• TITLE: Thermonuclear Reaction as the Main Source of the Earth’s Energy

  AUTHORS: Edward I. Terez, Ivan E. Terez

  KEYWORDS: Energy of the Earth’s Core; Radioactive Decay; Thermonuclear Energy

  JOURNAL NAME: International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Vol.3 No.3, September 13, 2013

  ABSTRACT: The article shows that neither radioactive decay of long-lived radioactive isotopes nor the Earth’s “primordial” heat supply can explain a huge energy formed in the Earth’s core. A hypothesis is introduced that the main source of Earth’s energy is the thermonuclear reactions in the solid inner Earth’s core which consist of hydrides of irons and other metals.
