Hi Eric,

While the concept is interesting, consider that it won't deliver excess energy
unless the original isotope is already radioactive. If it is, then you may have
a way of shortening the half life. How are you contemplating going about it?
(Plenty of radioactive substances around that many people would be only to happy
to pay you to take away. ;)

Re: [Vo]:Burger robots to replace burger flippers

[Che]

I've already explained here that further capitalist technological
development -- including that of any 'OU' & 'Cold Fusion' discoveries -- is
incompatible with the democratic and healthy further development of Human
society (howevermuch capitalism, in the Past, freed Humanity from the
clutches of feudal and pre-feudal obscurantism and squalor). However, all I
really ever get in response on this e-list is the usual know-nothing,
knee-jerk anti-communist bilgewater... So of course, the actual logic of
capital accumulation remains essentially unexamined by most of you (as is
the intention of some, here); and this innate, scientifically-examinable,
historically-determined, social-economic development has remained a closed
book to most of you your ENTIRE lives: because you have uncritically
accepted a certain political-economic mental conditioning as being good,
honest coin. Which it AIN'T.

Short answer: the capitalist development of technology essentially ENSLAVES
the working-class: by its very logic, in its very essence. The
socialist/communist development of the EXACT SAME technology OTOH, will do
the EXACT OPPOSITE (once we are freed of World-wide capitalist sabotage):
it will in fact FREE Humanity, forever, from the clutches of class
exploitation.

QED


You want your 'Star Trek' Future..? Embrace Socialism -- or likely surely
die in the latest, up-coming periodic capitalist conflagration, which will
be called 'WWIII' (By somebody... Somewhere... Sometime... if not us.)

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

[Eric Walker]

Hi,

There are a few people (e.g., Robin) who may be able to comment on this
possibility:

I have wondered about the following possibility for fission under
asymmetric electron screening:  Consider a moderate to heavy nucleus. In
heavy nuclei, the balance between the Coulomb force and the residual
nuclear force is a very delicate one. The sensitivity of this balance can
be seen in the case of alpha emission in oblong deformed nuclei, where
alpha particles are more likely to be emitted at the poles of the nucleus,
where the Coulomb barrier is thinner, than at the waste. I propose that if
you could get nontrivial asymmetric electron screening for any amount of
time, e.g., a gradient of electron density in which the nucleus momentarily
resides, the tidal forces caused by the differential balance of nuclear and
Coulomb forces on either side of the nucleus would cause the it to become
unstable and liable to fission.

Not sure how plausible this idea is, but it's an interesting one to think
about.

Eric

Ah yes, but there is a small downside to “cost efficient” and “reliable” – 

Here is the “iMom”, possibly the successor to Alexa, coming to Amazon real soon 
… once a few bugs get worked out.
