More Information
Summary:The present disclosure is directed to a device and method which generate heat and electrical power by controlling the density, focus, and speed of an ion beam from a low-power plasma in a plasma chamber from which the ion beam is extracted into a reaction chamber. This optionally enriches a target into a target hydride to initiate and sustain heat and optionally a cold fusion reaction in said target, recovering heat energy from said reaction to provide heating, and/or to generate electrical power. This optionally replenishes the target with additional ionic fuel and/or deposits additional target material when additional heat is not required, whilst during heating and optional enrichment/deposition and cold fusion cycles extracting excess fuel from the chambers to recombine if necessary with any fuel byproduct from the source fuel to then reuse as source fuel.
