Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

@scraven

i think we are trying this out as well (aluminum oxide), though it's not as simple as we thought initially.  however, you can get COP>1 with just a simple toroid collector.

@zerotensor, aleks

my understand is that the output (collected via toroid through induced beta) are sine waves, AC.

@All
If you can't source aluminium, I have read that concrete is a good shield for beta:

I will be using a hollow concrete building block with 30mm walls for the reaction chamber during experimentation

In your picture, turn both magnets 90degrees so they are on the 'sides' of the carbon rod .   Think 'hot dog' where the pieces of bread are the magnets and the hot dog is the carbon rod.    That is our setup, along with either AC or DC discharges into the rod at 100-300V. Both AC and DC work. Immense beta electrons are produced which greatly exceed input energy. We are in the process of trying to increase the output amperage which is collected by the surrounding toroidal coil (currently we have only gotten max 500V, 250mA output from 6V, 500mA input) .  You do the numbers on the COP. 

This is why I have asked for help with betavoltaics because I know we are probably wasting 99% of the available energy we are producing.

PS remember that 6V input is multiplied before it is discharged into the rod.  this system will not operate at low voltage.  you must be well above 100 volts.

@Feynman
Trying to conceptualize your description and the drawing by Stefan and admit having a bit of a problem. So the magnets rather than being in the ends of the carbon rod are parallel to the rod at its (center?) and an inductor rather than a torus, so is the inductor at one end or the other as opposed to being int the center of the rod with the magnets? Is the field from the magnets passing through the pickup coil?

Thank you so much for your response. I understand that Dr. Stiffler is willing to dedicate our lab to this work if we can get a little better handle on the structure. I have gone back in the thread and I can not yet understand the construction.

Thanks so much and we will be watching as we have equipment and expertise in this area.

Hello Dr. Simon .   We appreciate your interest and support.   The more people involved in replications and research, the better.  Here is my first drawing, which does not show the collector, but simply shows the mechanism for generating the beta rays.



You may try a simple experiment, and notice you will generate very little beta without the permanent magnets. They are absolutely critical, and we believe must be aligning a nuclear component in the carbon -- permitting L orbital collapse and subsequent proton-electron fusion followed by weak beta decay from Boron-12 (half life 20ms) back to Carbon-12.   In any case, it is prefereable to use magnets with considerable field strength (3000 gauss or higher).  We are using N45s and N50 neodyniums depending on the setup.

The carbon rod is 5" long by 1/2" in diameter and is of high purity.  The neo magnets are approx 2" x 2" x 0.5"  although I am not certain of that exact dimension, it is in the ball park.  They are N50s in the described setup.  The voltage source is a 6V battery into an inverter stepped up to 300V for AC discharge into the carbon rod.

A collector toroid (think: toroidal transformer) surrounds the entire setup which is used to collect the induced beta rays.  I will see if I can make a picture of this soon.

...this system will not operate at low voltage.  you must be well above 100 volts.

This just can not be true. At least I hope it is not. It would dramatically decrease the application possibilities. All electrical systems and components must be scalable. What are factors that must be changed when scaling down or up the VSG?
I think that one key factor could be the current density in the rod and in the spark gap. In the papers it vas mentioned that the Tokamak reactor vas destroyed with only 5V and 300A. So this must be scalable. And my capacitors can not store the 386J energy that J Naudins VSG4.1 has, that means that the current density in the Th/W rod is 13 J/mm2. I will have to hassle with smaller rod diameters and smaller power. You can also think this with A/mm2 if you like. J/mm2 is not very practical
