Hi Axil et al,
This makes me wonder (as many of you probably also have) about some new
particular ways to approach manufacturing the reactor from scratch. It
seems certain that structure, especially micro- and nano-structure, of the
fuel especially is just as important as the material itself.
Question: Not sure if it has been discussed before, but could it be that
nanoparticulate fuel arrangements are not the ideal? Many workers, most

Very interesting, indeed. How much water are you using? If everything were
100% efficient, and you were inputting 12 watts/hr = ~40 btu/hr, over 3
hours you would have 120 btu, which theoretically could raise 1 pound of
