Hyper velocity impacts is the field of study of one Navy Researcher that published that obscure paper with an hypothesis that related the effects he saw (Cherenkov radiation) to “cold fusion” and his idea that electrons in a porous ceramic matrix could have the same behavior, idea which he allegedly tested filling an old battery with ceramic beads and electrolyte, and he claims these batteries produce electricity continuously. The experiment seems easy enough to replicate if one would only know which exact material he used.

I think redirmogician refers to the annihilation option to obtain energy from UHD.
Harvesting annihilation energy (mass into, mainly kinetic, energy) with current technology is extremely hard to do. This needs further research as Holmlid announced in the past.I think that is kind of obvious as Holmlid has proposed it as an idea to develop thinking on space propulsion more than anything else.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a feasible way to obtain usable energy from the reaction of Ultra-dense hydrogen in the scheme. And not just catalytic fusion. Is there a feasible way to convert the mass of a meson into usable energy before it is produced and eventually decays into a neutrino. Or is it possible for the energy produced by the annihilation reaction to be absorbed by the adjacent hydrogen as such.
Can you elaborate more in what you are asking? Do you mean if UDH could be used as a conventional chemical energy source? How do you think that the energy could be “absorbed” by the adjacent hydrogen?
Just trying to really understand where is your point of view coming from. -
The John Hutchinson jellyfied metals samples come to mind.
The MFMP channel also posted a video of this presentation, I think Bob will probably make a link between this effect and the Hutchinson effect. -
Here is the link to where one can go and download the pdf.

I don't remember seeing MIT listed as an international partner before?
Perhaps Hagelstein joined?

I wish someone would do a short summary of where BG stands now, and how he got there. There have been so many twists and turns, long videos, it is hard to keep track.
I don’t think there so much twists and turns, just a wider set of situations where matter coherence can happen. Be it a fluid dynamic system or a electrodynamic system, even a high velocity impact, events where there’s a big change of energy in a small frame of time. Coherent matter is the “micro ball lightning”, “plasmoid” etc where the matter can be transmuted and energy be released.

sam12 thanks for pasting this here, it is indeed a great job that Bob has done. And a gift we all have received.

I am all up for a good humor, but boys, this is high school level of humor. Puhlease!

Gerard McEk and Alan Smith , one has to remember that Monty and Michael have talked extensively about this technology being transformative rather than disruptive. They are fully aware that a paradigm shifting energy producing technology would be fought “with tooth and nails” by the ones on the top of the current paradigm. Thus, by solving a big problem (as it is the radioactive waste), as Alan suggests, they are opening a door to a soft transition that can help transform the world without disrupting it, echoing the famous quote of Richard Buckminster Fuller, that one cannot change the world by fighting against it, but by developing and alternative system that eventually renders the old one obsolete.

Within the SAFIRE reactor you can get energy from those wastes (that become fuel) and turn those wastes in stable and valuable materials. This is what I see them proposing. Not one or the other, but both together and at the same time.
It’s perhaps noteworthy that the MFMP has submitted a proposal for Fukushima tritium water remediation by means of the so called Ohmasa Gas, which is much more related to the SAFIRE reactor than one may realize on a first glance, and in the process of review they were asked for a more quantitative proposition.
As getting tritium water and even permission to do so is a bureaucratic nightmare, it is being proposed to do the quantitative assessment with other radioactive laced material, which is beach sand from the Kerala region in India (which is naturally radioactive), and that could serve as an easily accessible and regulation free model for study of energy production / radioactive material stabilization model.

The Liquid Thorium Fluoride reactors concepts that are being developped could solve many of the issues that make nuclear fission look like a dangerous alternative. The concept was tested to the MW scale in the 1960's in the famous Oak Ridge pilot plant.
As often, politics is found in the middle of why technical solutions are never developed to their potential.

28 posts moved here, as I say, please continue the nuclear fission pros and cons discussion here, by all means.
If you want, also you can discuss the other conventional nuclear fission here, I mean the thorium based one.

Opening this thread for moving a series of interesting posts but that are in a thread that is for another topic. For those that were interested in that conversation, this is the place to follow it. Go Nuts!!!

I don't believe any of those videos are new. If they are, they don't reveal any new details, as far as I can tell.
In any case, it's good to get an update. It appears Aureon is going the nuclear remediation route rather than the power generation route. I'm not sure I love that strategy, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The energy market is $8 trillion annually. Why not focus on that? Big pieces of the pie are available there for the first truly alt-energy company to grab and enjoy. Maybe Brilliant Light Power is too far ahead of Aureon in terms of commercializing a device. Or maybe Aureon is having a lot of trouble figuring out how to harness an excess energy. Or they've miscalculated somewhere.
Whatever the situation, let's hope their updates come more frequently from this point on.
I don’t see them going for the nuclear remediation only, they are clearly saying they want to produce energy while remediating nuclear waste and producing rare earth materials. Within the SAFIRE reactor you can get energy from those wastes (that become fuel) and turn those wastes in stable and valuable materials. This is what I see them proposing. Not one or the other, but both together and at the same time.

Folks, I think the nuclear energy discussion here is interesting, but this thread is for LENR vs solar / wind and other so called “green” technologies and Nuclear is not green by any stretch of imagination. So I think we can either create another thread for discussing of Current conventional nuclear technologies and their pros / cons or just return back to thread topic.

The news:
12/3/22
Subtle Atomics signs US$450M deal to provide annihilate reaction components and associated technology to an undisclosed European buyer. The componentry is fully tested, ready-to-use and will be shipped shortly. Devices have been demonstrated to have an energy density of around 50x fission/fusion based explosive systems. The system will be paired with low trajectory, long-range missile capability being purchased from an another undisclosed supplier, allowing strategic strike capacity in the range of 1200+ km.
In the interest of weapons non-proliferation, devices have been fitted with a deactivation system, with the activation codes held by an undisclosed third party. Activation codes will only be released in the event that similar mass destruction, chemical or biological weapons are used by other parties, in accordance with terms and conditions of our customer supply contract agreement.
Can you point where in the site the news appears? Don’t know if it’s my phone browser that doesn’t show the site properly but I can’t find the specified text. It sound like an April fools joke anyway, but Simon Brink is not know for being a prankster.

The video in post #462 indicates a number of technical issues will need to be solved, such as power required by the electron accelerator. Can you give one technical reason in support of the LCF concept?
While those issues will require a lot of research to be overcome, LCF has already been considered as is in an approach to more efficient Fission plants as you can see in the abstract of this recent publication.

I say "qualitative" because I do not think Huang has tried to estimate how much energy it would take to produce this damage. I suppose someone could estimate this.
I recall some of the features of the damage observed to the copper pipes require sustained temperatures over 700 degrees Celsius. But I was much more interested in the carbon deposits he found, almost blending in with the copper.
-
WRT Curbina's recent post #463, are there any technical reasons that you think that LCF is promising??
Not necessarily as presented, but has opened a much needed window, and a Brazilian team of nuclear engineers has made a proposal of how this could be developed forward.
