Hereinafter, further details will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, radiant energy and nuclear reaction will be described. Generally, the temperature of the discharge arc during electric welding is about 6,000 K (absolute temperature), and this temperature is close to the surface radiation temperature of the sun. According to Stehan-Boltzmann's law, the amount of heat (electromagnetic wave energy) radiated from the surface of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of the black body's absolute temperature (thermodynamic temperature). The amount of heat (electromagnetic wave energy) radiated from the body is about 70,000 kW / m ² . Generally, the sun is set to 5,800 K (absolute temperature), and the amount of heat (electromagnetic wave energy) radiated from the sun is about 64,000 kW / m ² .

In addition, as schematically shown in FIG. 1, the sun S is located at a position about 150 million km away from the earth E. However, since the size of the sun S is huge, the light receiving point P on the earth E is shown. The viewing angle α of the sun at 1 m ² is about 0.53 degrees.

When the distance between the light receiving point P on the earth E and the sun S is schematically replaced by L = 10 m, the diameter of the sun approximates to D = 92.5 mm when this viewing angle is considered as α = 0.53 °. can do. That is, it approximates to placing the radiation source 6 with a diameter D = 92.5 mm and 5,800 K (absolute temperature) at a distance L = 10 m from the light receiving portion 4 of the light receiving surface 2. Further, since the area of the radiation source 6 is about 677 mm ² and the ratio to 1 m ² is about 148.9 (1 / 148.9), the radiation of 429.8 kW is emitted at this position with an area of 1 m ^2. Approximate placing source 6. This also corresponds to the fact that a solar cell placed at a position of 10 m generates an electric output of 200 W / m ² for sunlight with a solar constant of 1 kW / m ² . This represents the correspondence between the output of the test electrode glow discharge light emission from the radiation source 6 of 5,800 K radiating energy to 64,000 kW / m ² and the electric output (power generation output) of the solar cell. This fusion reaction state can be assumed by using the correspondence relationship and receiving the energy of glow discharge luminescence with a solar cell and monitoring the power generation output.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, one embodiment of a cold fusion reaction apparatus will be described. In FIG. 3, the cold fusion reactor 12 includes a sealed reaction vessel 13.

As the electrolytic solution, for example, an electrolytic substance (for example, sodium carbonate: water mixed with distilled water (for example, 95%) and heavy water (for example, 5%) is used. Na ₂ CO ₃₎ can be used to dissolve the.

  A positive electrode 22 (acceleration positive electrode) and a negative electrode 24 (acceleration negative electrode) are disposed in the electrolytic solution 20 of the container body 14 so as to face each other at a predetermined interval. The terminal portion 26 of the positive electrode 22 is electrically connected to the positive terminal side of a power supply device (not shown), and the terminal portion 28 of the negative electrode 24 is electrically connected to the negative terminal side of the power supply device. A voltage (reaction voltage) from the apparatus is applied between the positive electrode 22 and the negative electrode 24. In this embodiment, the electrode surface of the negative electrode 24 functions as the radiation surface 30, and glow discharge light that will be described later is radiated from the radiation surface 30.

A cooling pipe 36 is built in the electrode support member 34, and an inflow side 48 thereof communicates with a coolant supply source (not shown), and the coolant from the coolant supply source flows in from the inflow side 48. Then, after flowing through the cooling pipe 36, it flows out from the outflow side 50, and the cooling liquid flows in this way, whereby the negative electrode 24 is cooled.

Space).

  In a glow discharge emission state (that is, a cold fusion state) described later, hydrogen ions (double hydrogen and tritium) are generated on the positive electrode 22 side, but the generated hydrogen ions communicate with the first chamber 56. It is discharged to the outside through the first discharge pipe 60. Further, oxygen ions are generated on the negative electrode 24 side, but the generated oxygen ions are discharged to the outside through the second discharge pipe 62 communicating with the second chamber 58.

  In addition, an electrolyte supply pipe 64 for supplying an electrolyte is provided. One end of the electrolyte supply pipe 64 passes through the lid member 16 and communicates with the inside of the container body 14, and the other end is supplied with the electrolyte. The electrolytic solution is communicated with a source (not shown), and the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic solution supply source is supplied into the reaction vessel 13 through the electrolytic solution supply pipe 64. An upper level sensor 66 and a lower level sensor 68 are provided in the container body 14, and when the liquid level of the electrolytic solution 20 in the reaction container 13 is lowered to the lower level sensor 68, the electrolytic solution through the electrolytic solution supply pipe 64 is reduced. When supply is performed and the liquid level rises to the upper level sensor 66, the supply of the electrolytic solution 20 is stopped, and thus the liquid level of the electrolytic solution 20 is maintained in a predetermined level range.

  In this embodiment, the light receiving means 68 is provided in association with the reaction vessel 13. The light receiving means 68 is composed of, for example, a solar cell 70, and the voltage applied between the positive electrode 22 and the negative electrode 24, that is, the reaction voltage is adjusted using the power generation output of the solar cell 70 as described later.

