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.
