Boys.... size isn't important at all
isn' it ?
Well what about something like the Toyota I-Road or the Nimbus One. A two or 3 person enclosed bike/car hybrid vehicle with 100hp is quite zippy I must say. Obviously structural super capacitors and regen braking would be necessary.
Good evening this is LeBob on a different account due to the fact I seem to have trouble signing in again. Happy New year and pleasant discussion to you all now. Interested in how to get to the Chat Gpt page for the site because I clicked on the link and didn't see it. Just regular Google search. Second question, does it also include forum discussion and comment section data from relevant websites like here?
Surplus protein found in the vessels of post mortem vaccinated patients not a direct causal relationship with infection but more closely corelated with vaccination. You can count on me following this research.
Amazing, potentially ground shattering, but scary possibilities here. Intriguing though, good evening science folks stay safe.
Traditional nuclear fuel has a huge energy density, but a limited power density - roughly 10% that of rocket fuel (iirc). The problem is, the ceramic fuel is an insulator, so traps it's evolved heat inside itself. At higher power densities the fuel would melt - which is less than ideal.
It's not to surprising that a metal electrode could handle higher power densities, it's simply a better conductor of heat.
This is why you have a liquid fuel that is its own coolant. The energy density will rise significantly with a liquid or dusty plasma fuel medium.

Apply similar physics to LENR. is a molten fuel LENR reactor similar to a LFTR possible?
Hmm i'm pretty sure based on the numbers i've seen theoretically both fission and LENR can get much hotter.
Display MoreAs of three years ago Mizuno was achieving up to 10W/cm2
this compares with the 30W/cm2 of fission pellets. He is working on increasing that
as well as other things.
"The excess heat calculated on the basis of the assumption that the reactant was nickel was several 10 W/g and was 1 to 10 W/cm2"
The problem with fission reactor is that they do not scale DOWN. well.. due to the requirements for shielding/heat exchange...it gets very uneconomic to have 20 MWunits
The advantage of LENR reactors such as Mizuno's is the lack of radiation
and if the problems of continuity/ controllability are overcome then
units as small as 0.001 MW become economic so that distributed power generation becomes the norm rather than
the current power generation from large 100- 500 MW fossil fuel/fission
The current price of the alternative distributed power generation...solar panels...is decreasing fast
but is still high compared to the fossil fuel/fission plant. However some governments are interested in both
large scale and distributed small scale solar
Have you heard of SMRs or small modular reactors especially when mass produced and small enough to be delivered/fit in a shipping container, installed underground for radiation/safety reasons?

Also there are the Gen-4 options. These same technologies would probably be in some way aplcable to LENR reactors producing large amounts (<2gw?). Considering no need for heavy thick shielding and more direct energy conversion methods.
Every indication is that LENR will scale well. It has produced temperatures and power density equivalent to fission reactor fuel pellet, which is enough for any application short of earth-to-orbit spacecraft. See the video and script here:
I wouldn't be so sure to say no earth to orbit. Couldn't you do thermal nuclear rocket but without the heavy shield? Even like the LENR equivalent of a SABRE.
