AFAIK the big neutrino detectors are just that - neutrino detectors (because stars produce neutrinos). >- second there is a cut-off energy in detectors, some about 1.8MeV, some >233keV... are there theoretical reason to imagine that no neutrino will >have enough energy? ..this depends on the type of detector. >- third the usual power of fission reactors is about GW, while LENR >reactors might be about kW if not MW ....why is this a problem? Early PCs were not as powerful as the mainframes of the day, but we use millions of them. In fact, for household use, kW power levels are ideal (10-20 kW). Average power usage over the day is about 1-2 kW, and peak usage on the order of 10 kW. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
