Fusion Energy: On the Track of a Different Philosophy and Solution

The editorial staff has chosen to publish this letter to present new nonorthodox physical ideas, which necessitate pondering on possibilities about how to formulate new physics and conduct the supportive calculations. This letter is just a proposal for a different philosophical view on the possibility of reaching the fusion reaction, outlining the corresponding physical solutions. If the presented ideas find followers and support, further developments may be expected for the realization of the technical aspects of this fusion process. At least, we hope this letter to the editor provokes discussion in the fusion community.

When two (or more) nuclei fuse to form a heavier element, a known quantity of energy is released. Today, the process seems easy to describe, at least to some degree.

The endeavor to construct the devices for fusion energy is great, and there are some experimental ones running the diverse experiments. The proposal now presented is a nanoapparatus. If one could do such a nanodevice, it could be integrated in a wide range of applications once it is possible to consider it portable and able to generate different controllable amounts of energy.

The author calls this document, in a broad sense, a conceptual thesis. Mostly, it has natural language as the principal tool. A guide for the calculations was worked to complete the essay, supporting a possible configuration of a nanodevice. This is a kind of a conjecture, a logical but speculative one, that needs to be verified. Like some studies, this one shows first and only its most theoretical content.

The author either explicitly or implicitly discusses the space-time fabric, double-slit experiment, and other concepts, like nonduality and indistinguishability. The technology is supported by some established theories or others that have been adapted.
