Also called the "Double Ball Drop".

Sci American had an article on this in the 1980s.

The "Slingshot Effect" obtained by salting the "Billion Degree" plasma with

a heavy atom (U238 or Zenon?) as well as using (Lithium Borohydride + PentaBorane (LiBH4 + BH5)

might get a better ROI.

This is similar to the effect of dropping a marble and golf ball (held together) onto the sidewalk

and seeing the marble go several times the drop height. Three-body collision with the earth?

 

Wear safety goggles if you try this!

 

Correction:

Coulomb barrier potential Z1*Z2*kq/d.

Coulomb barrier repulsive force Z1*Z2*kq^2/d^2

 

Wear safety goggles if you try this!

Reaction Cross Section for P-Li7

Reaction Cross Section for P-B11

 

http://www.phy.ornl.gov/astrophysics/data/cf88/plot/react57.gif

 

At first glance it looks like the cross sections are close to the same.

 

IOW, the 3/5  Li7/B11 coulomb barrier  potential ratio  Z1*Z2*kq^2/d^2 

approximates the 5/11 proton/nucleon ratio because of target atom inertia ?

 

Untangle that one for me.   :-)
