Gordon McDowell has made amazing videos! • Thorium 2017 - Наука та технологія
Great video! Environmentalists should understand that nuclear (fission) energy is as "natural" as solar energy. Nuclear fuel is formed very similar to other valued metals like rare-earths, gold, platinum etc.
Hopefully this channel will have more content worthy of our attention soon. Three minutes isn't really long enough especially when it is full of glib generalities. Give us some credit, give us some detail.
We need to know about the attendant systems required (sometimes referred to as the kidney)to keep the molten salt core fuelled, the problems and potential solutions thereincontained.
Reading the comments below I see you are going to embark on an excursion into Stellar Nucleosynthesis in certain types of supernovae. While stellar nuclear chemistry is quite interesting and admittedly relevant to some degree, the name of the channel is "Thorium Energy" and I hope we get to the real meat of the subject pretty soon.
In the MSRE, they just put slugs of Uranium into the salt through a port.
Dorian Cross pleased to hear you want details! Here you find what arguably is the larges available source of scientific Thorium details: www.thoriumenergyworld.com/conference1.html
We will not embark into a nucleosynthesis documentary, you find the outlined Thorium Documentary episodes here www.thoriumenergyworld.com/documentary.html
new upload, same error.
heavy elements are created from iron-iron interactions. net negative heavy atom fusions, not neutron capture and beta decay.
Just as the transuranic new elements are created by heavy ion bombardment of other heavy elements.
You need the high energy to overcome the coulomb barrier and get the nuclei close enough for strong force to predominate.
Jonathan Schattke post a link that back your iron iron interaction.
Until then we'll have to go with "elements are created from the absorption of multiple neutrons (the R process) in the period of a few seconds during the explosion. The elements formed in supernovas include the heaviest elements known, such as the long-lived elements uranium and thorium" from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_nucleosynthesis
Why would you do a video about this without even reading the Wiki article, or Brittanica... or, it appears, anything?
The two peaks in abundance, at Tin to Barium and then around platinum - are caused by iron+iron and iron+iron+iron interactions. The r-process might contribute to filling, but it is less likely.
This video is only about how Thorium is created (r-process). You have to find another video for an explanation for the other elements. And yes, we have read quite a bit. Why don't you start by reading the quote I answered you with?
I'm sorry you do not understand plasma physics or nuclear processes. Have a nice life.
Plasma physics... well, I've been part of creating this: www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7120/abs/nature05393.html?foxtrotcallback=true
While thorium is great and all, the process in the video is not unique to thorium. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is where every element "comes from", stars exploding, star stuff, yadayada. What exactly are you meaning to convey in regards to thorium? Thorium good, Carbon Bad?
DKTAz00 actually we will cover Earth's carbon cycle in the next episode. Carbon is essential, but too much in the atmosphere is bad. You are right that all elements heavier than hydrogen are made in stars in one way or another. The process for Thorium differs from carbon dramatically. This is the first out of many episodes, the big message will be that we should use Thorium as the next energy source globally.
Thanks
Every element other than hydrogen is done in stellar synthesis, correct. Up to iron, the fusions are net energy producers, so happen in normal sequence stars. Everything after iron, being net negative energy, happens less rarely; since the energy available in the core of a star is low, after about Zinc, things become more and more rare (the energy isn't there to force the fusion) - but in a supernova, there is a sudden burst of a lot of energy.
