Since about 10% of natural Mg is 25Mg, if the Mg atom exists in an octahedral lattice with 6 nearest neighbors, then for any given 25Mg atom, there is a 90% chance that any given nearest neighbor will not be 25Mg. The chance that all 6 will not be 25Mg is 0.9^6 = 53%. Thus the chances that at least one of the nearest neighbors will be another 25Mg is about 47%. That means that if the neutron hopping process works, it should be able to convert about half the 25Mg in natural magnesium without any isotope enrichment being used. That means that if you want to experiment with the process, you can just use ordinary Magnesium. Not an ideal solution in the long run, but if definitely makes experimenting to determine feasibility easier. Even if my math is wrong, it won't be so far off as to make the use of ordinary Magnesium impossible for experimentation. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html

For instance, imagine a magnetic solenoid in which a thin tube of magnesium isotope is held at cryogenic temperatures which is oscillated at the NMR resonance, which would be about 6 MHz for a magnetic field strength of 2.3 Tesla. One application would be as a thruster for aerospace. Hot ions are ejected from both ends of the tube when it is resonant along the axis of the solenoid. One vector can provide thrust and the other converts the ions to electricity to provide the resonance and cooling.

Re: [Vo]:Magnetic magnesium
A neuron could be produced by proton fusion followed by a pion based conversion of the proton to a neutron. The proton fusion would come from muon catalyzed protium fusion with 24Mg then a pion conversion of the proton to a neutron. There seems to be a rule in LENR that produces reactions with even isotopes. Odd isotopes are left alone. Magnetic energy is wasted in exciting odd isotopes with nonzero spin thereby producing RF. In this way, magnetism is degraded to RF as in NMR applications producing RF.

[Vo]:Magnetic magnesium
This post is about an important LENR candidate - and is meant to serve as a place-marker for future additions. It concerns the isotope of magnesium 25Mg, which is 10% of natural, called "magnetic magnesium" because of its nuclear spin and NMR properties. This isotope has come up before but AFAIK, no one is working with it now. The remainder of elemental magnesium, which is ~90% (24Mg and 26Mg) has zero nuclear spin or magnetic moment, making 25Mg easy to enrich from the chloride salt. 25Mg has high spin (5/2) and magnetic moment, which are of interest in biology, since magnesium is necessary for life. In the event that Hagelstein and W-L are accurate about "neutron hopping" this isotope becomes not only relevant but possibly a singularity in being the only practical isotope which can work because of its magnetic properties and ease of enrichment. Hagelstein has described a neutron tunneling reaction where neutrons seem to "hop" between nuclei, but always remain in a semi-bound state. Thus they are never free neutrons, and do not activate the surroundings. The neutron itself has a magnetic moment which is about twice that of 25Mg and this feature would be required for "magnetic tunneling" which is an added twist, so to speak, to the predecessor theories. Note: The influence of the neutron's magnetic moment is only apparent for for slow neutrons. Since the magnetic moment of the orbiting electron is 1000 times larger than that of a neutron, this kind of "hopping" probably only works in a very strong magnetic field alignment with a cold reactant. Thus the engineering problem. Back in 2014 - Robin posted on the energy aspects of this reaction, in the context of Hagelstein tunneling: 25Mg + 25Mg => 26Mg + 24Mg + 3.763 MeV "Furthermore the energy is divided over two nuclei of almost equal mass, hence each gets about half (1.9 MeV), so this could be a very clean reaction." These hot ions would limit the continuity of the system if thermalized locally. The practical problem is to capture the energy elsewhere and avoid the heat locally. This could be accomplished with a thin tube of 25Mg in a magnetic solenoid where the ions are immediately trapped in an axial field and ported away from the reactant. The magnetic aspect of the single magnesium isotope in neutron hopping was overlooked before now. However, it could be the most important detail for LENR since it provides a binding coupling which encourages neutron tunneling between larger nuclei. This will necessitate some revision of the underlying theory, perhaps, and can be called "magnetic tunneling" but it fits in with other emerging details about "magnetic magnesium". Fortunately magnesium is the fourth most common element on earth and can be removed from sea water as an a ion which can be enriched at the same time it is being removed. The cost should be reasonable (for an enriched isotope), but natural magnesium probably will not work since the magnetic proportion is too small. More on this topic later.
