NanoFusion

NanoFusion is a technology for doing fusion more efficiently by leveraging forces at the nanoscale.

NanoFusion is similar to Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) techniques currently in practice by labs like LLNL’s NIF.

The key differentiators of NanoFusion are listed below.

1.  The easiest way to compress a gas is to encapsulate it in a solid.  Doing plasma fusion has been likened to putting rubber bands around jelly.  To carry the analogy forward NanoFusion is like using individual jelly beans for each reaction.

2.  Neutral molecules are easier (thus cheaper energetically) to fuse than ionized particles.  All current man-made techniques for fusion use compression of super-heated ions which waste a lot of energy and suffer from instabilities that destroy the reaction.

3.  We can better understand the forces required to fuse neutral deuterium.

4.  We can optimize our fuels in ways that traditional plasma based fusion techniques cannot.  Ways that lower the input energy required and give us a significant advantage.
