Fun With Nuclear Engineering


Not mine but cool by Sam Cohen, designer of the neutron bomb --http://www.athenalab.com/Confessions_Sam_Cohen_2006_Third_Edition.pdf

Not mine but a 1964 symposium on engineering with nuclear explosives (Panama Canal 2 among others) http://archive.org/details/engineeringwithn00plowrich

Engineering with nuclear explosives; proceedings of the third Plowshare Symposium, April 21, 22, 23, 1964 ([1964])

This post of mine explored a way to send probes to the stars cheaply. —The H-Cannon. Of course you may need to heliobrake at a million G’s to stop--

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/h-cannon.html

Femtotech
If Professor A.A. Bolonkin’s theories of synthesizable femtotech nuclear matter are correct here is a way to use it to colonize the Galaxy at 16% light speed.

What if we get super-tech—femtotech and the capabilities of controlled nuclear matter

This post explored the fissionable metal requirements of an all-molten salt reactor powered world economy—



http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/11/david-leblanc-explains-why-thorium.html

And the fissionable metal requirements of a nuclear space hopper to launch huge throughput to space easily. This post speculated on what if we just built the kind of flying nuclear reactor we could have built say in 1960 (steam rocket) versus the never built gas-core reactor in the Aldebaran and 2001 movie’s Discovery –a 12000 ton nuclear hopper.
http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/friedlanders-idea-for-nuclear-hopper.html

These posts are about the prospect of space industrialization, colonization and cool mission ideas.

The idea of lunar surface rendezvous, varied lunar landers and some conversation about iron-nickle content in lunar surface material.
http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/11/what-was-best-way-to-use-saturn-v-to.html

This pair of posts commented on the 300,000 ton a year lift model that a orbital nuclear arms race as in the movie 2001 would have required (600 Sea Dragon launches a year, or about an Aldebaran a month for that market alone)

An astonishing pdf of a 1964 Nuclear propulsive seminar from that era including a presentation by Max Hunter (not mine, but highly interesting) --If you want to know about the reactors Arthur C. Clarke imagined powering the 2001 spaceships, this was the science at the time. http://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/doe/lanl/lib-www/la-pubs/00403701.pdf  

 This post examined what would happen if we had a massive lunar rock processing and materials export capability-- http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/lunar-silicon-vs-helium-3.html
  This post examined the buildup to such a capability http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/setting-up-industrial-village-on-moon.html

   This post examined what we could do by using such a capability to construct massive solar sail shipyards in near Earth space and then going out and capturing multi-million ton asteroids with solar sails the size of the planet Mercury. http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/after-lunar-industrial-village.html
Centauri Dreams covered that last article here http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=16145

    And this post explored industrial processes in space http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/new-space-age-materials-for-new-space.html (warning, very long)

This post examined the idea of using lunar industrialization to enable massive colonization—of Earth’s oceans (seasteading) http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/01/two-world-industrial-bootup-enabling.html

This post examined the possible effects of hyperwealth resulting from such space industrialization http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/hyperwealth-and-alternative-futures-by.html

Geopolitical consequences of geoengineering—


http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/01/the-future-of-canal-transport-take.html Making rivers where we want them, not where the lay of the land puts them.

This post explored ways to export large mass from the earth cheaply. And remove a mass of salt like Africa from the oceans. Geoengineering over deep time.
http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/12/desalting-oceans-next-forty-thousand.html

38 percent of the world’s people live within 100 kilometers of a coast 44 percent of the world’s people live within 150 kilometers of a coast and nearly 50 percent of the world’s people live within 200 kilometers of a coast

These posts are about the ways human minds and their cognitive biases slow down the rate of possible change and technical progress.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/06/post-by-professor-bruce-charlton-on-why.html

If we could increase the incidence of genius 10 times we would live in an entirely different world. Indeed such a transition would be singularity-like, dividing history into before and after periods (and raising the interesting question of diminishing returns or no).

