Perpetual Fusion: T + P => He-3 + Energy

[logic19]

In normal hydrogen bomb tritium and deuterium atoms fuse and lithium-6 is used as a regenerator of tritium.I have got a new alternative in which the regenerator is produced in the reaction itself .Here is it-

T + P => 2n + 2p {eq .taken in multiple of two}

4p => He-4 + e+(positron) + v {Energy released}

e+(positron) + 2n + He-3 => T + 2p

p + e+(positron) + 2n => He-3

Thus in whole process almost everything is recovered and until it gradually changes into energy.

Here- (T is Triton p is proton, D is deuteron)
(He-3 is helium nucleus of mass 3)
(v is neutrino, He-4 is helium ion.)
(e+ is positron {present in imaginary sphere})


That's all please help me to correct if i am wrong.

Ummm . . . No!

The fusion reaction takes place over microseconds and Li-6 if present would be rapidly consumed in D + Li⁶ which has a number of outcomes ->
1. ³He + ⁴He + n
2. 2 ⁴He
3. ¹H
4. ⁷Be + n

and the p-p cycle, which fuels many stars like our sun, requires very high particle densities, which do not exist long enough in a thermonuclear explosion.

e+(positron) + 2n + He-3 = T + 2p
p + e+ 2n = He-3

expecting 3 or 4 particle to combine as such is unrealistic.

 

[logic19]

But if we carry the reaction in (positron atmosphere )...imaginary.
THen,we have only two reactants to combine, I thought that main problem in this unrealistic rection is to combine triton and proton to form isolated neutrons and protons!
Better if u consider it as a totally new rubbish idea!

 

[Astronuc]

The positron would more likely annhilate with an electron. He-3 would readily absorb thermal neutrons, but in the fission/fusion reaction, the neutrons are prompt and fast (> 1 MeV). I don't see 2n combining with He-3, and even if one did to form He-4, He-4 has a very, very low absorption cross-section for neutrons - it is one of the most stable nuclei.

p + e+(positron) + 2n => He-3

just isn't going to happen

(e+ is positron {present in imaginary sphere})

I don't understand 'imaginary sphere'!

 

[logic19]

Imaginary sphere means environment in which reaction is going to be carried is full of positrons.

 

[Astronuc]

If the source of positrons is - 4p => He-4 + e+(positron) + v {Energy released} - this is not going to happen in a thermonuclear explosion. There is a reason the DT and LiD reactions were selected - among them, the fact the energy release of p+p-> d+e⁺ is only 1.4 MeV, and another - the cross-section of pp is very low, i.e. has low probablity of occurring. http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/energy/ppchain.html
