NUCLEAR COLD FUSION IDEA

NUCLEAR FUSION IDEA  2010-01-07

ERROR OF THE STANDARD APPROACH

IN THE STANDARD IDEA OF THERMO  NUCLEAR FUSION RATHER THAN NUCLEAR FISSION  TWO PROTONS ARE PUSHED TOGETHER WHICH CAUSES ONE PROTON TO SPLIT BECOMING A NEUTRON AND A POSITRON.

THE POSITRON ANTIMATTER THEN MEETS AN ELECTRON AND THEY DESTROY EACH OTHER YIELDING ENERGY.

THIS METHOD REQUIRES A LOT OF ENERGY YET THE RESULTING OUTPUT HAS BEEN LAUGHINGLY DESCRIBED AS PRODUCING ENOUGH ENERGY TO HEAT A SINGLE  LIGHT BULB.

A HUGE TEMPERATURE IS REQUIRED TO HEAT THE ATOMS  SUFFICIENTLY TO STRIP THEM TO BARE PROTONS AND SECONDLY TO FUSE THEM TOGETHER.

AS A COLLABERATIVE PROJECT INVOLVING MANY NATIONS ITER  IS A WORTHY ENTERPRISE BUT AS A FUTURE SOURCE OF ENERGY THE VENTURE IS DOOMED  AND HAS YET TO DELIVER THE GOODS.

WHY????

POSSIBLY….

IF THE POSITRON IS THE ANTIMATTER COUNTERPART OF THE ELECTRON  IT SHOULD YIELD ZERO ENERGY WHEN IT COMBINES WITH THE ELECTRON.

IF THE PROTON IS LOSING NEGATIVE MASS ENERGY TO BECOME A MORE MASSIVE NEUTRON THEN IT NEEDS TO LOSE NOT ONE BUT THREE ANTI ELECTRON MASSES OF ENERGY.

IF THE PROTON IS SPLITTING TO BECOME A NEUTRON THEN IT IS ESSENTIALLY A KIND OF DECAY WHICH MEANS IT SHOULD HAPPEN FAR MORE EASILY AND FREQUENTLY AND WITHOUT SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE PROTON SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS SPLITTING BUT RATHER AS ABSORBING SOMETHING TO BECOME A NEUTRON.

THIS PROPERLY REFLECTS THE RARITY OF THE EVENT.
