Mercy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I never find Wikipedia helpful. Too much jargon.How I have wrote essays since the start of high school -1) Go to Wikipedia2) Copy into jotter3) Replace all big words with small words4) Remove unnecessary paragraphs5)???6)Profit!

Rage097 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm trying to get my Ion probe into Duna orbit...As you can tell I was too lazy to wait for it to encounter Duna. hence my presence here.@Mercy: that's Technically plagiarism......I like your style.

OdinYggd Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Shame I really can't do much with one of the few nuclear ideas I have. Some time ago I had a concept that would have been the holy grail of energy- a power source of predictable output that the use of actually resulted in a net improvement in the environment around it, because it worked by removing hazardous radon gas from the air as its fuel. Over time it would eventually accumulate isotopes of lead inside the unit, but that is far safer to clean up than any kind of nuclear material. The challenge to make it work is a high flow mass spectrometer capable of isolating the desired isotopes to approximately 50% purity with an inert buffer such as helium or argon. I've yet to come up with a way to do this without consuming more than its net energy output, so that's a concept that probably will never leave the theoretical stage.Worked out to around 1.21 Gigawatts of power per gram of radon allowed to decay, yielded over a roughly 2 week period. But on order of tons of air would have to be filtered to obtain that 1 gram of radon gas, and my calculations ignored thermocouple inefficiency.

karolus10 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Chemistry class made me overly cautious when came to checking scent of substances after I check directly (it happen in elementary ) how Sulphuric acid actually smell.It looked quite innocent:Sniffing corrosive acids is a bad idea, trust me.

satcharna Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 As someone who's actually gotten a jolt (no, not from a defibrillator, from a broken toaster) I can agree that electrical shocks are unpleasant. *Extremely sage nod *I used to do photography, and liked it a fair bit too. My pictures were nothing special, but it was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
