  Based on the theorized possibilities of resonant ion confinement, for a
Deuteron cloud in a Penning-Malmberg trap with a specially configured rotating
wall, the opportunity to design a new type of fusion device is prospected. It
is proven that, for some trap configurations, nuclear fusion reactions should
take place and, in that case, Lawson's criterion for an efficient fusion
reactor is met. Furthermore, the reactor could have a compact design and, since
it should not require a large facility, it can function as a fusion cell with a
pure ion thermal gas.
