Since deuterium and tritium carry a very strong positive charge I propose firing a negative charge partice stream between and perpendicular to timed deuterium and tritium acceleration. All of the current fusion reactors (that I know of!) concentrate energy in various forms to a pinpoint of theoretically
stationary deuterium tritium fuel and use more energy than they produce.

Can you elaborate on this – ie. why is it an improvement? |
|
| |
The negatively charged particles would greatly diminish the repulsive forces between deuterium and tritium thereby decreasing the external energy needed to bring about the fusion reaction. Also this would allow the constant flow of fuel required to produce usable heat energy. |
|
| |
I'd like to see what [Vernon] has to say about this... |
|
| |
Doing so would compromise the integrity of the Poloidal field. How could you maintain the plasma septum with tokamac architecture? It seems you haven't thought this through. Your suggestion would create impurities that would cool the plasma enough so that the D-T transaction would cease, or never reach ignition, unless the excitation was carefully timed, which is impossible without exorbitant doping. I think the European JET model is way ahead of you here. Back to the drawing board. |

Fusion Power Sounds promising but it is NOT!! If you use up all the hydrogen on earth.... Then we will all die!!!! of thirst!!!! Remember the deuterium is extracted from water!!!!! |
|
| |
dear, oh dear, oh dear. DOn't even know wwhere to start so won't bother. Suggest read some scientific papers and come back later. Ann what phil says - most of his [Vernon's] nuclear theories are rubbish too. |
|
| |
ttyo- only some of the hydrogen is detranium. And, there's A LOT of water. |
|
| |
[goff] What you say about [Vernon]'s contributions to this site may indeed be true, however I don't see many annos from you tackling [Vernon]'s posts head-on. Perhaps you might one day enlighten us by backing up your assertion? |
|
| |
I am not trying to be rude or sarcastic to you, but [Vernon]'s posts are usually detailed enough (...!) to be thoroughly picked apart by someone suitably knowledgeable. |
|
| |
Timing is the key. I'm obviously way out of my league on this one, I appologize..... |
|
| |
I don't know how closely a negative charge can come to a positive charge with only electrostatic interaction. Much like a violin, you'd need wondrous power amplification to make much of the electrostatic pulse that you'd be attempting to modulate. |
|
| |
[TTYO] Do you have any idea how much deuterium is present in the world? It's enough to make fusion plants profitable, but believe me, its not anything NEAR enough to seriously impact the water content of the earth. What, do you think the entire ocean is heavy water? |
|
| |
Deuterium and Tritium are not positively charged, but the nucleus of each is. Getting two positively charged nucleui to collide head on is the trouble with fusion. Which firing negatively charged particles at wouldn't help at all. |
|
| |
Then again, read up about muon-catalyst fusion. |
|
| |
Fusion reactions produce little usuable heat energy, they produce neutrons, alpha, beta radiation and gamma rays. All of which need to collide with something to heat it up. |
|
| |
More effectively, why not use a linear accelerator to collide a cod and a mackerel, then we'd have nuclear fishon... |
|
| |
(A smattering of lemon pepper seasoning could help catalyse the reaction too) |
|
| |
I must award you with a smelly fish. |

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this site was called "HalfBakery.com", not "StompOnYourIdeaToCompensate.com"! |
|
| |
Actually that should be pickapartpoorideas.com |
|
| |
[mhuppertz] I have learnt (from painful experience) not to take this site too seriously. Be glad if you can raise a few interesting or funny annos - that's better than being ignored. |
|
| |
If you think you're having a hard time, take a look at [Pocketassreturn]... |
|
| |
CONTROL is the big problem with this idea. You have to have hydrogen nuclei approaching each other for fusion to occur, and you have to have lots of them doing that for significant power production. While getting electrons in-between two mutually approaching nuclei MAY encourage fusion to occur, getting lots of electrons in-between lots of nuclei at just the right time is the problem here. |
|
| |
P.S. for those who were here long enough and remember, I once posted a hypothesis about Cold Fusion, which actually has a basic similarity to this idea (electrons aiding fusion). It's gone from the HalfBakery now (too theoretical), but not forgotton (see link). |