One can imagine an analogue to the Gates Foundation but which recruits young geniuses and guides them through the maze Charlton describes. Only a small fraction of potential genius becomes actual genius--

A “super Marx generator” ultimately reaching gigavolt potentials with an energy output in excess of 100 megajoule. An intense 10 million Ampere-GeV proton beam drawn from a “super Marx generator” can ignite a deuterium thermonuclear detonation wave in a compressed deuterium cylinder, where the strong magnetic field of the proton beam entraps the charged fusion reaction products inside the cylinder.

http://nextbigfuture.com/search/label/Friedlander?updated-max=2016-01-03T09:10:00-08:00&max-results=20&start=2&by-date=false

A series of articles on the actual safety and danger of energy (deaths per terawatt hour)

Mundane Singularity (technologies which are less controversial than MNT. AGI and fusion but which could be used to radically improve the world)

The nuclear cannon (using nuclear bombs from inventory, a deep hole to launch massive amounts of cargo into space while not releasing radiation into the atmosphere or violating treaties.)

Brian has tables forecasting when China’s economy will surpass the United States (2016 to 2018 on an exchange rated basis)

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/05/forecasts-of-china-and-us-gdp-to-2030.html

Brian also has articles about making civilization more robust and how to make energy cleaner and reduce death from disease.

Fun With Amateur Nuclear Engineering

Not mine but cool by Sam Cohen, designer of the neutron bomb --http://www.athenalab.com/Confessions_Sam_Cohen_2006_Third_Edition.pdf

This post explored a way to send probes to the stars cheaply. —The H-Cannon. Of course you may need to heliobrake at a million G’s to stop--

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/h-cannon.html

If Professor A.A. Bolonkin’s theories of synthesizable femtotech nuclear matter are correct here is a way to use it to colonize the Galaxy at 16% light speed.

What if we get super-tech—femtotech and the capabilities of controlled nuclear matter

This post explored the fissionable metal requirements of an all-molten salt reactor powered world economy—

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/11/david-leblanc-explains-why-thorium.html

And the fissionable metal requirements of a nuclear space hopper to launch huge throughput to space easily. This post speculated on what if we just built the kind of flying nuclear reactor we could have built say in 1960 (steam rocket) versus the never built gas-core reactor in the Aldebaran and 2001 movie’s Discovery –a 12000 ton nuclear hopper.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/friedlanders-idea-for-nuclear-hopper.html

These posts are about the prospect of space industrialization, colonization and cool mission ideas.

The idea of lunar surface rendezvous and some conversation about iron-nickle content in lunar surface material.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/11/what-was-best-way-to-use-saturn-v-to.html

This pair of posts commented on the 300,000 ton a year lift model that a orbital nuclear arms race as in the movie 2001 would have required (600 Sea Dragon launches a year, or about an Aldebaran a month for that market alone)

http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/05/where-did-future-go-strategy-of.html

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/heinlein-style-spaceflight-with.html

  This post examined what would happen if we had a massive lunar rock processing and materials export capability-- http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/lunar-silicon-vs-helium-3.html

   This post examined the buildup to such a capability http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/setting-up-industrial-village-on-moon.html

     Keeping the lunar vacuum pristine

      http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/01/friedlander-cold-crown-2-conversation.html

    This post examined what we could do by using such a capability to construct massive solar sail shipyards in near Earth space and then going out and capturing multi-million ton asteroids with solar sails the size of the planet Mercury. http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/after-lunar-industrial-village.html

Centauri Dreams covered that last article here http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=16145

     And this post explored industrial processes in space http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/new-space-age-materials-for-new-space.html (warning, very long)

This post examined the idea of using lunar industrialization to enable massive colonization—of Earth’s oceans (seasteading) http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/01/two-world-industrial-bootup-enabling.html

This post examined the possible effects of hyperwealth resulting from such space industrialization http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/hyperwealth-and-alternative-futures-by.html

Geopolitical consequences of geoengineering—

http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/01/the-future-of-canal-transport-take.html Making rivers where we want them, not where the lay of the land puts them.

