DIY Nuclear Fusion Device
« on: March 08, 2004, 12:26:34 AM »
Yea, i came across an article on the latest results of the imploding bubble fusion device...

Looks like they have produced tritium...

The device is relatively simple consisting of a  clear glass canister about the height of two coffee mugs stacked on top of one another. Inside the canister is a liquid called deuterated acetone (C3 D6 O). The acetone contains a form of hydrogen called deuterium, or heavy hydrogen, which contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. Normal hydrogen contains only one proton in its nucleus.
The researchers expose the clear canister of liquid to pulses of neutrons every five milliseconds, or thousandths of a second, causing tiny cavities to form. At the same time, the liquid is bombarded with a specific frequency of ultrasound, which causes the cavities to form into bubbles that are about 60 nanometres (billionths of a meter) in diameter. The bubbles then expand to a much larger size, about 6,000 microns, or millionths of a meter – large enough to be seen with the unaided eye.

These bubbles implode.

Their contraction causes extreme temperatures and pressures comparable to those found in the interiors of stars.
The temperatures inside the imploding bubbles reach 10 million degrees Celsius and pressures comparable to 1,000 million earth atmospheres at sea level.
At that point, deuterium atoms fuse together, the same way hydrogen atoms fuse in stars, releasing neutrons and energy in the process. The process also releases a type of radiation called gamma rays and a radioactive material called tritium, all of which have been recorded and measured...

Free energy?

Yea, i`m aware that it is old science, and in chemistry it is almost used in a sort of `catalytic` way, (Er, without the catalyst..?..).

I have a feeling that they if they DO get it to work, and produce excess energy, then they would have created the most astonishing machine since the wheel was invented, (just my opinion).

There are also implications that they maybe are `tapping` into the latent vacuum energy that exists in all space... (as seen in the film).
This is basically the infinite energy of space-time that the physicists `renormalize`....

Either way if , `fusion` or `Zero-point-energy` were to be created, then that would be a  major step forwards...

Hum,
There is no proof that you can`t tap into ZPE...
(example: hawking radiation, or the casimer effect)
As in there is no proof that this universe is in the lowest (stable) energy system.
A phase change (like water to ice) may happen at any time.
I would find it very strange if they found out that they could though...

I  agree, it would be interesting to see if these findings are reproduce elsewhere.
The production of `extra` tritium would be a good indicator that it had worked though...
