I was wondering, if quantum effects could help them get more dense plasma if they use Deuteron (D2) with spin of 1 instead of proton with spin of 1/2 (and consequently B10 instead of B11)?

This leads back to a previous conversation. I haven’t found much information about spin and fusion rates that isn’t behind a pay wall so lets dream a little.
B10 has a spin of 3 and B11 has a spin of 3/2 according to this reference. If spin has any influence then D2 + B10 should have the best reaction rate. Refer to this article.
The Magnetic Field Effect and plasmoid effects probably operate on a quantum level.
One good way to see the influence of spin is to actually try different fuel combinations.

You did a nice job of illustrating your concept. It appears to be a hybrid machine that uses a Z-pinch to produce fusion inside a Tokamak type chamber to hold the reaction and extract the energy. The use of lasers to guide the current is an intriguing idea. Laser plasma wave particle acceleration could increase the fusion yield.

It would be interesting to see the results if fusion fuel gases and pressures were used.

There is the potential to create virtual electrodes in fusion chambers to move intense reactions away from the metal electrodes.

Do you think its possible electric discharges occur within the Earth? With electric discharges, there is a possibility of plasmoids, which will concentrate energy enough for fusion.

I am not familiar with the research on this so I will give my opinion. There are varying levels of conductivity ranging from desert surfaces, liquid bodies and the molten core. Theory says that the earth’s magnetic field arises from the interaction of rotation, internal electrical currents and other forces. The normally occurring electrical currents are so diffuse that plasmoids probably don’t exist. Extraordinary events like earthquakes can release concentrated energy through piezoelectric effects by friction and the breaking of rocks. Plasmoids might occur then but I don’t know how it could be proven.
The most concentrated natural electrical currents that I know of are lightning strikes. I’ve read that very energetic lightning is present around some erupting volcanoes. There can be high energy radiation and interesting chemical reactions but I am not aware of anyone suggesting that nuclear reactions happen.

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.

There has been some discussion about pre-ionization. That will depend on how the experiments go with the new tungsten electrodes. Look at the January 27 report. You may also be interested in the News and Archives.

There are a lot of people who are interested in fusion but they may not feel comfortable in commenting about the technical aspects.

Given enough energy, any elements can be combined but it is only practical to combine elements that will yield enough surplus energy. See this explanation.

The closest research that I have found that is similar to your concept is the plasma railgun.

[Francisl]

Can you get the information that you want from these files?

[Francisl]

How would you make that measurement?

[Francisl]

Are you referring to the AmazonSmile program? It looks like a good program. One of the Administrators can check it out.

[Francisl]

There is a good discussion at this post.

[Francisl]

Yes. It is easier to adjust the current in the axial field coil than to change the shape of the electrodes.

[Francisl]

That concept has been discussed in the past. Use the search term “electrode”. It is another variable that can be explored once the limits of the current structure are well known.
