This paper describes a method of extracting energy from the fusion events occurring between the collision of a beam of protons with a beam of ions of Boron 11. The two beams are circulating in separated and intersecting storage rings where they collide head-on in a common long-straight section. Requirements on the beam parameters in the collider are presented. Limitations due to space-charge forces are discussed; it is found necessary to provide beam-charge neutralization with electrons. The paper discusses also the effects of Coulomb scattering between particles of the same beam and in the opposing beams. Methods are proposed for the controlling of the electromagnetic interaction.
