Edward L Moses and The Fusion Machine He Hopes to Build ..The above (about reversing beta radioactivity to lighten up heavy particles by injecting electrons to convert heavy particles to lighter less radioactive clean hydrogen) seems like a plan by Edward I..Moses of the NIF. Moses' plan was to bombard heavy atoms of atomic reactors with neutrons to both make lighter atoms and also to make lots of energy. Believe it or not 95 percent of the uranium of power of reactors is unused, waste uranium (as in this month's issue of Scientific American Feb 2010, the article I got these comments from and base my own improvements here for you, the roof's got moss gathering no gold stones or starstones of the stellerator yet!). Edward C. Morse a professor of nuclear engineering at The University of CA Berkeley says the problem with using neutron pellets of the fuel have to be exactly round and extremely well machined to make them implode inward just right. Any small imperfection on these bits of power thus makes the cost the actualy making them a million dollars apiece, according to others than Moses who make the pellets in their own machines like The Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester. And fusing them would take 90,000 of these a day to win more than is lost by this method because of economies of scale.

Another problem with common fusion is that while the deuterium for the fuel will be really cheap, the tritium is much less of a luxury to find. An ordinary atomic power plant makes just two or three kilograms of it a year at $80 to $120 million a kilogram while a fusion reactor would use about a kilogram of tritium a week. “The fusion needs are way, way beyond what fission can supply” says Mohamed Abdou, director of fusion science and Technology center at the University of California, Los Angeles.

It’s believed this might be gotten around by using a large "pillow" of shielding and a complex chain of what seems to be “more and more unwieldy” reactions in the pillow to use the impacting neutrons to make the tritium and just hope after many complex combinations of the fuel and hope it turns out right as far as we may foresee, and so on and so on.... A Cup A Starbucks may be Cheaper!

Another problem with fusion reactors it about how the neutrons will cause all materials of the machine to erode and wear out by radioactivity and need replacement..

All these problems might be solved by using my above plan, reversed B radioactivity;


If electrons instead of neutrons are used to bombard the otherwise radiant heavy atoms, the implosion would be guided inward by the magnetic field of the particles. So instead of using proton bombardment the atoms won't have to make a perfect sphere to fuse.

Reversing B Radioactivity may solve the problem of not enough tritium because all that would be used would be the outer electromagnetism to make the B Radioactivity., the sensor, the MRI, and the “electron beam” or equivalent. While no doubt this may be a good source of power and reducing leftover metabolites it's not as good as fusion may be for power, and I have other plans for a cheap fusion machine that seems just as worthwhile and may solve all the fusion problems by a simple modular machine as I say here on this site I thought you may like a look at what I believe may by the mainstream eventually be considered to be the great physics I'm involved with here in 2010. This site is indeed at the top of the search and I'm constantly finding and inventing new ideas, I've already painted 100's of pictures, and am the author of my site of about 1000 pages, Encyclopedia Computoria. I'm also a musician, a sculptor, a linguist, a poet, and my comedy site Comic Cultural Links, like my music site has been at the top of the search with millions of memos since before cosine.

The common standard solution to make slow the heavy particles all fusion causes or by the NIF method of fission fusion leftovers would be by impact with nuclei, thus the pillow. This problem by the B radioacivity method would be solved because a strong reaction is not used. It’s a slower reaction, but with a better plan than Moses' it may reduce radioactivity and of worth though not as much as an implosion and explosion like fusion for energy, even so the power gained here may be great. Instead of sending in high energy heavy particles that are unstable, sending in just electrons and using the ambient solar neutrino flux to change the nuclear protons to outward flung zones would be more reliable (the solar radiation neutrino flux has recently been linked to radioactivity rates at night in the lab, using the same effect to sense CME (flare) events hours before they reach us by the neutrinos at the speed of light.). While the energy release wouldn't by the level of fusion, it would be a new source of great cheap power by the large binding energy released that holds the nucleus. In a way this would be like releasing the molecular bonds of a molecular gyroscope. But the neutrons released would be radioactive and decay to protons and neutrons in a few minutes, and these could be combined to hydrogen atoms, and used as a source of power. The radiation released would be by the release of much stronger nuclear binding forces, and mostly collected by the light box (see below) as well as the hydrogen for more energy.


A LIGHT BOX

A way to hold even higher energy high speed radiation may be my innovation of a light box, a box or cylinder with the walls made of laser beams in standing waves, this may be a much better way to hold heavy radiation like for fusion reactors, I'm currently working on what I call my improved Inertial Focus Fusion (IFF) design, and this method to hold the metabolites. This may be a more reliable and efficient way to hold metabolites because standing waves don't radiate, or like solitons won't lose so much energy, especially at 1.8 gev, the mass of the proton, the only stable heavy particle. (In truth the use of laser boxes or cylinders to hold plasma I believe may make it so we can create fusion directly by holding the plasma in the box by perhaps mechanically moving the lasers inward. Having no electric charge, the light box would have more stability and reduced eddy currents even while exerting much the same pressure at higher energy as a magnetic field. If the beam is at 1.8 gev it may be be like a solid wall of mostly nonradioactive protons. A standing wave doesn't take as much energy to maintain as usual laser beams, and they could be made to move in the opposite direction toward the neutrons from the far side of the cylinder or box, to gradualy slow them down in time. Even so I have other ideas that seem better because this or plasma fusion to me seems like trying to stop a bullet with gossamer compared to my idea of using the mechanical pressure of atoms themselves.) The walls of standing waves would be thinner on one side of the box allowing in the radiance which would be focused to just one side by the method of my own (read on for more). Once inside the box or cylinder the heavy particles would be held in by the lower speed they got passing through the wall and if still moving fast the far walls would have many layers of the beams to gradually slow and stop the neutrons by way of radiation pressure of the light. After some minutes the neutrons or other particles would be converted to protons and electrons by the usual inner heat (and seperated from them by electric field for more processing) and this would be collected into hydrogen by attraction, and the outward heat even if by the matter waves of QED would be collected by the same wall of light anywhere in the machine shielding was of worth, useful for solving the problem of heat and radioactivity both for fusion machines. At high energies light behaves like a heavy particle and may stop even high speed heavy particles even if they have no charge and without impact with radioactive collisions and no wearing out.

A second layer of steel or other shielding as is known outside the lightbox would be used for the emergency system. These shields wouldn't build up radioactivity if not used all the time, and if it failed somehow, the metal shield would hold the radiation till the machine was safe. To decontaminate the metal if used in plates, each plate would slide in and out and then the method of B radioactivity would be used to cleanse the layers of the shield by first melting them to process the metal. Because the plates are modular the whole plate doesn't have risk of radiation to decontaminate especially with the small amount of decontamination necessary to cleanse from an emergency, not the more radioactive shields of other machines.
