Deuterium How would you extract energy from gamma radiation directly?

Is there a metal out there you can bombard with electrons to get gamma radiation?

No, I am turning alpha particles into a proton pair and then waiting for them to fuse by applying energy. If you have a naturally decaying radioactive source such as C-60 which emits gamma radiation then you would not need to worry about input energy. Its just naturally supplied.

how much does it cost to remove a neutron?

It shows that the resultant of fusion is not beta(-) decay but instead beta(+) decay.

What about instead of a

bet

But it also says that there is a <0.01% decay into 2H through beta decay.

isn't He-2 isotope decaying into H-2(deuterium) just fusion?

No I mean that if you remove the neutrons in the alpha particle the protons would be close enough to allow for the protons to fuse. That is done using gamma radiation from a natural source. It would then form deuterium and not helium-4.

Doesn't gamma radiation strip neutrons from atoms?

Wouldn't the proton pair be past the coulomb barrier between the two? So would it be feasible?

Could you take alpha radiation and then strip the neutrons from it using gamma radiation and then apply radiation to heat the proton pair to lead to fusion?

I believe to have found a pattern for the goldbach conjecture, however I need help formalizing it into an equation and proof.
