摘要
An approach to produce efficient and economical hydrogen. which is one of the solutions of future energy, by inertial fusion energy reactor is discussed. This fusion reactor is with magnetic field such as mirror machine and graphite solid blanket. Neutrons and charged particles from nuclear reactions are separated from each other by this magnetic field. This results in hydrogen production efficiently in a solid blanket of high temperature with a breakeven of electricity by direct conversion of charged particle. The output of hydrogen may meet not only economical issue but also ecological issues.
