Abstract

A device for obtaining thermal energy by means of a low-energy nuclear reaction includes a tubular reactor that is configured to receive a metallic reaction material and inductively heat the reaction material, the reactor having an electrically insulating and induction-permeable material. The device further includes a closure that can be sealed in a vacuum-tight manner and configured to allow introduction and exchange of different metallic reaction materials, a gas exchange connection for evacuation and introduction of reaction gas, one or more sensors to measure temperature or pressure in an interior of the reactor, and an inductor for generating an alternating magnetic field in the interior of the reactor. The reaction material can be inductively heated by applying an alternating voltage to the inductor, the closure, and the gas exchange connection.
