Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Sounds like battery carbon rods?

Yes I have taken from a pile coal a zinc bar Dia 8 mm and 57 mm
long and will soon begin experiments.

What we need to do is wrap the godforsaken contraption in photographic paper and send half a dozen pulses through it.

Feynman - got your paper yet?

Also, I am still questioning the toroid arrangement in the "box" photo above.

The "end cap" on each toroid is pressed out of aluminum. The oxide layer on the surface seems to be consistent with aluminum alloys. Steel would not be so shiny at the edges, nor does it form a smooth, matte oxide layer unless heat treated. The color is wrong for heat treated steel.

Blacksmith says: Aluminum.
Blacksmith says: Will forge for food.

the gray boxes to the lower left appear to be industrial rail mount contact relays.

Electrician says: Checking the part numbers... they are GE CL04 contactors:

The larger gray box is a Megatiker MA125, which everyone can read..

Electrician says: thermal circuit breaker.

The green circuit boards epoxied to the top of each toroid (yes, that's epoxy) are uncoated. They appear to be hand-cut from FR-4 single layer PCB. In some shots it appears that there is thru etch of some of the contact pads.

Electrical Engineer says: Handmade boards, cut out on band saw. (note the corners of the boards are not consistently square or clipped)

It is possible they were jobbed out, but they were definitely hand soldered, not machine soldered.

Based on the sources for the magnetic thermal circuit breaker (italian company) I do not doubt this unit was built in spain.

Given the size of the breakers and contactors, I do not doubt that this was designed to handle 60KW or more.

The toroids, I have re-estimated their size at approximately 3-4" around, which changes my opinion of the wire gauge. Notice the 12" floor tiles for scale.

This is not an audio crossover, unless someone is using a speaker system big enough for an entire stadium, and running power from one central box to all of them. Not just power, but amplified full power SIGNAL to all of them.

This is not normal usage in my experience with sound equipment.

It would be nice to know what those two boards on the lower right say. I do not have the image editing software required to do advanced filtering and adjustment. If anyone can get readable text off those boards - they are commercial, with silkscreen over a WHITE PC board. Handmade boards are going to be green or tan (FR4 or Phenolic). Honeywell uses alot of tan colored circuit boards, but so do some Chinese manufacturers i've run into - namely chicago electric.

I am also having a hard time figuring out the electrical connection to the carbon rod. It would make sense to ground the end of the rod to the plate, but I really don't see how a carbon rod is inside each of those toroids, in the same usage as ours.

Like everything I've seen, it's half fishy, half credible.

I know someone that knows the fellow who runs nuenergy.com. We are attempting at this time to contact him and find out what he knows of this Juan fellow.

If need be, we can pay him a visit.

I have friends everywhere.

Oil Brent is $131.7 today... I guess OU researches will see a money waterfall soon, even if they do not give a shit about OU. Economies will surely have to do something or they'll vanish. Existence is priceless.

@allcanadian

Juan says reaction only will begin at around 37V .  As you increase voltage, you require less capacitance. You want your optimum input pulse to be 109-100Joules.

case/capacity (uF)/Voltage
1   1521200   12
2   380300   24
3   87620   50
4   21920   100
5   9740   150
6   2280   311
7   760   540

These numbers are for a 60mm x 6mm carbon rod.

You want your optimum input pulse to be 109-100Joules.

Finally somebody considers Joules per pulse. That's great!
