Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Another big puzzle for me is how do I test the output of this device?
I don't have a digital oscilloscope to freeze the wave form with.
I just have an ordinary oscilloscope and the output pulse could last for only milliseconds.

Take your camera and set it up on a tripod in front of your scope. Start recording and run your tests, then extract your results from the video clip.

Okay, I may have spoken too soon.


We are trying to do the math to calculate the angular momentum of an electron in a Carbon sp3 orbital.  I will post the details as soon as we get it figured out.  Or else if you figure it out first, by all means post.  Basically, the idea is we are trying to figure out how the heck Naudin decided that a gamma ray is what would stop the electron. Our preliminary calculations indicated the expected energy could be in the microwave/infrared band, rather than gamma, but these calculations are very sketchy at the moment.   Full details on the way.

After doing some more research I found out that thorium-232 with a half life of 14billion years,
doesn't give off much radiation, but produces other isotopes that do.
It was found that keeping the rod covered will prevent those isotopes from escaping.
In my test with the radiation detector I discovered that the radiation was given off in bursts, with pauses in between.

As for using tungsten rods with the carbon;
We should be able to just place the rod close to the carbon rod to give it the gamma it needs.
So the tungsten rods will last for billions of years, only a one time investment.
Some welding shops sell tungsten rods one at a time, you may want to check into it.
Here were I live BOC welding supplies sells 1/8 inch rods for about $7 a piece.
I have some 1/16 inch rods too but the 1/8 inch rods give off a lot more radiation.

Does anyone know what the % means that is beside the half life.
And how to use it in determining how much energy the isotope will give off.

At the following website for boron-12  it says: half life: 20.20 MS ( 0.0990 % )
What does the (0.0990 %) stand for?

Another element I found interesting is tin120 zapped to get indium120
Indium-120:
# Spin: 1+
# Half life: 3.08 S ( 2.5974 % )
# Mode of decay: Beta to Sn-120
    * Decay energy: 5.370 MeV

Reason is it has a half life of 3 seconds,
That mean we could tap full power off it for 3 seconds,
Then half that for the next 3 seconds.
What ever full power would be?

Also tin is easy to get a hold of, just use tin solder, and indium is a very safe element too.
Neither one is toxic.

Hello everyone.

Some basic values need to be in place so I will present them as best as I can.
The goal is to provide some parameters upon which one could base the actual planning and building of the "carbonuclear device" (mind my renaming of the device in question). Please find holes in the proposed values and patch them.

1. Carbon:
               Diameter: 6mm ;
               Length:   60mm ;
               Volume: 1,73cm³ ;
               Resistance: 0,18 Ohm ;

2. Toroid for beta-capture:
               Wire diam.: 0,5mm ;
               No. of turns: 300 ;
               Magnetic field: 135 Gauss ;
               Toroids inner diam.: 60 mm (a bit bigger than the carbon rod's diam.) ;

3. Switching FET power calculation:
              Formula: condencer_voltage / carbon_restistance = result_in_Amperes

              Example: 36V / 0.18Ohm = 200 A

4. Energy stored in the capacitor (U in Joules; C in Farads; V in Volts):
             Formula: U = 0,5 * C * V²

             Example: lets freely choose C to be 0,16 and voltage to be 36 (as in previous example) therefore
                           U = 0,5 *  0,16 * 36² = 103,68 Joules

Conclusion.
We have a toroid, a piece of carbon, amount of energy to zap the carbon and an estimate for switching power to avoid burning FET's. Please provide at least 50% more to the estimated 200A. As for the output - I'm not entirely sure the 0,5mm wire is suitable for large currents.

Also required:
1. a mean density of carbon to provide the amount of atoms in relation to the volume of the carbon.
2. an energy requirement for input for this setup to produce the required output based on the atomic efficiency of this reaction (1 atom to Boron out of 100000 carbon atoms). The 100 Joules provided in the example is random.
3. provide magnetic field stats for both, the polarization toroid and the collector toroid.
4. enhance the Naudin schematic found at: http://jlnlabs.online.fr/vsg/vsgv2diag.gif

Suggestion:
1. If beta-radiation can be shielded easily then there is no point in shielding the carbon from the toroid.
2. "what if" the carbon would be flat and round instead of long and round - we're thinking rods and could be thinking more like tablets (more diameter and less length)


Please, do provide more numbers and stats.

What happens when You zap a tin rod with ca 200A ? My point being - if it melts You need some way to keep it in one place.

What if You stuff the tin to a clay pipe? Zap it till the vaporisation point... There should be some type of fuse that is a round pipe with caps on both ends - just waiting for an inventor to stuff it up with a tin rod and then zap it.

How well is the shielding on beta radiation known (here, amongst the thread's readers)? Does the above proposed setup loose the meaning of it all or is it reasonable?
