Safire eyes commercialization within 5 years, with launch of new company Aureon Energy!

Quote from axil

This water release might be a potential market opportunity for the SAFIRE III reactor as well as saving the Pacific ocean from radiation contamination.

Nope. There is no danger. The oceans and atmosphere have ~100,000 times more naturally occurring tritium than TEPCO will release. Global inventory: 2,590 petabecquerels. (2,590 quadrillion). TEPCO release: up to 22 trillion becquerels of tritium per year. 2,590 quadrillion / 22 trillion = 117,727.

Tritium - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Tritium is formed in the upper atmosphere from cosmic rays. It falls into the oceans and land. The half life is 12.3 years, but it is replenished by cosmic ray activity. Nearly all the tritium from atmospheric nuclear bomb tests is now gone. Most of the tritium TEPCO is releasing now will be gone by the time they finish releasing it 35 years from now.

QUOTE:

"Around 140g to 200g of tritium is produced in the upper atmosphere every year. The Pacific Ocean contains around 8400g of tritium, while the total amount of tritium at Fukushima is less than 3g.

Japanese authorities plan to gradually release the water over a period of around 40 years. Each year, around 0.06g of tritium will be added to the ocean which will change tritium levels in the Pacific by less than 0.001 percent annually.

A recent study by two government institutes in South Korea used computer models to predict how Fukushima tritium moves with ocean currents. They found tritium levels in Korean waters would rise by less than 6 parts per million, a change too small to detect."

The Chinese are complaining about TEPCO, but the mass of tritium and other radioactive elements they release from their reactors and coal combustion per year is far greater than the TEPCO's tritium, and far more long lived and dangerous. China releases 112 trillion becquerels of tritium per year from nuclear reactors, and France releases 10,000 trillion becquerels per year. (https://www.tepco.co.jp/en/dec…ed-water-lan/index-e.html)

I recommend to read the Aureon Energy Ltd. latest document shared by Mark Pinnell a few posts back, with attention. They are focusing their efforts in a very specific market: Treatment of Fracking produced water for very specific market reasons, it is a market with a complex problem, stringent regulations to comply and very low competence for technological solutions.

I happen to be aware that this market is very niche but economocally attractive to deploy innovative solutions because years ago I was trying to find a supplier for Direct Osmosis plants, which use a concentrate solution with a termolabile and reusable solute, to draw water out of the problem liquid through a membrane, a process that lends itself very well for ZLD applications (Zero Liquid Discharge), and I was interested in this for desalination with better profile for use of solar energy. I had a long talk with the sales representative and she told me they were focused exclusively on the fracking produced water recovery market, and had no interest whatsoever to provide for the agricultural irrigation water segment at that time. This was 10 years ago, and they still don’t sell for the agricultural market.

It's not just LENR researchers that face difficulties. Michael Claridge, part of the Safire/Aureon team posted this recently.

So was treated my attempt to comment on a recent article on Principia-Scientific. The article is about pulsars, a topic I know something about, as I used to lecture on the standard view ( dead stars spinning ), and through hard-won efforts changed my mind to a more electrical view, see for example the electric circuit model of pulsars by Peratt & Healy.

The recent Principia article is here

My attempted comment,

These are exciting observations.

Yet, as a practising astronomer, I disagree with a few aspects of the article. First, these objects are dead stars exactly as a butterfly is a dead caterpillar.

Second, I do not appreciate the rigid certainty about the "spinning dead star" model. This is one model for pulsars. There are other models which, in my opinion, explain some of the data better, such as the electrical circuit model of Peratt & Healy. I am guessing that who ever wrote this article called up a couple of professors at major universities whose funding depends upon being right instead of upon asking questions.

Third, whoever wrote the article, how about challenging yourself and making a little matrix of data which is better explained by several different models for pulsars. Especially on a site like Principia-Scientific. Give us the results of your homework.

I do not know when I became a forbidden voice on PS. I have even been reviewed/published on Principia-Scientific, here. Of course there is some AI underneath this. My published works on the web have all been scraped, and the algorithm-de-jure Has binned me with the deplorables.

"Principia Scientific" isn't exactly a bastion of establishment orthodoxy.

Have a look at what DeSmog says about them.

I don't think anyone should jump to conclusions about their spam blacklist algorithms. People find themselves on blacklists for all manner of bizarre reasons.

Note that the article was copied from one on the Daily Mail website - and, as far as I can see, most articles on the PS site are simply scraped from other sources.

If the site is, indeed, a "beard" for what DeSmog claims to be primarily a publisher of climate disinformation, then it probably doesn't really want many comments under its scraped scientific articles at all - since they may just be there for show. It would be in no position to respond, since the article wasn't written by anyone at the site. One way of achieving that would be to simply blacklist people who regularly comment on articles...

Maybe I am behind the curve on this, but your link above led me to an interesting discovery. Safire are interested in remediation of radioactivity in fraching waste-water.. See Mark Pinell's link here.

https://www.lenr-forum.com/attachment/25033-aureon-energy-project-report-20230928-pdf/

The link below is to a long and involved but interesting story on DeSmog about lawsuits around this very problem- a quote is below the link. BTW I have had dealings with Veolia in the past, and was not impressed.

