Several phenomena are known that can only be explained by the generation of additional energy. The simplest is the phenomenon of a motionless trout in a stream of a waterfall. The stream of water flowing around the trout's body increases its energy. The source of this energy remains unknown. A theory is presented that posits a new type of nuclear reaction that occurred during the formation of the Earth's crust. As a result of these reactions, the elemental composition of the Earth's crust differs significantly from the elemental composition of the interstellar matter from which the crust formed. The physical conditions under which such reactions are possible are presented, and it is shown that these conditions are met in objects with circulating light. One such object is an air bubble, which forms when water pressure decreases. The nuclear reaction in such a bubble releases thermal energy, which leads to an increase in the bubble's volume. This increase in volume leads to an increase in the pressure of the water in which the bubble is located. As a result, nuclear energy is converted into mechanical energy of the water, meaning the bubble acts as a means for converting nuclear energy into mechanical energy. The same functions are performed by the main equipment of modern nuclear power plants, where nuclear energy is converted into the mechanical energy of compressed heated steam.
