Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

@UncleFester,

I think I may also have the wrong kind of carbon, and it came from a battery as well.

What is the approximate resistance of your rod?  Mine is less than 0.2 ohms.

@K4ZEP,

For my setup I simply bought a solid aluminium rod from Home Depot and drilled out a hole ever so slightly larger than the rod.  I also drilled and tapped a couple holes in the side for securing the rod and one hole in the end for a terminal--this gave me a junction resistance far less than 0.1 ohms.

Thanks!

Eldarion,

Mine also was less that .1 ohm, unable to measure.   Uncle fester says his is about 1.8 ohms.  That is why I have ordered new rods from source suggested by him.

Good idea on the termination, will do, probably in brass.

Must have lots of impurities in it. Probably Ti and other minerals. Even my 1/2" rod was .8 ohm, so you guys need different rod I think. Both rods I have claim to be 99.95 percent pure, but there are lesser grades that have up to 200ppm of other minerals. I will show you what I did for connecting to the carbon. I machined 5/8" aluminum rod into a sleeve that has set screws on each end and one end is thread with 5/16-18 for a bolt to bolt the #6 welding cable (600V max on insulation) to the ends.

Lemme see if I can make a quick video to show some of the details.

UncleFester,

Thanks for the video! There are more people working on this then maybe realized. Every little bit of practical info helps. The theory is a good and sound theory worth exploration and replication. But as Ben has pointed out, the difficulty is in getting the minimum required amount of energy, to cause a reaction, into the rod. The rod itself and it's low resistance poses the first problem. This is why different types of rods with different resistances will change the result.

The link to your video didn't work for me, so I am posting the URL. I hope you don't mind.

I am still having a problem with the 109 joule requirement for this reason:
Assume a 60Hz output.  This will require the capacitors to dump 109 joules into the carbon rod each second if I understand correctly.  This works out to 6540Kw going in to the carbon rod.

Am I missing something here?  Does this particular joule requirement only hold for single pulse mode, and maybe what is meant is actually 109 watts minimum into the rod?

UncleFester, with your old selfrunner, how many watts would you guess you were dumping through the rod?

I notice we independently came up with the exact same carbon rod electrodes.