This post explored ways to export large mass from the earth cheaply. And remove a mass of salt like Africa from the oceans. Geoengineering over deep time.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/12/desalting-oceans-next-forty-thousand.html

These posts are about the ways human minds and their cognitive biases slow down the rate of possible change and technical progress.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/05/perceived-ludicrousness-levels-how.html

http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/06/post-by-professor-bruce-charlton-on-why.html

If we could increase the incidence of genius 10 times we would live in an entirely different world. Indeed such a transition would be singularity-like, dividing history into before and after periods (and raising the interesting question of diminishing returns or no).

One can imagine an analogue to the Gates Foundation but which recruits young geniuses and guides them through the maze Charlton describes. Only a small fraction of potential genius becomes actual genius--

• Human reaction time for visual stimulus is ~200 ms, ~150 ms for audio (probably smaller for haptic)

• High performance online gaming depends on latencies of less than 100-­‐200ms

• Telerobotic surgery (cutting, suturing, knot tying) requires less than 500 ms

• Telerobotic mining (driving bulldozers, drilling) assume ~500 ms

• Drone piloting with latencies of ~1000 ms (but flying is easy!)

Two way communication range within the cognitive time is 75,000km

Tying a knot with 2 seconds latency can take ten minutes

If we could increase the incidence of genius 10 times we would live in an entirely different world. Indeed such a transition would be singularity-like,  dividing history into before and after periods (and raising the interesting question of diminishing returns or no).

One can imagine an analogue to the Gates Foundation but which recruits young geniuses and guides them through the maze Charlton describes. Only a small fraction of potential genius becomes actual genius--

Irritating Science Fiction Technical Claims Investigated, No. 1 and 2: “Star Trek” and “Aliens”

A guest article by Joseph Friedlander for Brian Wang’s Next Big Future

A lot of geeky debate takes place on how plausible various science fiction weapon systems are. Some claims are so audacious or so repeated that they invite closer examination.

1) “Star Trek”: “Subject the entire planet to lethal neutron bombardment” (Actually this was misremembered, actual text below)

And 2)  “Aliens” "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.”

·        Many of the themes I was going to write in the third and fourth installments were covered in part in other  guest posts I have written for Next Big Future over the years –

This post speculated on what if we just built the kind of flying nuclear reactor we could have built say in 1960 (steam rocket) versus the never built gas-core reactor in the Aldebaran and 2001 movie’s Discovery –a 12000 ton nuclear hopper. http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/friedlanders-idea-for-nuclear-hopper.html

This pair of posts commented on the 300,000 ton a year lift model that a orbital nuclear arms race as in the movie 2001 would have required (600 Sea Dragon launches a year, or about an Aldebaran a month for that market alone)

Centauri Dreams wrote about the after the lunar industrial village that Joseph Friedlander wrote here.

Why not use the lunar materials, then, to create what Friedlander calls a ‘gigantic solar sail loom,’ one that would stretch reinforcement wires in loom fashion over a framework that could reach 10 by 10 kilometers in size. The idea for this space shipyard is to create vast solar sails, spreading a volatile material on the framework, vaporizing thin amounts of aluminum onto it, then removing the volatile and support structure to create an ultra-thin, 100-square kilometer sail.

I’m especially pleased that he points to Al Globus’ idea of an asteroid-retrieval project called AsterAnts. Globus and colleagues Bryan Biegel and Steve Traugott (all working with MRJ Technology Solutions at NASA Ames) came up with the notion back in the late 1990s, presenting it as a NASA technical report and developing its ideas in a presentation at Space Frontier Conference 8. The notion is to retrieve small (1/2 to 1-meter) Near Earth Objects for orbital processing, and to do all this with solar sails that could be constructed and tested near the International Space Station.

Globus and team make the point that these small NEOs have a mass roughly equal to recent spacecraft (the paper cites Deep Space 1 and NEAR), some 500 kg, and thus should be manipulable with propulsion systems like solar electric.

