A Low-Cost Alternative Approach to Nuclear Fusion via Sonofusion Using Liquid Hydrogen in High-Pressure Containers

Authors: Hyunho Shin

Current nuclear fusion research faces immense engineering and economic challenges, primarily relying on complex plasma confinement methods such as tokamaks and laser-induced inertial confinement. These approaches demand extreme conditions and significant infrastructure investments, delaying commercialization. This paper proposes an alternative fusion method utilizing sonofusion (bubble fusion), where microbubbles collapse under ultrasonic and microwave stimulation to generate localized extreme conditions.A novel approach is introduced by employing liquid hydrogen confined within a high-pressure capsule, accompanied by a lithium catalyst. The system is designed to leverage cavitation-induced fusion through external ultrasonic, microwave, and magnetic field stimuli. The energy produced is transferred to an external water tank, where conventional steam turbine cycles can harvest it. This proposed method is estimated to cost only 1/100th of existing fusion facilities, offering a more accessible and scalable experimental pathway to fusion energy.Accompanying this research are various schematics and diagrams that provide a detailed visualization of the proposed system architecture, reaction chamber, and energy recovery mechanisms. These visual aids ensure clarity in the theoretical underpinnings and technical feasibility of the approach.
