Abstract
An experimental machine (1) for producing low-temperature nuclear fusion reactions, wherein an ion source (3) feeds a flux of positive deuterium ions to a reaction chamber (2) housing a target (5) defined by active elements (30, 31) and by an aggregate of metal sulfate hydrated with heavy water; a pumping assembly (4) being provided to maintain a vacuum in the reaction chamber (2); and the reaction chamber (2) having an accelerating device (10) for accelerating the positive deuterium ions, and which generates an electric field inside the reaction chamber (2) to convey and accelerate the deuterium ions against the active element of the target (5) in such a manner as to initiate nuclear fusion reactions between the incident deuterium ions and some of the atoms of the active element.
Claims11
A machine (1) for producing energy by nuclear fusion reactions, characterized by comprising a reaction chamber (2);
- a target (5) housed inside said reaction chamber (2);
- a positive deuterium ion source (3) communicating with said reaction chamber (2);
- and a pumping assembly (4) communicating with said reaction chamber (2) to maintain a vacuum inside the reaction chamber (2);
- said target (5) comprising an active element (31) made of a material having a crystal lattice and deuterium atoms in its crystal lattice;
- and said positive deuterium ion source (3) feeding a flux of positive deuterium ions into the reaction chamber (2), so that said flux of positive deuterium ions strikes said active element (31) of the target (5) to produce nuclear fusion reactions between the incident positive deuterium ions and the atoms constituting the target (5) itself, said target (5) comprising an outer casing (30), which is substantially cup-shaped with a cavity (30a) facing said focusing device (13);
- said active element (31) being housed inside said outer casing (30) and being substantially cup-shaped with a cavity (31a) facing a focusing device (13);
- said active element (31) being struck by a concentrated beam of positive deuterium ions.
