I can only assume SaltySpoon is being sarcastic. If not then you can add him to a long list of crackpot physicists on the web. Just google all the people who have solved the greatest mysteries of physics by stringing a multitude of scientific words together into nonsensical sentences... You are better off taking those classes first and working on a research project in an accredited university.
Nope, not at all, I'm actually a Nuclear Physics student. I've got another year or year and a half to finish my masters.
7000 C is technically still cold fusion, as natural fusion is only known to take place on the sun. Its far more difficult, even theoretically to have that sort of reaction happen at 0C or whatever "Real" cold fusion is supposed to be at. So I believe the best chance is to replicate the Sun's process as closely as possible within earthly limitations. Its all highly theoretical anyway, so I far from believe I have a method down that will work, when thousands of far more qualified people have worked on it before me, but my goal is to establish new methods which haven't yet been tested. To my knowledge, no one has tried using a deuterium catalyst similar to the sun, to fuel an already started fusion reaction. It has been done with a hadron collider in someway or other, however it has been horribly power inefficent, requiring far more power to start than it could generate, and only allowed it to last for a split second. My plan is to essentially add fuel to allow a simple fission reaction (Thorium in this case due to its chemical properties) to maintain the energy required to hit the activation energy needed. I'm well aware I'd never get funding to actually try it out, but maybe someone with money will build off of my findings.
Anyway, if I need a lab assistant, I'll let you know
Oh yeah he's definitely just fucking around
Hehe, yeah I know, Thorium goes through fission, but in order to start a fusion reaction, you need rediculous amounts of energy to hit the activation energy for reactions to start taking place, I'm talking about using Thorium + pehaps a liquid helium or deuterium catalyst to provide that initial energy to start the "cold" fusion reaction. I've already run the rough calculations for creating the magnetic field that would allow the reaction to run its couse, although I still have to find a location that would accomodate 7000 C temperatures.
I feel sufficiently retarded.
From your own link: "Cold fusion is a hypothetical type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature,
compared with temperatures in the millions of degrees that is required for "hot" fusion"I find 7000C to be far closer to 25C than 1 Million + C
Also, I shall not derail your thread anymore. If you wish to discuss, we can do it via pm.
