Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

[AbbaRue]

The beginning of this thread mentioned 3 types of setups.
Has anyone been experimenting with the second phenomenon?
If so where is the thread for it?
Sounds like it would be even easier to duplicate than the carbon rod setup.

May I ask one modest question:
Fusion of carbon takes place in high mass stars where core temperatures exceed 600 million degrees K. Carbon may fuse with itself or with other preexisting nuclei in a series of reactions leading to the build-up of heavier and heavier elements ...
How you can do it just using "single circuit"?
with due respect,

In an earlier post I reported that I had failed to repeat Naudin's VSG results which I suspected was due to the slow turn-on time of the thyristor switch.
I have now succeeded to some extent in repeating Naudin's results using pure carbon and thoriated tungsten using a thyristor switch to discharge the capacitors through the carbon-tungsten combination.
Starting with the idea that perhaps the slow thyristor turn-on was the problem, I put a saturable inductor in series with the leads to the carbon-thoriated tungsten. The saturable inductor is simply a ferrite ring with the lead wire wrapped once round it. Its function is to reduce the rate of rise of current until the thyristor has turned on (V/L=di/dt). When the current reaches roughly about 30 amps the inductor ferrite saturates and its inductance disappears from the circuit until the current drops below 30 amps. Addition of the saturable inductor has unforseen consequences as we shall see.
The carbon-thoriated tungsten rod is in the centre of a 400 turn toroidal current transformer with a 10 ohm load, similar to Naudin's set up. A coil of wire is wrapped around the carbon rod and supplied with 12 volts giving a weak field of about 15 gauss. The coil end is close to the junction with the tungsten.

The 15 gauss coil is energised with a 12 volt battery, the thyristor is triggered applying 130 volt from 0.008 F capacitors through saturable inductor and the carbon thoriated tungsten junction, the resulting waveform produced by the current tranfromer is stored.

The sequence is repeated with the polarity of the 15 gauss coil reversed and again the waveform produced by the current transformer is stored.

The resultant two stored wavefroms are superimposed as shown  in the attached Jpeg.

You will notice two minor humps at different positions on the two wavefroms. These humps are caused by the saturable inductor going out of saturation and dumping its stored energy. The only thing that has caused the displacement of position is the direction of the 25 gauss magnetic field in the carbon.
Examine the left hand hump, it goes out of saturation at about 7 volts ( there is a x10 multiplier factor from the oscilloscope probe) The current transformer has a 10 ohm load and a 400:1 turns ratio so the current in it is (7/10) *400 = 280 amps approximately, but we know it has a  saturation threshold of about 30 amps (due to the BH loop) in the reverse direction. This means that as far as the ferrite is concerned a REVERSE current of 280+30 = 310 amps is flowing offsetting the current from the capacitor. This reverse current must be coming from the carbon-thoriated tungsten sending a current in reverse to the capacitor current effectively cancelling it.
The  exact opposite happens if the magnetic field in the carbon is reversed as seen on the right hand hump.
So the direction of a magnetic field of 15 gauss can control the direction of a formation 310 amp current in the carbon!

The area under the two curves is charge (coulombs). If you separate the two curves and print them out on the same piece of paper, carefully cut out the curves along the time axis and their profile then weigh them you will find the area under the curve (coulombs of charge) is 30% different. There is 30% more charge with the magnetisation on the carbon rod one way compared to the other.

Just a question .....  How do we go about protecting ourselves from EMP? It really seems like Iran may cause U.S.A. a problem or anyone who may be like us. What can I do to protect my family and electronics from EMP's?
Has anyone really thought about it ?

I would do my laptop  and my credit cart  into the microwave oven. It seems to be a save place.
Ones i put my cellphone inside to test the MW oven against leakage. I was surprised.
The cellphone was not able to receive any signal.

About Iran.
1) They do not have the transport rockets for such a distance
2) They do not have plans to attac USA (i never read about such plans,but read very offen,that israel or USA are planing to
do a preventive strike)
3) As i know, they do not have nuclear warheads. So whats the hype about?

Hi Mike,

Very interesting result!

My initial thought was that the saturation behaviour of your series inductor could have somehow been affected by flux leaking from your 25gauss carbon rod field, but this wouldn't account for the difference in curve areas (charge). I'll say it again: very interesting result!
