Hi, I am about to write a simple application, simulating in 3D current location of the planets in Solar system. Honestly, I do not know even how to start. Can you please guide me where could I find some good information on planet orbits, current locations and how to make all of the calculations...
Hi everyone!
Thank you Jim for reopening the thread. It was just before my vacation when started the thread. After returned to home, it was already closed. Now I am waiting for someone who asked me to reopen the thread. He wanted to share additional material / explanation.
And of course, big...
Hi,
Some time ago I was looking for lightning ball videos on youtube.
I observed some strange phenomenon recorded on one of the videos.
Before a lightning ball is created, some "dark" ball is coming from above
and then it immediately changes to the lightning ball which is moving at different...
Actually you might be right. However it is difficult to tell that without performing an experiment. In fact experiment should be easy to perform: Just observe amount of He3, He4 and neutrons produced in vacuum with Lithium Hydride near to gamma source (like Na24). This should tell enough about...
Ah, this way. Yes I have also checked this. There is only way if you use Lithium-7 and/or Deuteride as mentioned above (marked with asterisk):
Ok, so yes is the answer. Many thanks :)
> Yes, but where is the point in having a few reactions per second where you need some sextillions?
I have never claimed this is the invention which will revolutionize energy industry. As I have written above: "The reactions if correct, have a very small cross sections and will occur very...
Furthermore: If we use Lithium-6 Hydride-1 with Sodium-24, then the fusion is clean i.e. no radioactive isotopes like tritium nor neutrons are produced because only the reactions mentioned above are permitted for those isotopes and 2,754 [MeV] photons.
> Is the idea that hydrogen in lithium hydride will be doing the fusion?
1) Yes, but hydrogen/deuteron in LiH is used as a target to collide with
daughter deuteron produced in Li6 fission induced by gamma photon.
2) If we use Na24 as source of gamma photons, the kinetic energy of this...
None of those. I think to use gamma ray to disintegrate 6Li nucleus and create products like 2H or 1H with kinetic energy enough to cause 1H-2H or 2H-2H fusion with stationary hydrogen in Lithium Hydride/Deuteride.
Hi folks,
IMO, it should be possible to initiate a nuclear fusion of H1-H2 and H2-H2 in crystals of Lithium Hydride induced by gamma photons emitted form decay of Na24.
Could anyone please verify if the following is correct?
By using nuclear photodisintegration effect, we need a gamma photon...
If you already know some C/C++ and need extra performance, I would like to recommend use of NVIDIA CUDA.
It have a great set of samples and libraries. Personally I use it as a great sandbox for computer simulations.
For CUDA I recommend course on coursera.org...
