Unified Gravity Proton-Lithium Fusion Reaction Chamber
Clean Fusion Energy
QuoteDisplay MoreUnified Gravity Corporation's patent application entitled Hydrogen Lithium Fusion Device was published November 27, 2014 and reviews seven years of experimental proton-lithium fusion data and can be viewed by clicking the patent application title above.
The Gravity Theory Based on Mass-Energy Equivalence (MEE Gravity Theory) published in the physics journal Acta Physica Polonica B determines the proton energy for the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) process that was pioneered by Unified Gravity Corporation.
The largest high-energy particle peak count rates achieved with the alpha particle detection system have exceeded 500,000 CPS with energies around 5 MeV after penetrating a 25 micron thick grounded aluminized mylar shield directly in front of a stainless steel disk with a 1 micron diameter aperture positioned at a distance of 4 cm from the proton-lithium plasma.
The proton-lithium fusion power output may be determined by measuring high-energy alpha particles with calibrated ORTEC ruggedized particle detectors and performing standard solid angle calculations to determine total alpha particle production. There is no harmful radiation produced. Current research includes additional methods for measuring fusion power.
Experiment History
QuoteDisplay MoreUnified Gravity has been performing proton-lithium fusion experiments for eight years at several laboratories. Early experiments originally focused on using proton beams with kinetic energies equivalent to the lithium Coulomb barrier (300 keV) and yielded very low fusion efficiencies.
2007-2008
Proton-lithium fusion experiments were performed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, AL using a NEC Pelletron ion accelerator to create a proton beam with energies up to 1.4 MeV and beam currents up to 50 µA. The purpose of these experiments was to evaluate solid lithium targets for creating fusion.
2009-2011
Proton-lithium fusion experiments were performed at University of Louisiana, Lafayette, LA using a NEC Pelletron ion accelerator to create a proton beam with energies up to 1.4 MeV and beam currents up to 50 µA. Conventional fusion efficiencies were directly measured with ORTEC and p-i-n diode particle detectors.
2012 - 2013
Proton-lithium fusion experiments were performed at University of North Texas, Denton, TX using a low energy Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) proton gun to create a proton plasma beam with energies between 50 eV and 5 keV and proton currents up to 1 mA. In other experiments, a bias voltage between 200 and 1000 volts was used to form the proton-lithium plasma. Consistent production of alpha particles under both techniques for proton-lithium plasma creation was measured by ORTEC ruggedized particle detectors and p-i-n diode particle detectors.
2014-2015
Proton-lithium fusion experiments are currently performed at the Unified Gravity R&D Laboratory. Many methods to create proton-lithium plasma are implemented within a 40 cm spherical reaction chamber. The measurement devices include a complete alpha particle detection system and a residual gas analyzer (RGA).
