Star Scientific has developed a unique method of economically producing pions. Muons are the decayed product of pions; muons are catalysts in the fusion of two Hydrogen isotopes.
This important research has the possibility to change the future of energy and end our reliance on fossil and uranium fuels.
Why fusion?
Fusion is extraordinarily efficient.
In only one cubic kilometre of ocean, we have the energy equivalent of the entire known oil reserves on Earth. For each gigawatt per day a city needs, a city must burn coal at a rate of 9,000,000 kilograms per day.
And in doing that, the pollution by this old technology will make 30,000,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide, 600,000 kilograms of sulphur dioxide, and 80,000 kilograms of nitrogen dioxide, and kilograms of other contaminants, each and every day.
By contrast, with fusion producing the same amount of power, that is a gigawatt that lasts for a day, that amount of energy production would require only one pound of heavy water containing deuterium to fuel the city's needs and that fusion process would produce only 1.81 kilograms of helium exhaust.
Plans are now being drawn for an international standard laboratory/research complex to do advance testing on our latest Muon Catalysed Fusion system.
What can Muon Catalysed Fusion do?
Muon Catalysed Fusion will lead to a practical alternative form of clean energy which is readily adapted to the generation of electrical power, replacing coal, gas and nuclear power stations and thus reducing green house gases.
Does Muon Catalysed Fusion use fissionable materials?
No, Muon Catalysed Fusion does not involve the use of any fissionable materials, such as uranium or plutonium.
Is there any radiation produced in Muon Catalysed Fusion system?
Yes, Muon Catalysed Fusion produces products that may be harnessed for energy production; these products are neutrons, gamma and protons of varying energies.
Is there any chance of a meltdown with a Muon Catalysed Fusion system?
No, as there is no fissionable material used in this process, such as uranium or plutonium.
Is there any radioactive waste created?
Muon Catalysed Fusion does not create radioactive waste as there is no uranium or plutonium used in the process.
