Directional Production of Composite Particles
20200027573 · 2020-01-23 ·

An apparatus for creating composite particles with nuclei and electrons in one or more bound states. The apparatus has a vessel containing a gas such as hydrogen, deuterium or helium at a predetermined pressure, and a pair of electrodes extending into the vessel. The positive electrode is separated from the negative electrode by an adjustable gap. One or more capacitors are connected to the electrodes to provide a DC discharge, causing an arc across the electrodes. The apparatus has a pump configured to circulate the gas at a predetermined flow rate through the gap between the electrodes. Discharging the capacitors creates an electrical arc across the gap that ionizes the gas, generating a plasma that includes composite particles having a nuclei and electrons in the one or more bound states.

Localised energy concentration

There is provided a method of producing a localized concentration of energy. The method includes creating at least one shockwave propagating through a non-gaseous medium so as to be incident upon a pocket of gas suspended within the medium. The pocket of gas is spaced from a surface shaped so as, at least partially, to reflect said shockwave in such a way as to direct it onto said gas pocket.

Cavitation Heater
20190139652 · 2019-05-09 ·

A cavitation heater is an apparatus that implements deuteron fusion in order to produce heat. The apparatus includes a heating chamber, a quantity of heavy water, a piezo-disk antenna, a target foil, a transmission line, a signal generator, and a control unit. The heavy water is retained within the heating chamber and is agitated by the piezo-disk antenna in order to form cavitation bubbles. These cavitation bubbles impact the target foil in order to produce deuteron fusion events that consequently produce heat. The signal generator sends an electrical signal along a transmission line to the piezo-disk antenna in order to dictate how the piezo-disk antenna vibrates within the heavy water. The control unit is used to manage the operational functionalities of the apparatus such as instructing the signal generator to adjust the frequency of the electrical signal.
