Demonstration of Continuous Net-Energy Production in Tomoiu Internal Confinement Fusion (TICF) Reactors
Abstract
Constantin Tomoiu
Since Arthur Eddington proposed nuclear fusion as the energy source of stars in 1920, achieving controlled fusion with net-positive energy production has remained one of the greatest challenges in modern science and engineering. Here, I’m reporting the development and experimental evaluation of the Tomoiu Internal Confinement Fusion (TICF) process, a hybrid chemical-thermonuclear system designed to generate continuous net-positive thermal energy through the continuous formation and confinement of transient hydrogen-based microplasmas.
The TICF process employs internally generated acoustic, electromagnetic, and magnetic fields to heat, compress, and stabilize high-temperature microplasmas formed within hydrogen-air-water reaction systems. Experimental testing conducted between 2019 and 2025 at multiple independent facilities, including the City College of New York and the University of Maryland, reported sustained thermal output-input ratios (Q-values) ranging from 2 to 8 across several reactors configurations.
The experiments further reported the absence of measurable neutron flux or gamma radiation, while positively charged particle signatures and transient plasmas bursts were observed during operation. These findings are interpreted as evidence consistent with aneutronic fusion reactions involving Protium and Nitrogen species. The results indicate that TICF provides a pathway toward continuous, radiation-free, and scalable fusion-based energy generation.
