Too bad there is no way to get that kind of 'official-sounding'
crap from Vassilatos off the internet (or reclassified as
fiction). And here is the most important message of the thread -
with what Richard Hull says about Vassilatos - basically that he
is "just wrong"... Richard personally interviewed the witnesses to
the event.
I'm wondering when the writers say 15.5 g neutrons, is that g 10^9?
It would seem to me that
The 10^9 is right, but it is capital "G", not "g".
if they thought this system would work the hot fusioneers would
have used it, correct me if you think I'm wrong.
Used it for what? The COP is incredibly bad.
Here's the calculation again assuming 10 MeV per neutron:
Gn/s Watts_in Watts_out COP
1.0 20 0.0160 8x10^-4
2.6 4750 0.0417 9x10^-6
15.5 10500 0.2483 2x10^-5
That means for each kilo-watt in you get at most 1 extra kilowatt
out. BTW, I made a mistake in the table above. It should look like:
Gn/s Watts_in NeutronWatts_out COP
1.0 20 0.0160 1+8x10^-4
2.6 4750 0.0417 1+9x10^-6
15.5 10500 0.2483 1+2x10^-5
assuming 100% efficiency in everything else.
