Fission of the actinides always produces some neutrons anyway.

There is probably enough U & Th in the oceans to keep us going for millions
(billions?) of years. The Japanese have already developed an (expensive) method
of extracting the U, but not so expensive as to make it unfeasible.

If it works, then you may not have to worry about radioactive daughters anyway.

The things I like about the idea:

- The process would not involve neutrons.
- There might be the potential for fission in stable (in contrast to
radioactive) heavy isotopes, and so more fuel.
- Without knowing much about the feasibility of the process at this time,
if it proved to be really effective, you might be able to fission medium
mass isotopes, in contrast to heavy isotopes.  The daughters would lie
closer to the line of stability and hence be less radioactive or not
radioactive.

[Vo]:A LENR based time machine?

[Axil Axil]

A hypothetical particle with complex rest mass would always travel faster
than the speed of light. Such particles are called tachyons. There is a
strong chance that LENR is based on analog tachyons via metallic hydrogen
nanoparticles.



[image: Inline image 1]



If the rest mass  m is Complex this implies that the denominator is Complex
because the total energy is observable and thus must be real. Therefore,
the quantity under the square root must be negative, which can only happen
if v is greater than c. As noted by Gregory Benford et al., special
relativity implies that tachyons, if they existed, could be used to
communicate backwards in time (see tachyonic antitelephone). Because time
travel is considered to be unphysical, tachyons are believed by physicists
either not to exist, or else to be incapable of interacting with normal
matter.



*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyonic_antitelephone
*



In quantum field theory, complex mass would induce tachyon condensation.



We know that tachyon condensation exists as demonstrated in Leif Holmlid's
experiments where metallic hydrogen produces mesons. If Holmlid is
producing mesons, it may be possible using LENR to produce a time machine.

I say yes. I think in 10 or 20 years nearly every employee at every
restaurant will be replaced with a robot. In Japan automated sushi
restaurants are becoming popular. One of them opened in Atlanta recently.
Here is the web site and a short video advertisement showing how it works:

http://kulausa.com/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWb8SSOTms8=59s

There is more automation here than the video shows. You do not see the
machines that make the rice and form it into sushi, something which until
now required a skilled sushi chef. (Supposedly, it did.)

Here is a British video showing more of the automation at this restaurant
chain:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yICVmyySHmE

I am not a fan of sushi, but this place is fun and I thought the (non-fish)
sushi was pretty good. My daughter says it is meh.

ANYWAY . . .

I find the video of the burger flipping robot thought-provoking. Here are
some of the thoughts it provokes:

This hardware is custom-designed to flip hamburgers, coupled with what I
assume is a general-purpose, vision-enabled robot, probably about as
powerful as the Baxter robot.

A person worried about the future of employment might feel sanguine looking
at this because it seems like it is a custom solution for one application.
You would have to design another robot to lay out the buns the way the
human worker does in this video. You would have to design yet another robot
to crack eggs, and another to make salad. It seems every job will require
specialized hardware and perhaps specialized robotics and software. You
might think that it would take a long time to make all the robots we need
to run a restaurant, not to mention all the robots we need to do housework,
stock grocery store shelves, or do carpentry.

I don't think so. I predict faster progress for two reasons. First, many
programmers and other technical experts will gain experience applying
general-purpose robots and they will soon learn how to apply them more
quickly. They will be more of these people. They will start their own
companies, branching out into new applications. They will train others, who
will train others. Second, the technology will become more general-purpose,
and less custom-designed. Even the parts which are custom-designed will be
easier to design. Once you know how to flip hamburgers, you can flip other
objects, or form pancakes, or wash lettuce.

The situation reminds me of software in the 1970s. In the 1960s, every
company had custom-designed accounting software made specifically for that
company, often in-house. In the 1970s specialized software firms began
offering packaged accounting software that could be customized for various
industry segments.

