BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a molten lithium fusion energy generating apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a molten lithium nuclear fusion energy generator according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, liquid lithium 9 is placed in a reaction vessel 7 that can be evacuated.
It contains a cathode 2 impregnated with hydrogen, a hydrogen gas introduced from a hydrogen injection device 5, an anode 1 to which a pulsed high voltage can be applied from a pulse power supply device 4, and the like.

Further, the reaction vessel 7 is provided with an insulating ring 3 for enabling high voltage application. Further, in the reaction vessel 7, there are provided a He recovery device 6 for recovering helium generated by the fusion reaction, a heat exchange system 10 for recovering the generated heat around the cathode, and a heat utilization system 11 for utilizing this heat for power generation or the like. It is provided.

Liquid lithium 9 with which the cathode 2 is impregnated
Can be replenished by a lithium replenishing system (not shown) installed outside the reaction vessel 7.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

In FIG. 1, the liquid lithium 9 impregnated in the cathode 2 in the reaction vessel 7 and the anode 1 arranged above it.
The pulsed high voltage generated by the pulse power supply device 5 connected between the two is applied between the cathode 2 and the anode 1 containing the liquid lithium 9 to discharge in the hydrogen gas sealed in the reaction vessel 7. Generate. Due to the discharge, a part or most of the hydrogen gas is ionized and becomes hydrogen ions.

Hydrogen ions are accelerated by a pulsed electric field between the anode 1 and the cathode 2 impregnated with liquid lithium 9 to form a hydrogen ion stream. The flow of hydrogen ions reaches the surface of the liquid lithium 9 and the buffer energy (buffer energy) fusion reaction of (Equation 1 and Equation 2) occurs. The energy generated at this time is generated by the heat conduction of the porous metal forming the cathode 2 and liquid lithium, etc.
And finally converted into energy such as electricity in the heat utilization system 11.

At this time, the pulse discharge current is changed by changing the voltage of the pulse power supply device 4, the pulse width, and the number of repetitions of high voltage application, and the amount of hydrogen ions flowing to the surface of the liquid lithium 9 is adjusted. Can be done.

As can be seen from (Equation 1 and Equation 2), one atom of Li undergoes a buffer energy nuclear fusion reaction with respect to one hydrogen,
Helium atoms 3He, since 4He (energy generating amount at this 4.0MeV) or ⁴ He produces diatomic (energy generation amount at this 17.3MeV), controls the amount of energy in response to the flow of hydrogen ions It shows that you can do it.

Here, matters concerning the discharge conditions will be examined. When a strong electric field is present in the hydrogen gas space, very few electrons originally in the gas are accelerated, and the number rapidly increases while collision ionization with hydrogen molecules is repeated, resulting in discharge. At this time, if the discharge starting voltage is Vs volts, the gas pressure is ptorr, and the electrode interval is dcm, Vs is a function of only pd for the same type of gas. When the gas pressure p is lowered with the electrode distance d kept constant, Vs gradually decreases, but rises again to a certain minimum value.

This is because when p is lowered, the mean free path of electrons becomes longer, the acceleration due to the electric field is large, and the impact ionization becomes more active. Since the number of electron collisions decreases, collision ionization becomes inactive and Vs rises again.

Here, in the case of pulse discharge, 0.01 kV
/ Cm ≦ V ≦ 1000 kV / cm, and 10 ⁻³ Tor
When a region of rcm ≦ pd ≦ 10 ⁴ torr cm is selected, an ion energy of about 1 to 10 keV can be obtained. Hydrogen ions are accelerated by the electric field between the anode 1 and the cathode 2 containing liquid lithium 9 to form a hydrogen ion stream. The flow of hydrogen ions reaches the surface of the cathode 2 containing the liquid lithium 9, and the buffer energy (buffer energy) fusion reaction of (Equation 1 and 2) occurs. The energy generated at this time rapidly heats the liquid lithium, but is rapidly transferred to the heat exchange system 10 due to the heat transfer effect of the porous metal or the like forming the cathode.

The transferred energy is generated by the thermal energy utilization system 11 and is effectively utilized for district heating and the like. At this time, in order to improve the thermal efficiency, it is possible to cover the reaction container 7 around the cathode 2 which generates heat with a heat insulating material to enhance the thermal efficiency. At this time, by controlling the pulse power source 4, it is possible to temporarily stop the discharge and to eliminate the flow of hydrogen ions, and the generated energy can be safely and easily controlled.

Therefore, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the optimum amount of energy generation according to the purpose, and to provide the energy that is easy to handle with few restrictions in use.
