◦. I believe that cheap clean source of energy can be harnessed through nuclear fusion if the conditions of the reactions are mastered and there is an improvement in plasma physics. With the rate research is dedicated to nuclear fusion, fusion as an alternative energy source will be realistic in the next 40 years. ◦ However, with my approach, come 2020 nuclear fusion will be a reality

 To figure a way to reduce the cost of production of fusion energy  To produce vast amount of energy from very little input according to E=MC2  To produce and environmentally friendly fuel with absolute zero emission  To provide cheap energy source to better our lives.  To explore which method of fusion is the best in terms of economic cost, output, and safety hazard.  For thermonuclear fusion, my aim is to build a reactor that can contain fusion at even lower temperature.  For the target beam, my aim is to devise a way to ensure that the accelerated electrons reach their target for 100 percent fusion and not ionization. Though this is as an alternative approach.  To investigate the appropriate catalyst that can allow fusion at room temperature without interacting with the products or terminating. Another aim is  To utilize the helium and neutron for further usage in a hybrid nuclear fusion-fission reaction.  MAIN AIM IS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE HEATING IN A THERMONUCLEAR FUSION REACTION

 1 L D fused with 0.5g T from L, equivalent to burning 1000L of gasoline  Self sustaining nuclear reaction  Cost reduces over time  Zero emission (no radioactive waster)  Neutron for oil reserve exploration (cost)  The helium is an important bye product (mention applications)

 D + T  Neutron + Helium + 17MeV  Repulsion by like positive charges  Nuclear attraction is greater than repulsion at closer distance  Hybrid mechanism combining thermonuclear and mutton catalysed fusion ◦ Mutton is 207 times bigger than electron ◦ Brings nucleus closer ◦ 150million celcius will drop considerably

 High density of plasma increases the chances of collision  The violent collision of atoms causes the electrons and neutrons to turn plasma  Magnetism is then utilised to confine the heat  Move in helical paths

 Deuterium is found in natural water. For every six thousand hydrogen atom, there is one  Tritium is abundant in space ◦ Can be synthesized in lab – though without much success ◦ Self sustained source from lithium  Lithium in earth crust (28K) in water (207m)

 Thermonuclear fusion  Beam fusion  Using a muon catalyst  My innovation is I will be using a hybrid of muon and thermonuclear fusion

 High heating  Neutron radiation  Muon production cost is higher than the energy output cost  Fukushima nuclear crisis  Creating condition for fusion

 Using muon and beam-target or beam-beam hybrid system instead of the proposed muon-thermonuclear fusion
