When heavy elements disappear?

[billvon]

Well what has science done lately?

Discovered CAR T-Cell therapy. A true cure for cancer.
Created mRNA vaccines.
Came up with the theory for the Alcubierre drive.
Redirected an asteroid.
Discovered Homo luzonensis, another human ancestor.
Created a baby with three genetic parents.
Took a radio frequency picture of a black hole.

Just to name a few.

Well what has science done lately?

these aren’t exactly exciting times for science.

That's your issue? That science isn't "exciting" enough?

To bad for you that reality so boring.

I think he has, ahem, other "issues".................

Primary? Secondary? Tertiary? What are you talking about? Nuclear weapons?

The pressure that a hydrogen-oxygen mix (or any mix) is under depends on how it is confined; you haven't specified that. Are you talking about gases? Liquids? Solids? What?

Your second sentence lacks any context, so it's impossible to determine what you might be talking about.

What's a "mt"? What's the relevance of a fusion to fission ratio?

You started talking about "fusion experiments", but now you seem to be talking about something quite different. Did you lose your train of thought?

Here's a question, how is fusion in any form supposed to reduce heat when it takes about a sun sized continuous? heat that powers a wimpy town of 10,000?

my only interest in building smaller fusion explosives is my patented idea of a power generating method that works at 2-80% efficiency of the explosive I made a thread about it 6 years ago perhaps you missed it.

One drills holes in the ground then sends down saws using the holes to cut the earth into on singular block, then an underground explosive is used to blast the block out of the ground, the cavity left behind is refilled with the dirt and rock of the block and lowered into the cavity spinning a generator.

I have several other power generating methods as well that would use large fusion. Scaling it down is key and using it as I said.

Fusion creates heat. That's why we are pursuing it.

No I think the experiment is a failure.

Which experiment? Be specific.

Hydrogen was made by the Big Bang and nothing else is known to create it.

That's false.

Look, it's probably better if you don't try to talk about things you don't understand. Or, at least, don't make silly pronouncements when you don't know. Try asking questions. You might learn something new, that way.

I don’t agree with him, and I hope one day you will wake up and work with me.

Who is it you don't agree with? trevor?

... and you know all my solutions.

I don't know what you're talking about. You don't seem to be able to focus on any topic for very long, and you segue from one topic to what seems like a totally unrelated one regularly, only to return with that bee in your bonnet about gathering all elements in one place. We're still yet to find out from you what you think that would achieve, despite numerous attempts to extract some coherent thoughts from you on that topic.

trevor:
You didn't address any of the questions I asked you. What's wrong?

Here's a question, how is fusion in any form supposed to reduce heat...

Who told you that fusion is supposed to reduce heat/temperature?

I mean, it can, under appropriate circumstances, but what's the relevance?

when it takes about a sun sized continuous? heat that powers a wimpy town of 10,000?

I can't parse that.

my only interest in building smaller fusion explosives is my patented idea of a power generating method that works at 2-80% efficiency of the explosive I made a thread about it 6 years ago perhaps you missed it.

How did you calculate the efficiency? 2 to 80% is a very large range, so it seems you are quite uncertain about this.

One drills holes in the ground then sends down saws using the holes to cut the earth into on singular block, then an underground explosive is used to blast the block out of the ground, the cavity left behind is refilled with the dirt and rock of the block and lowered into the cavity spinning a generator.

I assume you factored the costs of refilling the cavity into your efficiency calculation, did you? I'm interested to see how you did the calculations.

Got a link to your original thread, so I can read it?

I have several other power generating methods as well that would use large fusion.

Are they all as poorly thought out as the one you just mentioned?

 

[trevor borocz johnson]

Fusion creates heat. That's why we are pursuing it.

I imagine in the future someday they will just use wood, then one day take a look at fusion experiments and be like, those guys were crazy, and the book be permanently closed on using nuclear.

 

[Beaconator]

Well I would sound pretty crazy to say all the theories. If it’s not a way to truth it reinforces old truths.

Haven’t ever really heard a good theory from anyone tho.

I typically agree with you James R.

any fusion experiment without enough gravity.
