PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a practical device for a nonthermal nuclear fusion reaction by preventing lithium atoms from receiving recoil, with background information wherein it becomes clear that, when hydrogen ions in a buffer energy region of 1 keV-25 keV per nucleon are injected into liquid lithium in order to enhance a nuclear fusion reaction by a condensation force working between atoms, lithium atoms colliding with the hydrogen ions receives recoil and thereby a cohesive force effect almost disappears, and resultantly a nuclear fusion reaction enhancement effect is reduced. SOLUTION: Deuterium ions accelerated by pulse gas discharge plasma are injected into the electrode surface constituted from the liquid lithium, and the momentum shifted to the lithium atoms colliding with the ions is exported to neutrons, to thereby prevent recoil of the lithium atoms. Hereby, the recoilless nonthermal nuclear fusion reaction is enhanced without reducing the condensation force working between atoms in the liquid lithium. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve chemical nuclear fusion reaction in liquid metal to guarantee the persistence of reaction needed for energy extraction, which is not easily achieved by the chemical nuclear fusion reaction that uses low-speed ions projected onto the surface of liquid metal lithium, which is enhanced in astronomical quantities by thermodynamic effect of linked atomic fusion process, because the chemical nuclear fusion reaction is sensitive to conditions of the metal surface.SOLUTION: A fusion chain reaction is induced by starting nuclear reaction that generates neutrons and charged particles in a liquid lithium alloy in which a light element such as beryllium is mixed. Since, in the present invention, the liquid lithium carries out four functions: as nuclear fusion fuel, solvent for a mixed light element, a neutron moderator, and coolant, the nuclear fusion reaction device can be significantly made simple and compact. In addition, it eliminates the need to worry about radioactive wastes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple and practically-usable promoted nuclear fusion generation method and a promoted nuclear fusion energy generation device for keeping lithium clean, and simultaneously injecting a deuteron or proton beam into it. SOLUTION: The deuteron or proton beam drawn out of an ion source is separated from neutral particles and molecule ions through a filter, accelerated, and injected into the liquid target surface of liquid lithium, a lithium compound or the like. Hereby, nonthermal nuclear fusion is promoted by a thermodynamic force in the liquid lithium, and a secondary nuclear reaction caused by slow neutrons generated by the nuclear fusion is also promoted indirectly.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve a problem that fusion promotion effect is suppressed in a chemical fusion injecting deuteron or proton beam of energy of 50 keV or less per nuclide in liquid target of molten metal lithium because a chemical fusion reaction producing lithium hydride in the liquid competes, though a reaction rate increases to 10 13 times or more by a thermodynamic force in the liquid. SOLUTION: For avoiding the competing chemical reaction, lithium ion extracted out of an ion source or accelerating lithium ion generated by discharge in the reaction tank is injected onto the surface of liquid target such as molten metal lithium or lithium alloy and the like, the problem is resolved by inducing chemical fusion reaction which increases due to thermodynamic force in the liquid target.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for restraining abrupt local temperature elevation, because it gets clear that recoilless nonthermal nuclear fusion reaction wherein deuterium ion having 110keV or less of bombarding energy is injected into nonthermal nuclear fusion reaction fuel comprising mainly a lithium liquid to grow nuclear fusion reaction by thermodynamic force in the liquid is reduced by the abrupt local temperature elevation on a liquid surface. SOLUTION: A substance of a low boiling point such as sodium and potassium is added as a cooling agent to the nonthermal nuclear fusion reaction fuel comprising mainly the lithium liquid to restrain the abrupt local temperature elevation in an reaction area on the liquid nuclear fusion reaction fuel surface, so as to remove a reduction factor in the growth of the nonthermal nuclear fusion reaction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a chemical nuclear fusion reaction, including the step of injecting a deuteron or proton beam having an energy of thousands electron volt per atomic mass unit into a target liquid of molten lithium, causes nuclear fusion enhancing effect to be offset by deterioration of metallic lithium on a chemical reaction conflictingly occurring to produce hydrogenated lithium in the target liquid despite increases in reaction rate 10 10 times or more by a thermodynamic force in the liquid. SOLUTION: The interior surface of a reaction vessel is covered with a neutron absorber 11 such as metallic lithium, boron, their compounds or the like to avoid the chemical reaction occurring conflictingly. Ions of an inert gas or molecular ions 10 with light/heavy hydrogen produced by discharge in the reaction vessel are injected into the target liquid 4 consisting of a nuclear fusion substance primarily consisting of molten metallic lithium to produce recoil ions having an energy of thousands electron volt per atomic mass unit in the liquid target 4. Thus, a recoil lithium chemical nuclear fusion reaction is induced by the thermodynamic force between recoil ions and the atoms of the liquid target substance without inducing conflicting chemical reaction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that the nuclear fusion enhancement effect is counteracted by a degradation of metal lithium due to the competing occurrence of chemical reactions generating lithium hydride in a liquid target though a reaction rate is enhanced by 10 10 or more times by thermodynamic force in a liquid in a chemical fusion reaction where deuterons or a proton beam with an energy of a few keV per atomic mass unit of around 10 keV per nucleon is injected into the liquid target of fused metal lithium. SOLUTION: In order to exclude the competing chemical reactions in this invention, the inner surface of a reaction tank is covered with neutron absorbers such as metal lithium and boron or compounds of lithium and boron and ions of an inactive gas evolved through the electrical discharge in the reaction tank or molecular ions with light deuterium are injected into the liquid target made of fusion materials composed mainly of fused metal lithium. The injection generates recoil ions with energy of a few keV per atomic mass unit in the liquid target made of fused metal lithium, lithium alloy and the like and induces a chemical fusion reaction with recoil lithium which is enhanced by the thermodynamic force between the recoil ions and atoms of the liquid target materials without any competing chemical reactions.
