Nuclear fusion fuel

Abstract

A fuel for nuclear fusion where the fusion fuel is compressible for producing fusion with lasers (22) or other means. The fusion fuel comprises a catalytic material mixed with a deuteride of an alkaline earth metal or alkali metal. The catalytic material may comprise a mixture or a compound containing red phosphorus, and a transition metal from Period 4 or Period 5 of the Periodic table. The fusion fuel is cheap and easy to manufacture, and the technology for compression is already available. There is a realistic prospect of commercially producing nuclear fusion energy.
