Thanks for your question, Apart from the availability and the known ease of fusing Deuterium, no, there is no particular reason, the other fuels have also been mentioned in the patent. Clearly a fuel having a positively charged fusion product is preferred, as those reactions contribute in the charge separation process.

I think my idea of using the kinetic energy of the fusion ash to separate and amplify a charge through an electrical potential is novel, and if the process works, it will offer another way to convert fusion energy into electricity directly.

The p + B11 reaction is troublesome, due to it’s small cross section, and so far as I am unaware, no amateur scientist has achieved p+B11 fusion in any measurable way or form, although I do have a friend who has been trying for the last 10 years. Who knows, one day he might succeed.
