How to convert C-12 / C-13 to C-1, does any one know how this can be done, how much energy will I need to bang out a neutron?
what is C-1?C-12 / C-13 to C-1
There's no such thing as C-1. C has 6 protons.How to convert C-12 / C-13 to C-1, does any one know how this can be done, how much energy will I need to bang out a neutron?
C12 (6p, 6n) and C13 (6p, 7n) are the stable isotopes of carbon. The other isotopes are unstable or radioactive.Carbon-12 contains 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
If I must take a shot, C-6 will be the highest ?
Ok the big idea is to make Carbon decay to Hydrogen, this is part of one of my projects, and I doubt that it will take as much as 8MeV gammas to do the job? Because it’s all light materialsFirstly, you won't get the equipment needed to do such nuclear reactions. It's expensive, complicated
Carbon won't decay to hydrogen. Rather, one could knock out a proton, by a sufficiently energetic (n,p) reaction, but that leaves a boron nucleus. One could knock out another proton and obtain Be, and so on throught Li, He and finally H. However, when all is said and done, that's a lot of energy expended for little gain.Ok the big idea is to make Carbon decay to Hydrogen,
Well He-6 apparently decays by beta emission to Li-6. H-6, H-5 and H-4 decay by neutron emission, at least according the Chart of Nuclides on BNL's website. I would be interested in how someone made H-4, H-5 or H-6, as these would tend to be highly unstable with very short half-lives.What happens to H-6 then it’s on decay mode?
He-6 becomes H-6, but H-6 can becomes nothing?
NopeDo you understand how to calculate the Q value for a decay or reaction?
NopeDo you know that you need a positive Q value for a decay to be possible?
Lol, I not so sure manIts very simple.
My idea is to take the CO2 and make the C turn into H via neutron capture and then you just use that O2 + H = Energy
If you turn C to H there will be some energy release I’m not yet 100% sure where, but somewhere there will be a gain, because it took energy to make H-1 turn to C
So I want to take C-12 / C-13 and convert the isotopes to C-1, but now that wont be the case, I cant make it C-1, I can only make it C-8, so that sucks
I dont mean this in a offensive way. But you need to read up one some basic physics.Lol, I not so sure man
What does Q symbol stand for, I know it’s energy now, but, Joule, eV, Coulomb or Watts ?
In my electronic book, my have a formula of Q = C x V
that C is for Capacitance and the V like you know, Volt
In the book it describes as says something like, Q = Charge
Q=[M(12C)-6M(H)-6M(n)]*C^2
Q = Charge
M = Mass
(n) = neutrons
12C = C-12, carbon / (12XC), what must C value be
And that H what value must you put in there?
This above is mostly just jibberish. There is no logic behind it. You are mixing chemistry with nuclear physics in a way that makes no sense at all.My idea is to take the CO2 and make the C turn into H via neutron capture and then you just use that O2 + H = Energy
If you turn C to H there will be some energy release I’m not yet 100% sure where, but somewhere there will be a gain, because it took energy to make H-1 turn to C
There is no such thing as C-1. You need to understand the notation.So I want to take C-12 / C-13 and convert the isotopes to C-1, but now that wont be the case, I cant make it C-1, I can only make it C-8, so that sucks
To come back again to that He-6 decays to Li-6.He-6 apparently decays by beta emission to Li-6.
Turning carbon to hydrogen TAKES energy, many many thousands (if not millions) of times more energy you'd get from then burning tha hydrogen with oxygen.My idea is to take the CO2 and make the C turn into H via neutron capture and then you just use that O2 + H = Energy

When looking for the phone number of a local taxi company, do you look in a cook book? No, because you know you find recipies in a cook book, not phone numbers. So why are you looking in an electronics textbook for nuclear physics models?LIn my electronic book, my have a formula of Q = C x V
that C is for Capacitance and the V like you know, Volt
In the book it describes as says something like, Q = Charge
That is exactly what makes converting C to H impractical.Turning carbon to hydrogen TAKES energy, many many thousands (if not millions) of times more energy you'd get from then burning tha hydrogen with oxygen.
I don’t have any nuclear physics textbooks or resources. And I’m working on the lowest tech internet you can imagine dial-upSo why are you looking in an electronics textbook for nuclear physics models?
