But remember: I'm no rocket >scientist, like youse all. [snip] I'm no rocket scientist either. My reactor would either use deuterium or hydrogen, according to the reactions previously described here:-
D + D -> He4 (with luck), otherwise D + D -> T + P & D + D -> He3 + n or H + Al27 -> Si28 (with luck), otherwise H + Al ->Mg24 + He4. I would prefer the reactions with Al because it is more readily available than D, but I'll take what I can get. ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
