I am having a problem with some thermodynamics calculations. I am not very experienced with them and it certainly shows in my frustration with them! Anyway the check that I am using is incrementally simulated work compared to theoretical energy in. Example 31KJ in 133KJ mechanical work out. I...

more specifically speaking I know that plasma is highly conductive, I am just not sure how conductive a hydrogen ion beam is, at say 20Kev, it stands to reason that it would behave like any other plasma, but I don’t know much about it in this circumstance, like I am thinking (just hashing it out...

I am still trying to get a handle on plasma behavior, if I had a gap intended to apply a field for the purpose of compressing a hydrogen ion stream, using the Z-pinch effect could one discharge a current through the ion stream to affect the Z-pinch? I am thinking that it would, that the...

OP means Original Post. If I understand your post right, you are asking why the conductor material of the coil is not considered in the equation. The analogy given sounded as though you were discussing moving a charge like in a capacitor, where electrons are physically separated and thus...

Look up electromagnetic induction on Wiki, there is a good description of what you are asking. But if I try and apply it to the OP, EMF is the pressure that the electrons have on them to flow, not the flow its self. You are describing the result of this action. And so, no mater what material...

I did not say "the reciprocal" I said "is reciprocal" which means equivalent . I am sorry for the fuss. I thought you had a question that needed answering. I did not realize it was rhetorical. heh, all this time you were trying to educate me?! I can be thick headed sometimes :smile: I...

You are right, "the mag field due to induced current in the coil CANNOT overpower the source field"- but that has nothing to do with the equation noted by unseensoul. Force causes mass to accelerate, emf is (Electro Motive Force) measured in volts, it may be a misnomer but behaves in much the...

it sounds like you have a fair knowlage of the subject, so I apologize if I sound as though I am talking down to you, I am afraid I have no other way of explaining things. You answered this yourself. The magnetic field of the current flowing counters the magnetic field of the source thereby...

Perhaps I can help you with that. If you have even a high resistance winding cutting a magnetic field and it is open you will read exactly the same voltage as a low resistance winding. When you short the terminals of a coil with a wire across it and you measure the terminals you will be...

The action of induction is constant as explained earlier. However changes in observation are the result of particular circuit properties not different induction properties. And the same calculations are employed. Coil resistance will affect the amount of current that can flow from the induced...

I have not found any more information on this method of diamond production. however I wonder if one could cause a strong enough magnetic field to compress a diamond in a Z-pinch arrangement. according to my first glance calculations if one set up a Z-pinch reactor with a current of 1,000,000...

Yea I guess you are right, "synthetic" can cover a wide variety of compounds and techniques.

There is a patent (5437243) that describes a method of allotropic conversion of graphite to diamond using a supercritical current (1,000,000 columns) 4 microseconds >1000 volt potential. The patent sounds a little iffy and of course I do not understand the principles behind the claim. I was...

I know that the OP has already been answered but subsequent posts have produced confusing conclusions so I thought that I would add a few tidying details to clean things up a bit. As stated before, steam (in physical chemistry) is a gas and a completely invisible gas at that. There is a good...

I really like projects like this as they teach you a lot if stuff! cheers!
