Well, since I have "reduced Bohr orbitals" on the mind today, and Robin passed on the opportunity ...
... if antimatter is too problematic for the plot (many experts do not believe antimatter will ever be feasible in a weapon either due to containment)... and neutron bombs are too dirty... then: ... it might be feasible (certainly in fiction) to accumulated sufficient amounts of hydrino (deuterino) compounds of deep redundancy. Lithium and boron would be good carriers. Properly done, following an explosion - you would end up with mostly helium ash and lots of gammas. You may have noticed if you follow the UFO scene (I do not but I get google alerts for the hydrino) that recently many of them have been jumping on the "hydrino-power" bandwagon, supposedly for their legitimizing their obsession, Ha! which is kind of hoot in a way ... but the result is that most everyone who enjoys this kind of fiction will probably already have heard of the hydrino technology these days, unlike a few years ago... Since boron-10 and the deuterino would both be nuclear bosons - you could add as a plot element that the weapon only functions when held at a temperature very near to absolute zero - Jones ----- Original Message ---- > From: Kyle Mcallister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Google "neutron bomb". > > > > Regards, > > > > Robin van Spaandonk > > Already know about them, read Cohen's articles and > all.
