Non per fare dietrologia, ma questo post, dopo la sua pubblicazione ha avuto una sorte stranissima. Ho dovuto riscriverlo e ripubblicarlo da capo, dopo avere cambiato password al mio accesso a Google. Il "problema" molto molto divertente che si era verificato al suo codice Html dà molto di che pensare: in cinque anni di blogging non avevo mai visto niente del genere!
Alea iacta est, Iaea augenda est.
Ringrazio Francesco Celani ed Emanuele F. Marano per avermi guidato oggi -- come Virgilio il Poeta -- al "Paradiso" di chi da anni sa che la fusione fredda e le LENR sono realtà. Il “Paradiso” di chi ha subìto il dileggio delle menti tetragone che rifiutano di guardar nel cannocchiale o in mala fede⎯ fanno porcherie d'ogni genere pur di celarne l'esistenza.
È un paradiso incommensurabile. Include le frontiere della scienza esotica, dove persino le LENR sono solo uno di tanti paragrafi. Un paragrafo che si apre così:
3.1.5 Low Energy Nuclear Reactions
3.1.5.1- Electrochemically Induced Deuterium Fusion in Palladium The first-discovered form of solid-state fusion was that achieved by electrochemically splitting heavy water in order to cause the deuterium to absorb into pieces of palladium metal. When this experiment is conducted according to procedures that have resulted from the work of many researchers since 1989, it is reproducible.
The evidence that a nuclear process is occurring is that excess energy inthe form of heat (greater than what could be produced by any possible chemical reaction in the system) and helium 4 (He4) (in quantities exceeding any possible contamination) occur. The primary nuclear reaction is:
E si conclude una decina di pagine dopo così:
3.1.7 Radiution Hazard Considerations
As explained in Section 3.1.4.8, radiation hazards associated with any conventional nuclear reaction-based vehicle propulsion system are highly significant. By contrast, most of the nuclear reactions discussed in this report are of a fundamentally different type, which produce radiation levels that are orders of magnitude less (for an equivalent release of energy) as compared to traditional types of nuclear reactions.
Deuterium-based solid-state nuclear reactions emit low levels of neutrons and gamma rays; however, an aqueous-based system is unlikely to be developed into part of an aircraft P/P system because the operating temperature is not high enough.
Based on claims from the U of I research team, if PPCs (Section 3.1.5.3) could be developed into a power source for an aircraft P/P system, they would provide absolutely no hazard to operations/maintenance personnel or passenger because:
- the initial fuel and matrix materials are not radioactive;
- no neutrons or gamma rays are produced by the hypothesized fusiordfission reaction; and
- alpha particles (He4 nuclei), Beta particles (electrons), and recoil fission products (newly created elements) are of low enough energies to be easily shielded.
In the event of a catastrophic event (crash) severe enough to shatter the PPC containers, residual radiation emitted by the nickel/tanium matrix (and resulting new reaction product elements, which had been created until that time) would be so low that it would not be a problem. The U of I team claims that the residual (Beta) radiation is at such an extremely low intensity that substrates from PPCs (that had been operating until the time of measurement) must be wrapped in ultrahigh-speed photographic film for several weeks in order to cause noticeable fogging of that film.
The alternative tradeoff for a crash scenario for an aircraft propelled by these new types of nuclear reactions should be noted. In contrast to a chemical fuel powered aircraft, there would be no spilled LH2 or hydrocarbon fuel and the resulting fire.
La sezione successiva invece comincia così:
3.2 Energy Conversion
Some of the energy produced by any energy producing system will be in the form of heat. This section presents the results of current research into advanced methods of converting a higher fraction of heat to electric power than may be accomplished with current technology. The electric power may then be used in an aircraft P/P system to provide propulsion.
Additionally, a newly discovered method of transferring relatively large amounts of heat (without a temperature gradient) is described. This technology allows heat exchanger weights and volumes to be reduced and reliability to be significantly increased and is suitable for a very wide range of technical applications.
Insomma, cari ingegneri, fisici e appassionati di scienza che seguite 22 passi d'amore: avete circa 200 pagine da leggere per tutto il restodell'estate e approfondire ben oltre! Fatelo iniziando a scaricare questi due libri (pdf):
Magari provate a scaricarli anche dal mio Google Docs, così non si creano problemi:
Mentre il download procede, leccatevi i baffi con gli indici; quello del secondo libro vi sorprenderà forse ancora più di quello del primo. E se tutto questo è materiale pubblico, figuriamoci cosa diavolo può essere secretato.
Benvenuti a un Sacro Graal che ci introduce alla Nuova Fisica, quella che gli scienziati mainstream ci hanno sempre detto "non esiste". Non si scappa: o sono ignorantoni senza speranza o sono bugiardi matricolati! Comunque sia vanno scacciati dai templi del Sapere.
