LiH Yes. i want it to explode or fuse. Would that happen if i add cationic hydrogen, such as protonated molecular hydrogen or trihydrogen cation?

I saw that someone had previously posted "Does anyone know the ionic radius of hydride(anion of hydrogen)?." But I was curious about hydrogen anion is it expensive to purchase by the gram? Or how is it collected for research and other purposes? I am trying to learn more about the negative...

Edmund Storms has written about this. Do you have evidence to dispute my contention?

So far it appears researchers have tried to increase the repoducibility or heat output of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions by using lasers, electrical pulse, microwaves but no one has yet thought to use magnetic fields created by "Bitter Magnets" or imploding magnets to increase the anomalous heat...

Can a slow change in the flux make a sort of magnetic pulse with a frequency of its oscillation. I mean that's what causes inductive heating.

Does anyone know if they have considered using ultra high efficiency magnets to create an oscillating pulse into the energy of the electron orbital shells? This may in turn break the Coulomb barrier.

Hmm I respectfully disagree. The Large Hadron Collider cost $13.25 billion. After doing some cursory research I am confident that humanity can create a machine that can reproduce itself for much less than the cost of the LHC. It appears that its not true that we are no where near a device...

1. That concern is trivial, within only a few solar cycles a von neumann system could include a em drive, a canne drive. Building a intergalactice drive is unlikely to have any exponential effect that from which a von neumann system benefits. 2. Also a trivial concern see above. "How close...

Thanks for the ideas. 2946460 My response is yes, i should have mentioned that m-type asteroids and possibly icy asteroids would be the exclusive source for raw materials. Difficulty, the "brains" part of the self-replication machine would be the most difficult to reproduce. "RepRap is...

Thanks for the comments. So from what I see so far only the rip rap is close and artificial bacteria. From what I've read so far they are theoretically possible, no question. The science and engineering aspects are sound, just never actually fabricated yet. How many months are we away from...

Are self-replicating machines still theoretical or have demonstration models (other than the rip rap 3d printer)been produced?

If the beam has positive charged particles then it should have some measurable charge. So I don't know how to precisely communicate the questions but basically I'm asking if you put an induction coil next to the beam how much current would be generated in just one revolution or one pass of the...

So for sake of example the LHC beam one pointing at the other to cause a collision, the one beam is 6.5 TeV per beam. How can I calculate the volts per meter or given size of pulse? I understand that the particles have kinetic energy in the form of the speed of their travel but theoretically...

Thank you so much for your response, I found it very helpful. :-) Sinter as in sintering, my bad. "The atmosphere would stop every reasonable beam sent from the surface, a particle beam sent from space could easily reach the moon." Do diffusion/difraction is not an issue. You must just...

Could a particle(proton, gold ion, electron) beam reach the surface of the moon, given current technology? Would the beam diffuse too much too scenter the regolith? Or would the beam have to be focused or continually refocused in order to achieve that? If so why can they do it with laser...
