The new energy recovery method using secondary electron emission has been studied in order to improve energy recovery from high energy protons of fusion products in D-3He nuclear fusion generation. The model experiments were performed by using the tandem electrostatic accelerator and the basic characteristics were investigated. According to our results, for penetration aluminum is better as a target material than copper, H+ is better than He2+, and higher energy beam is better which agree with numerical calculations. A qualitative characteristic of secondary electron emission dependence on beam energy was also obtained.
