Abstract

Disclosed is a method of Deuterium fusion and more particularly, a fail-safe, controlled bubble fusion reactor producing a power output of electricity and heat. It is self contained having 3 internal main chambers and externally mounted computer and electric power output terminals. Internal Chamber A contains devices for removing gases and solids, storage of fresh and spent liquid, pump and heat exchanger, pressure regulator and check valve, and sensors. Chamber B contains circulated pure liquid D₂O within which are mounted a pair of parallel electroacoustical piezoelectric quartz crystal transducers with a narrow reaction gap between supplied with transducer energies of ultra-sonic sound plus amplitude modulated UHF EM. A cycled gap sonic pressure wave creates small bubbles which absorb both gap energies so as to cycle through radius increases during the negative portion of the energies cycle and then violent collapse during the positive portion of the energies cycle to a very small radius in 2 stages. During end of final stage, a collapsing spherical bubble produces a spherical shock wave allowing “selective resonant tunneling” through the Coulomb barriers of pairs of adjacent Deuterium nuclei resulting in fusion. Chamber C contains 2 RF generators and some electronics for controlling the fusion reaction. External computer provides electronic fail-safe oversight, visual touch-screen display of system functions for monitoring and making adjustments, and manual by-pass fail-safe override push switch.

Claims

1. A method of producing ultra-sonic bubble Deuterium-Deuterium nuclear fusion in a narrow liquid reaction gap of pure D₂O between a pair of parallel electroacoustical piezoelectric quartz crystal transducers therein which during transmission mode applies an acoustical pulsing field, modified and assisted by UHF EM amplitude modulated at the frequency of the transducers, to the reaction gap which fields create alternating negative and positive pressure pulses in the liquid D₂O to vary its ambient pressure sufficiently to induce in the liquid in said reaction gap a cavitation effect which causes small bubbles in the liquid to expand by means of the negative pressure pulse and then to collapse violently by means of the positive pressure pulse producing a high temperature high pressure shock wave thereby overcoming the Coulomb barrier of Deuterium nuclei via selective resonant tunneling;

with built-in electronics which automatically overwhelms and counterbalances effects of reactor motion, orientation, gravity, stray magnetic fields, and natural attempts at reactor run-away;

in a self-contained reactor container utilizing specific devices for filtering gases, solids, storage of spent and fresh liquid D₂O, pressure regulation and check valve, heat exchanger and pump, sensors, and electronic signals generation with automatic fail-safe control circuits both internally and in the external computer, which has visual monitoring and manual programming and adjustment provisions with manual over-ride switch, thereby overall creating fail-safe methods for producing, containing, controlling, and auto-adjusting the bubble fusion reactions;

resulting in electrical and heat power output.

2. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the effects of reactor motion, orientation, gravity, stray magnetic fields, and natural attempts at reactor run-away are overwhelmed and counterbalanced in said liquid D₂O reactor gap by creating an electronically generated proper phase relationship between the ultra-sonic sound and the UHF EM amplitude modulated frequency of the transducers with proper phase relationships to said bubbles during their expansion and collapsing phases thereof in said liquid D₂O reactor gap.

3. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein to generate, control, and supply ultrasonic sound energy and AM UHF EM energy to said liquid D₂O reaction gap.

4. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein to maintain to a proper ambient temperature, pressure, and circulation of fresh liquid D₂O for spent liquid D₂O in said liquid D₂O reactor gap.

5. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein primary power output electrical energy piezoelectrically generated in said transducers as a result of the bubble fusion impacts on the transducers is transferred to external terminals to which an electrical load is attached.

6. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein secondary power output heat energy generated in said transducers and in said liquid D₂O reactor gap as a result of the bubble fusion is transferred to the outside environment via warmth of the reactor container itself having been mainly supplied with heat from said heat exchanger.

7. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said piezoelectric generated electrical energy from said transducers is utilized to control fusion reaction via “

electronic detuning”

techniques of said transducers and adjustments of phase relationships between said reaction gap energies and to the phase of the bubble cycle so as to match fusion reaction to electrical power output load.

8. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said sensors sensing problems feed signals to said external computer which automatically results in reactor fail-safe shut down via electrically short circuiting both transducers.

9. A method as defined in claim 1 whereby said external computer panel provides for visually monitoring, adjusting, and setting controls via a touch-screen Liquid Crystal Display, all functions of the system in a fail-safe manner;

and, for manually, via an over-ride push-switch, to by-pass electronics and short circuit both crystal transducers which kills the reactor.
