Abstract

An apparatus for generating fusion reactions comprising an anode, a cathode located inside said anode, said cathode defining a volume located centrally with respect to the assembly of said anode and said cathode, said volume being free of any tangible structure and including associated sources of electric power and gas supply; characterized in that arranged between said anode and said cathode and spaced between them there is an ion generating grid and being supplied from a single source of power supply a positive potential slightly higher than that of the anode so that a potential difference creates a first electric field in a first space between said anode and said ion generating grid and because there is a second electric field in a second space between said ion generating grid and said cathode; because a source of fusion gas connected to the interior space has been provided to said ion generating grid and supplying thereto a neutral gas at low pressure; because said second electric field is of sufficient magnitude to impart melting reaction energies to the positively charged gas particles in said second space; because both said ion generating grid and said cathode are permeable to the passage of charged particles and gas; because in said first space there is located a thermionic cathode to obtain electrons in said space adjacent to said generating grid of ions that ionize the neutral gas inside it; because said anode, ion-generating grid and cathode are located and maintained at minimum potentials in the vicinity of the center and maxima in those of the ion-generating grid, so that the energy ions go towards the center being driven at sufficient speeds to produce nuclear fusion reactions.