The reference is to Jerome Wright’s Space Sailing (1992). Friedlander, meanwhile, extends the AsterAnts idea to the kind of lightweight sails Drexler writes about, going after 1000-ton asteroids with an infrastructure encompassing entire fleets of sails, one that would begin to produce a billion tons a year of returned materials in high-orbit. In such a scenario, solar sails obviously reach a high level of development, enabling interplanetary travels that help us create the kind of system-wide infrastructure that may one day lead to interstellar missions. If you want to think big, check out Friedlander, who concludes with a discussion of a sail the size of Mercury.

Globus notes that solar sails could increase the number of geosychronous satellite orbital slots by a factor of three.

A solar-sail ‘statite’ of sufficient size could ‘hover,’ tilted so that light pressure is equal and opposite to the pull of gravity, thus increasing the number of direct broadcast slots dramatically. All of this is by way of making the case that space can pay off in multiple directions. Developing the needed sail technologies to make some of these things happen points not only to a supply of interesting materials from captured asteroids but also to economic benefits that are closer at hand. It also points to a space future in which sails take us into the Kuiper Belt and beyond.

ab tube

Example: We want to transfer to a remote location the nuclear breeder fuel – Uranium-238. (μ

= 238) by line havingi = 1000 A,r = 1 m, ion gas pressure 1 atm. One day contains 86400

seconds.

The equation (19) givesM = 214 kg/day, speedV = 120 km/s. The AB-tubes are suitable for

transferring small amounts of a given matter. For transferring a large mass the diameter of tube

and electric current must be larger.

We must also have efficient devices for ionization and utilization of the de-ionization

(recombination) energy.

The offered method allows direct conversion of the ionization energy of the electron gas or

ion gas to light (for example, by connection between the electron and ion gases).

One motivation for Venus Colonization http://www.universetoday.com/15570/colonizing-venus-with-floating-cities/

I have not heard of so far but will share here, is the possiblity of avoiding a cosmic doom in case of a strong point-source event (say a gamma-ray burster or other radiant point-source that does not throw deadly isotropic radiation all around the sphere of say the Earth or Venus. Suppose such a point-source shone deadly upon the Earth from directly above the north pole. The whole Northern hemisphere would die. But civilization would continue in say Australia or Argentina, though in conditions of semi-industrial collapse and harrowing survivor's feelings. But suppose now the event occurred say about 30 north in the sky. As the Earth turned, doom would come in turn (perhaps over many months) to those as far as 60 south. (Most mild versions of such radiation deaths might be stopped by a few meters of dirt and so civilization might retreat underground but some postulated events could hit deeper in the Earth than the geothermal gradient would let us live without active cooling-- a fantasy on a large long term scale, especially since we would need a source of food) But Venus would have its' planet's bulk against part of the celestial sphere for a good fraction of a year—and some portion of humanity might survive that way. I have helped translate to better English an article by Alexei Turchin on the danger for example of a point-source detonation of Outer System fusion. Isotopes. http://www.scribd.com/doc/8299748/The-possibility-of-artificial-fusion-explosion-of-giant-planets-and-other-objects-of-Solar-system

A good fallout shelter for that or even more extreme scenarios (short of detonation of the Sun itself http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/01/sun-explosion.html ) which is another danger I helped another Russian thinker write an English translation about--- http://www.scribd.com/doc/24541542/Artificial-Explosion-of-Sun-AB-Criterion-for-Solar-Detonation Professor A.A. Bolonkin. Protection against such an utterly final event would only be in the cold center of a hundreds of kilometer diameter Kuiper Belt or further object.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization_of_trans-Neptunian_objects One more argument for starting with asteroid colonization and moving outward—AND inward!

18 ldeas for Liberty and reactions

This is the form on Brian Wang's site-- I have the original here if you want to break it up or put in on a blog of your authorship (OR Yolis) as the first installment of content.

