Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the device to reduce the consumption of heavy water which is a raw material and obtain energy at inexpensive cost by allowing the device to catch deuterium and oxygen produced by elecetrolysis to perform combustion reaction so as to be heavy water. CONSTITUTION:When a current is allowed to flow between a cylindrical palladium cathode 4 and a coil-shaped platinum anode 5 in heavy water 6 to cause a reaction so as to generate energy, deuterium and oxygen are generated by electrolysis in a palladium vessel 3. Thereat, heavy water 6 steamed by the heating of deuterium, oxygen, the vessel 3, and the cathode 4 is caught 17 to feed to a turbine 11b so as to take out electric energy. Next, a gas exhausted from the turbine 11b is cooled to liquefy so as to feed to a heavy water reservoir 15 and further a gas constituent is separated from heavy water by an air dryer 12 to feed the heavy water to the heavy water reservoir 15. In addition, gas is fed in an oxygen adsorber 13 to eliminate oxygen to feed to a burner 14 is two routes separating hydrogen and oxygen and they are mixed again to cause a combustion reaction so as to feed to the heavy water reservoir 15 as deuterum. The heavy water is reused in addition to the heavy water 6 in the vessel 3.

[Lesson 8 to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions] Recently, Professor Freistein of the University of Sarathampton in the UK,
Professor Pons and his colleagues at the University of Utah in the United States have reported that they have succeeded in causing a nuclear fusion reaction at room temperature, which has attracted attention. In these reports, it is speculated that a nuclear fusion reaction is produced by placing a cathode made of a material that easily adsorbs deuterium, such as palladium, and a stable anode, such as platinum, in heavy water and passing an electric current between the two electrodes. A reaction occurs on the cathode, generating energy.

Since the above reaction is caused by passing an electric current between an anode and a cathode placed in heavy water, an electrolysis reaction occurs as a side reaction in addition to the above reaction. The amount of heavy water consumed by this electrolysis reaction is actually quite large, and it becomes necessary to add new heavy water to compensate for the heavy water consumed by this electrolysis, and in order to generate energy. This results in an increase in the necessary costs.
