Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

There is some sort of radiation coming out of Rossi's Mouse reactor that stimulates the unpowered Cat reactors. Maybe pions and muons... how can we tell now that MDMP has a reactor that maybe is functional at a Mouse level COP of 1.2 On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 12:05 AM, Jones Beene

RE: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

Bob, Isn’t the reality check that eliminating a cosmic ray contribution means the expected gamma counts are going to be too low to impress anyone? However, I am very glad you are going to the trouble – if you also test for radiation (all types) with and without the enclosure, and then

Re: [Vo]:Re: Bremsstrahlung radiation

You can get a idea about that by considering how much power is required to sinter a pile of 5 micron nickel particles that were welded together by a rare earth doped tungsten rod and a sintered 100 micron nickel particle was produced. Some of that rod vaporized and coated the surface of the 100

RE: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

Bob, our solution to the cosmic spallation creating neutrons from lead was to move the lead far away… no lead no neutrons… I shared that story only to tell how easy it is to fuss about small signals… sometimes the signals are ‘relatively’ large for the instrument but meaninglessly tiny for you

Re: [Vo]:Heating of iron rod at proximity of spinning magnet

Iron / steel has much higher resistance than copper (so-called resistance wire for domestic heating elements is usually steel). Resistance heating due to eddy currents is the only source of heat in induction; domain flips are fueled by ambient phonon exchanges (the principle exploit in MCE

Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

Do you have a reference on this? Otherwise, a lead cave would not be useful - it is there to protect the sensor from the cosmic rays. My understanding is that the cosmic rays produce the neutrons by spallation. If the neutrons are absorbed in the lead, they will likely cause isotopic shift

Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

If the spectrum from the MFMP experiment really does come from the reactor, and if MFMP reactor could run for 32 days without lead shielding would one have to sit right next to it for the entire time for it to be harmful? Harry On Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 6:42 PM, Bob Higgins

RE: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

From: Bob Higgins * Jones, the moral of the story is that the large amount of lead (and it probably took a whole lot for the HPGe detector) converted some of the cosmic rays into a small neutron flux. Bob, as the thesis clearly states – the neutrons then are absorbed by the lead,

Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

Well, this is partly true. Only charged particles will come to rest quickly and generate Bremsstrahlung. Protons, because they are so heavy compared to an electron, must be 1800x the energy of the electron to have the same initial velocity. Then the heavier proton will basically decelerate 1800

[Vo]:Re: Bremsstrahlung radiation

Hi Harry: The radiation level detected in the MFMP Reactor is very low. The Geiger Counter on the setup apparently did not detect it. The current calc/estimate shows the dosage was comparable (in some ways) to way less than a panoramic dental X-ray, anywhere over a total dosage period of

RE: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

A much better test might be to add a more efficient 'crazy muon' receptor occluding perhaps half of the detector. Say a foil of silver or gadolinium. With such material the count rate might go up. How many cm away was the NaI from the source? Of course this presumes the signal can be

RE: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

The number of nuclear events/radiations in the recent MFMP test is very very tiny, perhaps representing 1 million events in total , ??. Considering DD fusion as an example to make a single watt/joule of output requires e12 events it is no wonder that this signal is hard to observe. The

Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

The sensors were placed relatively far away, and the total "dose" was low. For the electronic rate meters, they did not report what they detected, simply that it was below the alarm level that they had set (set where?). There was no spectrometry. On Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 4:12 PM, H LV

In the Lugano test dosimeters were used to check for gamma/xray emissions at more than 50 cm from the reactor. (see Appendix 1) http://amsacta.unibo.it/4084/1/LuganoReportSubmit.pdf I don't understand all the jargon but over the 32 day duration test it looks like the dosimeters didn't record

OR, the materials in the stack of his flat plate reactor include a thermal resistance material. It doesn't have to be an air gap to provide the thermal resistance that would allow the fuel to be at a different temperature than the molten lead. On Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 1:09 PM, David Roberson

Re: [Vo]:Bremsstrahlung radiation

Bob made an interesting video but I believe that his thoughts about melted lead surrounding the active cells are incorrect. It is much more likely that these core cells are operating at a very high external temperature of over 1000 C and radiation to a low temperature surface is the main
