Has anyone thought of using di-neutrons in a hydrogen fusion reaction for energy generation? If you take a hydrogen molecule and a di-neutron particle then you have all the right ingredients for a helium nucleus. The question is could we find the right conditions of temperature and pressure so. that if a di-neutron arrives between the two protons of the hydrogen molecule then the protons will bond to each end of the di-neutron?

I have a hypothesis that the di-neutron particle is produced at a level of around 1% in the bottle method of measuring neutron decay which accounts for the discrepancy with the beam method. Also it is reported in the Wikipedia page on neutrons that di-neutrons are produced in the decay of Beryllium 16Be. If we could overcome the technical difficulties of producing and managing di-neutrons we might find that the hydrogen fusion reaction can be induced under less extreme conditions than the current designs for hydrogen fusion reactors.
