Key New Energy Times issue discussing the neutron generating experiment
Note: having lithium in the mix, as Suhas Ralkar does, should absorb some Neutrons breeding Tritium and then the protons flying around make Helium.
It is the Tritium everyone gets upset about.
In ITER, the neutrons are 14 MeV, requiring 0.5m - 1m of lithium, --- how thick does the lithium need to be for 255KeV?
Moderator Blanket
It seems useful to have a moderator blanket of graphite or beryllium oxide for the purpose of slowing down the fast neutrons before they undergo the Li6(n,t)He4 reaction. The reaction cross section follows a l/v law below the resonance at 255 kev, and the thermal neutron cross section is more than 103 times as large as for the energy region where the neutrons would react in a pure lithium blanket.
If a moderator blanket is lined with lithium both inside and outside, no thermal neutrons can escape. The mean free path for absorption of thermal neutrons is 0.3 cm in natural lithium and 0.023 cm in pure Li6. Depending on the albedo of the moderator blanket, the inner lining will receive more thermal neutrons than the outer one.
Thanks for Sharing t all, very very interesting
I have two new questions about the ECCO reactor.
(1) Discharge power : 1MHZ 2000-2400V pulse high voltage direct current. But the market is difficult to find such a high frequency power supply, whether it is Suhas homemade this kind of power?
(2) Ultrasonic transducer: I saw the article say that the ultrasonic transducer is combined with the reactor core (Al2O3 tube).The reactor core has a high temperature of 1000 degrees. Why is it not used to cool the structure of the ultrasonic transducer? Ultrasonic transducers should not be high temperature resistant. Also, the 1MHZ ultrasonic transducer itself will have ultrasonic heat, and it should need water to cool it, just like an ultrasonic atomizer. Thank you
