Using hydrogen to fuse with boron-11 (^{11}B) to produce three alpha particles (helium nuclei) is an approach known as proton-boron fusion or p-B11 fusion. This reaction is of particular interest because it is aneutronic, meaning it produces very few neutrons and hence less radioactive waste compared to other fusion reactions like deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion. The p-B11 Fusion Reaction The specific reaction is: \text{p} + \,^{11}\text{B} ightarrow 3 \alpha Advantages of p-B11 Fusion 1. Aneutronic: Produces minimal neutrons, resulting in less radioactive waste and reduced shielding requirements. 2. Abundant Fuel: Boron and hydrogen are relatively abundant and inexpensive. 3. Direct Energy Conversion: The alpha particles produced are charged and can potentially be converted directly into electrical energy using electrostatic or magnetic means, improving efficiency. Challenges of p-B11 Fusion 1. High Temperature Requirement: The reaction requires extremely high temperatures, around 1 billion degrees Celsius (approximately 100 keV), which is much higher than the temperature required for D-T fusion. 2. Plasma Confinement and Stability: Maintaining the necessary plasma conditions (temperature, density, and confinement time) is very challenging. 3. Bremsstrahlung Radiation: At such high temperatures, electrons emit significant Bremsstrahlung radiation, which can cool the plasma and make it harder to sustain the reaction. Current Research and Development Several research efforts and companies are exploring p-B11 fusion. Notable approaches include: 1. Focus Fusion: Using dense plasma focus (DPF) devices to achieve the conditions necessary for p-B11 fusion. An example is the work done by the company LPPFusion. 2. Magneto-Inertial Fusion: Combining magnetic and inertial confinement to achieve the necessary conditions for p-B11 fusion. General Fusion and other research groups are exploring variations of this approach. 3. Direct Energy Conversion Research: Developing technologies to efficiently convert the kinetic energy of the alpha particles directly into electricity. Conclusion While p-B11 fusion offers promising advantages, especially its aneutronic nature, it also presents significant technical challenges. Achieving the required high temperatures and efficient plasma confinement are major hurdles that need to be overcome. Research is ongoing, and breakthroughs in these areas could make p-B11 fusion a viable and attractive fusion energy source in the future.
Can anyone help me to find out this fusion reactor?! What I know so far, they are still investing money to find out a solution?! I have just had a little knowledge about the nuclear fusion. Can you provide more of it!? That is too important than everything now. Too important!!!
Can you explain how they can use a desktop size to completely generate the electricity from nuclear fusion. That is too impossible, but it will be too important for entire human population. They will become richest richest richest human forever and they can control the entire Universe because of virtually infinite, effective, efficient and cheapest method to produce energy. Use show it to us. I hope I can meet them soon. Can you explain more in details. I look forward to understanding your invention.😊

蕭貓貓太可愛，好懷念以前蕭生錄影果陣佢出嚟搞搞震😂
😅
Can I have a website that is showing this technology? That is too good to be true!
🙏🙏🙏
連續不斷既高溫高壓核融合幾乎是無可能做到的，話可實用化是個笑話，現在有人提出新方法是好事，我都希望佢成功。

C12好穩定，冇放射性，點會分裂成3個He?
I think the catalyst you talked about is Muon not electron …
長知識😃👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
謝謝蕭生分享👍👍👍👍👍👍
磞在地球上有幾多，分佈如何
在此提點之前有說的cold fusion 被否定是fusion,那否定是正確的,但那時候Julian Schwinger提出說,如果真的要做到cold fusion,要能做到Quantum mechanical tunnelling便可,相信這便是Quantum mechanical tunnelling 了！
When this technology apply to robot, is this a hazardous to human.

電子催化，未聽過，點解催化磞和氫，唔催化氘和氚
可能是因為氚超貴，每克三萬美金
另一個可能跌入直覺思考陷阱，係電動車取代汽油車會令油價一文不值，要小心！其實石油有很多用處，而且有越小(存量或開踩)越值錢特性
其實仲要睇代替品有幾多
核融合！有排都未搞得掂！因發生核融合过程，须要不斷提供能量，一但停止提供能量，即時停止融合过程！太陽不斷有融合过程發生，因太陽有强大引力，使到氢原子有極高密度，互相压迫產生高温，發生融合过程！
👍
電動車終於有無限動力了😂😂😂
輕型核融合裝置 絕不相信
碳12是最稳定的的碳元素，怎分裂😅
❤
方舟反应炉
燒生！唔係重氫原子內有有多d能量，簡單啲講係核融合過程中會有質量損失，根據愛因斯坦質能轉換程式E=MC ² c係光速，m係質量。 損失咗嘅質量會轉化成能量。
You asked if we understand this matter or not? I don’t think you understand what you said either
佢係唔係講緊核桃攪拌機呀？
蕭生，呢單嘢唔係冇人出嚟駁咁簡單。喺網上，除咗Alpha Ring官網同台灣媒體，根本唔係幾搵到外國媒體報導或者外學學者、科學家評論。
Hello,
如果地球有大量 Helium 被生產，Helium 會毒死所有生物嗎？ Helium 很輕,會否飛離地球嗎？
希望在我有生之年能夠俾少D電費😂
當你老到不需開冷氣同打機時，電費自然會減小。😂
睇到 3:05 我都仲係唔信, 睇完再睇下我有無改觀.
如果真的能做到,被恐怖組織買了回去會怎樣?
有保留,如果真嘅, 等如預早頒發明年諾貝爾獎, 一早轟動世界
一定假既，如果真既上年已經頒左諾貝爾俾佢

蕭生，呢個唔可以作爲一個common sense嘅例子啩。你冇理由要求牛頭角順嫂知道咩係核融合囉。😅
順嫂中學畢咗業啦，如果讀理科，當年一定有讀物理。
@@nychan2939 正如你講，咁讀文科呢？物理唔合格呢？
蕭生，如有時間盡量去多D國家遊山玩水，保重身體
Iron man 就來出現
👍👍
