Rh

Fusion Reaction


 * $$\mathrm{He_3 + H_2 \rightharpoonup He_4 + H_1}$$


 * at reaction temperature:


 * $$\begin{alignat}{2}

\mathrm{He_4} &= \mathrm{\alpha_4^{2+} + 2e^-} \\ \mathrm{H_1} & = \mathrm{p_1^+ + e^-} \\ \end{alignat} $$

the resulting charged particles can be magnetically funneled and used to charge induction coils upon exiting.

Pellet Size vs. Frequency



an engineering analysis must be done on the proposed engine to determine pellet size and pulse frequency.
