[Vo]:MFMP Power Out Curve Question

2012-11-18 Thread David Roberson
I have been following the fine work of the MFMP team and analyzing the data. These guys are doing excellent work and I congratulate them for sharing their data on a real time basis for everyone to view. I wish that we had the same cooperation from the other experimenters, but I understand why

Stars may not be so fine-tuned after all A change in nature's fundamental constants could still allow star formation. Would stars light up the sky in other universes? It's often claimed that the fundamental constants of physics in our own Universe are exquisitely tuned to permit stars – and

Sorry if this confuses matters, but I recall Celani stating somewhere in writing: believe me, this device is not a black-body radiator. It may have been on that Italian site with 22 in the name. No time to hunt it down just now ... Jeff On Sun, Nov 18, 2012 at 12:29 AM, David Roberson

BTW, the Celani's wires are based on Isotan (Constantan trademark): http://www.isabellenhuette.de/fileadmin/content/widerstandslegierungen/ISOTA N-ISABELLENHUETTE-R.pdf?PHPSESSID=e5f77mrb8kiksmi0afimqcnub4 The Isotan contains 1% of Mn. Celani didn't say that Mn plays a magic role in his wire.

I've looked at this a little. It's been under study for over 30 years, so the pros and cons are pretty well understood. The wikipedia page (thorium fuel cycle) covers them. It's definitely feasible, probably an economic win for countries with a lot of thorium (e.g. India), and arguably a little

Thorium itself cannot be used directly. Natural thorium is mostly composed of a single isotope, Th-232, that is only fertile, not fissile. Use of thorium in a power reactor or weapon requires that the natural Th-232 be transmuted within an already-operating reactor to U-233, which is fissile. This