In the 1980s general-purpose tools  and database tools became available
that made it easier to write accounting programs. Computer memory and disks
expanded by orders of magnitude. Extremely powerful accounting program such
as Peachtree software became available. This was suitable for nearly all
small businesses, and it reduced the need for industry sector specific
solutions. Accounting software for large companies is now offered by a
small number of large vendors such as Oracle and SAP:

http://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/

Few companies develop accounting programs in-house.

The other reason I predict faster progress is because people are developing
self-driving cars, which is one of the most difficult applications.
Tremendous progress has been made in this. Much more than I predicted a few
years ago. This is one of the most difficult jobs that can be done by a
robot. If it is done wrong, people will be killed and tremendous
liabilities will be incurred. It seems odd that corporations would start
with such a dangerous and critical application. You might think they would
start by making robots that fold sheets and flip hamburgers, or do other
jobs that cannot accidentally kill someone. They are concentrating on
self-driving cars because the market is gigantic, the potential profits are
gigantic, and the penalty for getting left behind by competition and rapid
bankruptcy.

There is no longer any question that the technology works and it is safer
than human-driven cars. All automakers are frantically developing this
because if they do not they will not survive another 20 years.

My guess is that once you develop robots that can drive safely, developing
robots to crack eggs or fold sheets will be easy in comparison. A whole
generation of robotic engineers and programmers will cut their teeth
learning how to make self-driving cars. They will soon be making other
things. This is similar to what happened when people developed the MIT
whirlwind project, Princeton's AIS computer, the IBM stretch

Hi,

1) Maybe get the electrons to help instead of considering them a hindrance, as
Eric suggested?
2) If that isn't workable, then create a high temperature plasma, where some of
the electrons are stripped off making the job easier?

Hi Eric,

I don't think there is a lot to be gained from finding an additional means of
bringing about fission. We already have a quite effective way of doing that.
However it could be very useful as a means of remediating nuclear waste.
Perhaps it could be combined with NMR/MRI technology to distend the nucleus with
centrifugal force by spinning it, and an additional external electric field
gradient?

Re: [Vo]:Fission of heavy nuclei under assymetric electron screening?

[Axil Axil]

Fission in LENR is caused by muons. If Ed Storms would invest in a muon
detector, then he would see that this assertion is true.

The Chernobyl disaster was caused in part by an electric explosion in water
as the source of added fission induced by muon emissions from the electric
exposition.

See:

On the possible physical mechanism of Chernobyl catastrophe and the
unsoundness of official conclusion
A.A. Rukhadze,* L.I. Urutskojev,** D.V. Filippov**

https://arxiv.org/ftp/nucl-ex/papers/0304/0304024.pdf

"Apart from the neutron mechanism, other mechanisms of uranium fission are
also known to exist, for example, fission induced by slow muons [24]. . The
mechanism of uranium fission under the action of magnetic monopoles has
been considered theoretically [25]. It was suggested [25] that the
monopole-nuclear interaction is so strong that a monopole that comes close
to a nucleus can induce 238U fission."

 L.I. Urutskojev and D.V. Filippov latter verified this assertion in
exploding titanium foil experiments that produced fission in uranium at a
distance from the electric arc explosion.

As we now know through the work of Ken Shoulders and G. Egely, dusty plasma
produces LENR activated nanoparticles and polaritons. The polaritons
generate  the monopole magnetic field lines that induce muon production.

RE: [Vo]:Fission of heavy nuclei under assymetric electron screening?

[bobcook39...@hotmail.com]

IMHO strong magnetic fields varying at a given resonant   frequency  (like in a 
laser or gaser) have a good chance of causing a metastable isomer that  
fissions—gives up potential energy to kinetic energy of two or more new 
particles which may be unstable themselves.

This method of radioactive waste management is one of 7 or8 options listed in 
the DOE’s EIS for high level waste management at Hanford, issued in the late 
1970’s.  It was considered impractical since there was no open (not dark) 
laser/gaser technology available to produce the resonant magnetic/electric 
fields of sufficient intensity to penetrate the atomic electronic structure.
