Advice on special project

Sigh, it never fails that when someone posts about their desire to build a home nuclear reactor Matt shows up with all his radium talk and nuclear reactor bashing. Yes people used radioactive materials for energy before nuclear reactors but where would energy production be right now without the free teachings of the nuclear reactor physicists and engineers?

Build your own nuclear reactor or use radium, build it for the right reasons and you'll be fine with whichever path you choose.
 
We wouldn't even need the nuclear power if the oil companies werent so greedy. Shoot, back in the day we invented a carburetor that made a '68 Camaro get 132mpg. The oil companies bought it and we've never seen it again.

I'm working on the next big thing though. It's a green engine. What should I use for my pistons, silver or bronze? My engine block is unstabilized maple. Will it warp? I still haven't figured out the Micarta valve springs yet.


:D
 
My first car was a 69 Impala SS convertible that got 188 mpg. The carb was made out of 2 large thimbles that were drilled out for fuel mixture and the pistons were made out of cans filled with distilled water and sealed.

My 91 Chevy Truck doesn't burn commercially available fuels. I have a cow in the bed with a hose in it's tail and burn the methane directly from the source. I get about 80 mpc (miles per can) of Bush's vegetarian baked beans.

We need upgraded smilies here. There's just no way to properly express how happy that made me without the rolling on the ground laughing smilie.
 
Tracy, I was thinking about doing just this the other day. I think it's doable, cause I saw a guy do it on youtube out in the woods with just some yellowcake and an old bar-b-q grill. His proprietary method produced a 300% increase in efficiency over what the IAEA has come up with.

And about those guys, the IAEA is such an over-rated, over-paid bunch of baloney. Any amature nuclear physicist can do the same thing with some practice and meditation!

I reckoned up there y'all would just open the fridge door and trap some of that cold air in the fridge.... ahhh y'all is running a heater on it to keep the food cold and not frozen.
 
This just all seems too good to be true and I got worried maybe you guys were just fun'n around!!!:eek:
 
I really don't want to post this, but I think you need to be certified by the ABS to do this (Atomic Builders Society). They set up the standards for home built reactors. First you have to show that you know what you are doing with radioactive stuff. If you pass the test (and give them a lot of money) they will make you a JS ( Junior scientist). After you have built a fusion reactor that sustains a solar level reaction for over 100 days, they will make you a MS. ( Master scientist). Tai Goo is in charge of the testing, so contact him for more info.

If you are not a person who caters to any society telling you what to do with neutrons, then you can become one of the Neo-tribal nuclear pioneers. There was a big group of them in Siberia, but no one has heard from them since 1905?

Sorry Stacy... Tunguska was proven to be the result of a crashed alien ship. Same guys responsible for building the pyramids, and the likely pranksters behind Medugorje, too!

... gotta go, I think I just found Elvis in my corn flakes.
 
That alien crash story was just a Russian cover-up. They didn't want anyone to know that they had a rouge group of Tuva's using nuclear power to heat their hot tubs. They would have used the same story in Chernobyl, but no one would have believed that two alien space craft accidentally crashed in remote parts of Russia. An interesting side note is that the local Siberian people seem to communicate in a strange throat language, only intelligible to each other, which drives Caucasians insane. This may have aided the acceptance of the alien story.

The Hopi Indians (or was it the Pueblo ???) had a reactor somewhere in New Mexico back in the 1950's. It was made from adobe,IIRC. Last I heard the Government had shut it down with some cockamamie story they borrowed from the Russians.

С Новым Годом (S novim godom) comrads,