In West Virginia, Plan to Clean up Radioactive Fracking Waste Ends in Monster Lawsuit

In rural West Virginia, largely hidden among steep hills, stands a $255 million facility designed to transform fracking waste into freshwater and food grade…

www.desmog.com

“The radioactive levels at the Marcellus shale formation are off the charts,” said Marvin Resnikoff, Ph.D., a nuclear physicist and radioactive waste specialist who has served as a legal expert on cases involving oilfield radioactivity worker exposure. Resnikoff stated if excessive amounts of steam are being witnessed at a plant that processes fracking wastewater then these “treatment facilities are essentially boiling off or distilling water and concentrating the radioactivity” and “the steam should contain radioactive elements.” These emissions, said Resnikoff, “could potentially mix with the hydrologic cycle and” fall out as “radioactive rain.”

Maybe Safire are interested in remediating the radio-active steam mentioned in the piece?

The steam was produced by the Clearwater processing plant, where as SAFIRE III will be installed at each well, I presume, so no boil off or cooling towers will be necessary, and hence no steam and all waste will be treated before exposure to the atmoshpere. So yes they will be addressing this concern as far as I can tell.

Are you suggesting that Safire are planning to run a water-filled plasma reactor?

Quote from Alan Smith

An aqueous reactor is one of the options but they havent given details about the decision yet. It Could also be gaseous or a mix of the two I think.

That is the idea I got from reading their last update document, albeit is a radical departure of their original design.

The small size of the reactor looks like it probably is a simple water reactor... however that would work. I know nothing about plasma other than seeing it used in gas on YouTube. LOL

I have heard about it being used in water but not sure on how it is done and if SAFIRE can get into a quisscent state but they wouldn't be considereing it if they didnt think it was feasible I guess.

I really should proof read my posts. =(

Using plasma in water is a pretty well-known technique -generally at higher pressures and temperarures than that system would survive. BIACO Energy in the UK is doing that - their website has suffenly gone dar btw. Now private access only.

Well, if you ask me, the pictures of the lab scale reactor from Aureon Ltd latest pdf look a lot like a reactor of this kind. However one thing is the reactor and other is how you run it.

Quote from Curbina

However one thing is the reactor and other is how you run it.

Make it out of the optimum materials, maybe treat the waste water with extra gases or fluids, pressurize or depressurize, apply energy (DC at a certain frequency or variable if conditions are variable to keep the plasma in quiescent state) and Bob's your uncle LOL. Who knows the flow conditions and plasma interactions within... Surely it looks like another patent will be necessary as it looks nothing like the old anode ball in a chamber design.

Today's press offices mostly use AI (GPT) to filter comments and paper content. GPT is a rule base text analysis tool you easily can extend to count black listed words or persons.

So it not about humans censoring humans it's about money greedy editors doing effortless cashing in of fringe benefits for cleaning out...

The tools they use just show how primitive minded today's editors are. A daily newspaper rejected my comment being made anonymous albeit I had to login for commenting and second time I did head it once more with my name that then came back in less than a second. This was the final prove they use GPT.

Just be aware that the time of free speech are over. Big money has taken over press/TV/Networks and openly constructs a new planet with electronic borders.

Yes, I received plasma with water and oil, that's fine, that's what I'm doing! I missed discharges of 5 kV and received a discharge from the rotor, where a reactor with a voltage of 1400 volts was stuck, and everyone should go further without hydrogen and detetrium. This is how I make my concretions, they are formed from sandstone and clay, carbonates at low pressures up to 100 atm, and I don't know the voltage yet. I was doing 1000 uf and 6 kilovolts. And it is necessary to 100 kV or more. Due to the discharges, the temperature appears and the discharge should give a ball lightning from which a concretion is formed-this is how it should be -I don't see any other way.

Action at a distance should allow a gas based SAFIRE reactor to process radioactive waste by placing the SACIRE III reactor inside a container of waste and letting that waste be exposed to the electroweak gage particles that the reactor is emitting though its transparent gas enclosure.

This method was experimentally deminstated in this work

Low-energy nuclear reactions and the leptonic monopole

Georges Lochak*, Leonid Urutskoev**

This experiment used a Plexiglas partition to separate the plasma produced by an exploding foil from a solution of uranium salt. U238 was seen to decay fractionally to lead.

I explained the theory behind this experiment recently to support a discussion I had with A Smith. Look that discussion up if there is any interest.

RE: The Exotic Vacuum Object (EVO) as the cause of the vacuum reaction.

[…]

The Higgs mechanism involves two quantum properties of particles: Weak Isospin and Weak hypercharge. These properties combine to produce charge. Weak Hypercharge produces mass. If the charge of a particle is reduced, the masking of the Weak hypercharge property is occurring. That means that charge masking and mass masking are directly related. Also Weak hypercharge masking will also produce some level of electroweak unification. If beta decay is accelerated or eliminated. then electroweak…

I've never heard any of the SAFIRE team use any terms that you do. Let me know when you have a working experiment.

The SAFIRE theory team does not beleive that LENR is involved in the SAFIRE process because they understand that fusion cannot be happening inside their reactor. So they just invent some new terms that describe what they are seeing without understanding how and why it is happening.

I don't need to have a working experiment, the one I referenced should suffice:

Actually this is the theory Safire employ.
