Helium 4 Generator

plato said:In terms of molecular physics, liquid deuterium boils at about -250 deg. C and nickel melts at more than 1200 deg. C (from memory, rounded off).

Wouldn't this be a really sizeable problem with a deuterium pressure rise by the heat?

The illustrations posted are not up to scale. The sphere is much smaller than depicted.   With a proper power supply and large water vessel this should not be an issue. If the LENR data is correct, nuclear material may form on the surface. I expect the material to recirculate within the sphere due to its molten state and rotation. In addition, resulting gases are captured and measured with spectral analysis .

I was going to comment on the shape of the coil: gravity would allow the sphere to fall through the coils, right?

What 'nuclear material' is that?

That might be better, as long as circulation is sufficient to remove boiling deuterium and still allow the sphere to remain inside the coil.

And, what would cause the sphere to rotate?

sounds pretty dangerous, becareful of spauling effects and or the pressure that could rupture the container, if there is any air at all in the container you could have a small combustion type explosion that could cascade into a serious explosion if not contained right.

just be safe if you are going to do research into this area. we can't learn anything if you get killed.

Liquid nickel might react with air/oxygen dissolved in cold deuterium, but what effect would hot nickel have in reacting with deuterium to produce nickel deuteride?
(Synonymous with nuclear Lithium Deuteride---LiD?)

I think the nickel deuteride will be very similar in chemical properties as Nickel Hydride, the energy reaction will depend on how fast the deuterium is introduced, I really have doubts that any fusion reaction will take place to produce 4He, deuterium is a stable isotope and requires about 2 million atmospheres to obtain a fusion reaction.

I really don't see how molten Nickel will react on a nuclear level with deuterium.

I would still like to see some results in a lab with the proper safety equipment
in place.
