Controlled nuclear fusion for producing energy for civilian applications has been long awaited since the 1950s.

For technical reasons, current approaches are based only on Deuterium-Tritium reaction which produces 17.6 MeV.

In 2020, it was shown that solute ion linear alignment (SILA) could be applied to produce ion beams of protons H+ and bicarbonate ions HCO3- for cancer therapy. This was later accepted in 2021 for a poster for PTCOG-2021 with some additional information:

In nuclear fusion, it is known that four protons H+ fuse releasing 26.7 MeV.

In 2021, the concept of applying SILA for endothermic nuclear fusion was illustrated with an example of copper + rubidium fusion to form rare earth dysprosium, thereby illustrating that more abundant materials could be combined to form rare earths which are important in many technical applications.

SILA has been shown by calculations to be an extremely powerful method of ion acceleration. In ASME ES2010-90396, 10E+16 ions of Na+ and Cl-, i.e.,

10E+9 ions over 1 meter long electrode x 10E+7 ions over 1 cm wide electrodes having a Coulomb force of 10E-12 Newtons between each pair of ions will result in force
F=10E-3 Newtons on the ions at the end of the electrode surface.

Such force acting on sodium or chloride ions, with total weight in the range of m=10E-25 kg, will result in acceleration of
a=F/m= 10E-3/10E-25 = 10E+22 m/sec2!!!.

FIG. 1 illustrates this same principle can be applied to cause exothermic nuclear fusion by intersecting 4 H+ ions formed by dissolving CO2 in H2O as described in the 2020 website to release 26.7 MeV as opposed to 17.6 MeV for DT fusion.

If CO2 is dissolved in seawater, since seawater is the source of deuterium for D-T fusion, and there are trace amounts of Tritium in seawater, the intersecting beams should then act to cause not only 4 H+ fusion and D-T fusion but also D-D fusion (can use D2O also), which is considered normally far more difficult than D-T fusion.

According to nuclear theory, deuterium atoms fuse, forming helium-4 which is very unstable due to large energy release and discharges some of this energy by releasing a neutron, proton, or gamma ray.

Consequently, by simply dissolving CO2 in freshwater, seawater (or heavy water), via the simple concept of SILA electrode assemblies, which can also be powered by Solute Ion Monopole Motor Generator (see FIG. 1), the cost and timetable of nuclear fusion can be dramatically reduced and made available to address very serious consequences of climate change, in addition to the vast energy produced by SILA alone without need for either deuterium or tritium production, and possibly enabling Boron Neutron Capture Therapy BNCT by directly producing neutrons or by H+ ion beams impacting lithium.
