Abstract

A material arrangement for a fusion reactor comprising at least one material which is configured as a foam-like carrier material for condensable binding and fusing of hydrogen. The carrier material is provided with positively charged vacancies for condensing hydrogen atoms, small pores for receiving the condensate and for accelerating the condensation after previous penetration of atoms or molecules into these, and large pores for transporting a catalyst into the small pores. Furthermore, a method for producing the material arrangement is disclosed.

Claims (23)

1 - 15 . (canceled)

16 . A material arrangement for a fusion reactor comprising:

at least one material which is configured as a foam-like carrier material for condensable binding and fusing of hydrogen, the carrier material having

positively charged vacancies for condensing hydrogen atoms,

small pores for receiving atoms or molecules, and

large pores for transporting atoms or molecules into the small pores.

17 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the carrier material is meltable during a fusion, at least in certain areas, and, after a melting process, has its initial structure.

18 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the carrier material is provided with positively charged vacancies by doping.

19 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein a further material is provided which is applied as a catalyst coating for at least one of mechanical stabilization, chemical stabilization or acceleration.

20 . The material arrangement according to claim 19 , wherein the catalyst coating has positively charged vacancies.

21 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the carrier material is mixed with positively charged vacancies by doping and by a catalyst coating.

22 . The material arrangement according to claim 19 , wherein the catalyst coating is meltable during a fusion, at least in certain areas, and, after a melting process, has its initial structure.

23 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein at least one of the foam-like carrier material or the catalyst coating is fusion temperature resistant.

24 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the carrier material is one of a metal oxide, a transition metal, a ceramic or a carbon structure.

25 . The material arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein a superconducting liquid can be formed on the carrier material and increases a probability of an electromagnetic resonance.

26 . A method for producing a material arrangement for a fusion reactor comprising at least one material which is configured as a foam-like carrier material for condensable binding and fusing of hydrogen, the carrier material having positively charged vacancies for condensing hydrogen atoms, small pores for receiving atoms or molecules, and large pores for transporting atoms or molecules into the small pores, comprising the steps:

providing a carrier material raw material,

transferring the carrier material raw material into a foam-like carrier material, and

introducing positively charged vacancies at least one of into or onto the foam-like carrier material.

27 . The method for producing a material arrangement according to claim 26 , wherein the foam-like carrier material is stabilized with a catalyst coating.

28 . The method for producing a material arrangement according to claim 27 , wherein doping is applied to introduce positively charged vacancies into at least one of the carrier material or the catalyst coating.

29 . The method for producing a material arrangement according to claim 26 , wherein transition metals or metalloids are used for the doping of the carrier material.

30 . The method for producing a material arrangement according to claim 26 , wherein the catalyst coating is used for introducing positively charged vacancies onto the carrier material.
