This fusor can reach 85 kV and do deuterium fusion, producing 2.4 × 10 4 neutrons per second. [ 5 ] University of Illinois Dr. George Miley's team at the fusion studies laboratory has built a ~25 cm fusor which has produced 1 × 10 7 neutrons per second using deuterium gas.

+ 4 2 He 1 0 n + 7 3 Li → 3 1 T + 4 2 He + 1 0 n. The reactant neutron is supplied by the D-T fusion reaction shown above, and the one that has the greatest energy yield. The reaction with 6 Li is exothermic, providing a small energy gain for the reactor. The reaction with 7 Li is endothermic, but does not consume the neutron. Neutron ...
The deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reaction is considered the most promising for producing fusion power. Schematic of a DEMO nuclear fusion power plant. When deuterium and tritium fuse, the two nuclei come together to form a resonant state which splits to form in turn a helium nucleus (an alpha particle) and a high-energy neutron. 2 1 H + 3 1 H ...
Articles dealing specifically with using this process to produce useful power are contained in the subcategory Fusion power. Articles about nuclear processes that are speculative or poorly understood (like cold fusion ), or whose potential for power production is remote (like muon-catalyzed fusion ) are kept in the main category.
Lawson calculated the fusion rate by assuming that the fusion reactor contains a hot plasma cloud which has a Gaussian curve of individual particle energies, a Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution characterized by the plasma's temperature. Based on that assumption, he estimated the first term, the fusion energy being produced, using the volumetric ...
D 0 + D 2 → D + + e + D 2 (reionization, with 01 =3.79×10 −21 m 2 at 1 MeV) D + + D 2 → D 0 + D 2 + (charge exchange, 10 negligible at 1 MeV) Underline indicates the fast particles, while subscripts i, j of the cross-section ij indicate the charge state of fast particle before and after collision. Cross-sections at 1 MeV are such that ...
