Reply To: heaviest element plasmoid fusion?

[Francisl]

Sure, I don’t dispute pB11 is an optimal fusion fuel. I’m looking to explain some of the Earth’s composition by plasmoid fusion by subterranean electric discharge, after the Earth formed. Like all this sulphur we see around. I think your plasmoid theory could explain sulphur as a product of oxygen oxygen plasmoid induced fusion, or perhaps cumulative helium fusions, as an ongoing process within the Earth, and on Io.
It may also explain the distribution of some other elements in the Earth’s crust. Elements that require endo-thermic fusion will be less abundant in the crust.

Is there some part of the earth’s composition that you think is out of balance compared to normal planetary formation?

So we’ve got the electric field is about 400 GeV/m for deuterium fuel which has an average charge of 1. pB-11 has an average charge of (1+5)/2 = 3. Given that plasmoid electromagnetic fields get stronger by the 5th power of charge of the fusion ions, we have the formula E = k*e^5, where E is the resultant electric field, e is the average charge of the fusion ions, and k is a constant. We have values ( E=400GeV/m,e=1), so k=400G. So for pB-11, e=3, so by the formula, E = 400G * 3^5 = 97 TeV/m

Did the meemoe formula get it right?

Particle accelerators are normally used to provide this much energy. You can try to find their results to check your calculations.
I think that based on the energy requirements that it would be unlikely that fusion is taking place through natural reactions on earth. It is much more likely that natural radioactive decay and cosmic bombardment could cause some fission of heavier elements to lighter ones. Sufficient neutron activation can cause the decay of any element. By that logic the largest isotope variations should occur around naturally radioactive areas.
