Low energy nuclear device -- CA 2772463 A1 ABSTRACT The herein described invention is an apparatus for producing thermal, electric, or mechanical energy, or a combination thereof, from the fusing of atomic nuclei at temperatures below conventional nuclear fusion temperatures. Fuel or fuels capable of undergoing nuclear fusion are stored in a reaction vessel into which an input energy is delivered by a control module to start the nuclear processes. Output power is delivered in the form of a) thermal energy directly from the interior or exterior of the reaction vessel and, b) nuclear radiation energy that is converted into thermal energy inside the shielding material of the reaction vessel and then subsequently extracted. Optionally, the apparatus may contain one or more modules that function to convert the thermal energy from the nuclear reactions, into another desirable form of output energy.