  The cold fusion reaction by the cold fusion reaction device 12 is performed as follows. A power supply device (not shown) is operated, an operation switch (not shown) is turned on, and a reaction voltage (about 100 to 300 V) between the positive electrode 22 (acceleration positive electrode) and the negative electrode 24 (acceleration negative electrode). For example, 250V). When the reaction voltage is applied in this manner, the electrolytic reaction of the electrolytic solution shifts to a plasma state, a glow discharge light emission state is generated between the positive electrode 22 and the negative electrode 24, and between the positive electrode 22 and the negative electrode 24 in the reaction vessel 14. Becomes a cold fusion reaction state.

  At this time, hydrogen ions generated on the positive electrode 22 side are discharged out of the reaction vessel 14 through the first discharge pipe 60, and oxygen ions generated on the negative electrode 24 side are out of the reaction vessel 14 through the second discharge pipe 62. To be discharged. Further, when the electrolyte 20 is reduced by the energy in the cold fusion state, water from a water supply source (not shown) passes through the water supply pipe 64 based on the liquid level detection signal of the lower level sensor 68. When the electrolytic solution 20 is increased by this water supply, the supply of water from a water supply source (not shown) is stopped based on the liquid level detection signal of the upper level sensor 66.

  Further, the energy in the cold fusion state is radiated from the radiation surface 30 of the negative electrode 24, and the light receiving means 68 receives the light from the radiation surface 30 and outputs a light reception output. The output from the radiation surface 30 of the negative electrode 24 is emitted as ultraviolet rays, visible rays, and infrared rays, and such output energy is converted into electric power by a solar cell 70 as the light receiving means 68.

  Then, based on the light reception output of the light receiving means 68, that is, the power output of the solar cell 70, it is applied to the positive electrode 22 (acceleration positive electrode) and the negative electrode 24 (acceleration negative electrode) from a power supply device (not shown). The reaction power is controlled. When the glow discharge emission, that is, the active state of the cold fusion reaction becomes strong (or weak), the light receiving output of the light receiving means 68 becomes large (or small). In such a case, the positive electrode is supplied from the power supply device (not shown). 22 and the reaction power applied to the negative electrode 24 is controlled to be low (or high), and by controlling in this way, the activity of the glow discharge luminescence state (that is, the cold fusion state) is weakened (or Thus, the glow discharge light emission state, that is, the cold fusion reaction state can be stabilized and continuously operated.

  The fusion reaction by the discharge reaction in the electrolyte solution in the reaction vessel 13 is not a self-sustained reaction of the fuel itself but a reaction triggered by the input of energy from the outside. The reaction stops as soon as there is no charge. Therefore, the fusion reaction is stopped by turning off the operation switch (not shown), and can be easily stopped in this way, which is extremely safe.

After that, the first switch means 208 may be closed to shift to the cold fusion reaction.

  As mentioned above, although the embodiment of the cold fusion reaction method and apparatus according to the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications or modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

In order to confirm whether the cold fusion reaction occurred, the following experiment was conducted. As an experiment, a cold fusion reactor having the form shown in FIG. 7 was used, and distilled water (95%) and heavy water (5%) were mixed as an electrolytic solution, and sodium carbonate (Na ₂ CO ₃ ) as an electrolytic substance. What was dissolved 0.1 mol was used. A cylindrical container having a diameter of 7 cm and a length of 30 cm was used as a reaction container, and 1 liter of an electrolytic solution was filled in the reaction container. The distance between the positive electrode (acceleration positive electrode) and the negative electrode (acceleration negative electrode) was 15 cm, and the distance between the electrolysis positive electrode and the positive electrode (electrolysis negative electrode) was 0.5 cm.

  First, in order to perform an electrolytic reaction, a voltage of 2 V and 1 A (electrolytic voltage) was applied for 5 seconds between a positive electrode for electrolysis and a positive electrode (negative electrode for electrolysis). Thereafter, a voltage of 250 V and 1 A (reaction voltage) was applied between the positive electrode (acceleration positive electrode) and the negative electrode (acceleration negative electrode) in order to shift to the cold fusion reaction. When this reaction voltage is applied, the electrolyte in the vicinity of the negative electrode becomes milky, this milky state spreads, and countless small sparks are generated across the area between the positive and negative electrodes, resulting in a glow discharge light emission state. The current decreased to 0.1A. If the glow discharge light emission state continues for several seconds, the electrolytic solution in the reaction vessel boils and the boiling state becomes intense, and if this intense boiling state continues for 5 to 6 seconds, the liquid surface level rapidly decreases due to evaporation. The electrode and the negative electrode were exposed from the surface of the electrolytic solution. Therefore, when the reaction voltage was lowered to 50 V, the glow discharge light emission state was calmed down and the inside of the reaction vessel returned to the original state.

  After this experiment, when the amount of evaporation of the electrolyte was measured, it was about 150 cc. This liquid evaporation amount corresponds to 60 kW · h in terms of electric power, and the electric power taken out from the reference positive electrode and the reference negative electrode in this experiment is a voltage of 200 V and a current of 10 A, and a power output of 2 kW · h. was gotten. Considering such a state and the amount of energy generated, it is considered that the cold fusion reaction occurred.