BN as the weeks go by more content will be on the way.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/guest-post-by-friedlander-seventeen.html#disqus_thread

----

I have done a summary article of long wave thought as a guest on Brian Wang's blog.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/summary-of-dr-bruce-cordells.html

In extreme summary, this involves speculative historical patterns that MAY explain remarkable historical similarities between eras. ( I regard them as real enough to plan for but not inevitable-- kind of like a historical analogy to hurricane season down South)   This chart is annotated if you have never seen the concept of this once in a lifetime cycle charted against history--

http://www.oftwominds.com/photos2011/Kcycle.png

If Dr. Cordell's insight is correct, a so called  "Maslow Window" will open up enabling a one-time chance to reach a better future for a few years (2015-to 2025). Seizing this historical chance will enable a wonderfully bright future involving freedom enhancing space settlement . Missing it (and we are on track to miss it, make no mistake) will lead to no human expansion in space till 2071 and a probable cycle of wars based on a claustrophobic world effect (Europe, 1914 with no colonies or 'New World' should be your reference) If you want to see a scenario for the first of these wars look here

http://www.oftwominds.com/blogoct10/great-game10-10.html

http://www.oftwominds.com/photos10/US-China-oil.gif

The first war you will notice could erupt in the 2017-21 window. That would absolutely kill the 2015 2025 chance by Dr. Cordell's reckoning  (even the minor Vietnam war terminated the early moon landings).

As I said, thinking about it like hurricane season (a tendency but a strong one) rather than some vague predestiny may be a good analogy.  It literally has gotten me to the point of writing Mark Hinkle (Libertarian Party Chairman) exploring the possibility of me being the Libertarian candidate for President in 2012. (If this is the last chance for space based prosperity in our lifetimes --till 2071--then someone should do something.)

A discussion about how bad radioactive contamination can be in nuclear drainage sumps  http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/sea-based-launch-option-for-nuclear.html

These posts explored the potential of deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion and what might be possible if tritium was not required for thermonuclear power generation.

This post explored the fissionable metal requirements of an all-molten salt reactor powered world economy—

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/11/david-leblanc-explains-why-thorium.html

And the fissionable metal requirements of a nuclear space hopper to launch huge throughput to space easily. This post speculated on what if we just built the kind of flying nuclear reactor we could have built say in 1960 (steam rocket) versus the never built gas-core reactor in the Aldebaran and 2001 movie’s Discovery –a 12000 ton nuclear hopper.

These posts are about the prospect of space industrialization, colonization and cool mission ideas.

The idea of lunar surface rendezvous and some conversation about iron-nickle content in lunar surface material.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/11/what-was-best-way-to-use-saturn-v-to.html

This pair of posts commented on the 300,000 ton a year lift model that a orbital nuclear arms race as in the movie 2001 would have required (600 Sea Dragon launches a year, or about an Aldebaran a month for that market alone)

  This post examined what would happen if we had a massive lunar rock processing and materials export capability-- http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/lunar-silicon-vs-helium-3.html

   This post examined the buildup to such a capability http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/setting-up-industrial-village-on-moon.html

     Keeping the lunar vacuum pristine

      http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/01/friedlander-cold-crown-2-conversation.html

    This post examined what we could do by using such a capability to construct massive solar sail shipyards in near Earth space and then going out and capturing multi-million ton asteroids with solar sails the size of the planet Mercury. http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/12/after-lunar-industrial-village.html

Centauri Dreams covered that last article here http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=16145

     And this post explored industrial processes in space http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/new-space-age-materials-for-new-space.html (warning, very long)

This post examined the idea of using lunar industrialization to enable massive colonization—of Earth’s oceans (seasteading) http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/01/two-world-industrial-bootup-enabling.html

This post examined the possible effects of hyperwealth resulting from such space industrialization http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/02/hyperwealth-and-alternative-futures-by.html

Geopolitical consequences of geoengineering—

http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/01/the-future-of-canal-transport-take.html Making rivers where we want them, not where the lay of the land puts them.

This post explored ways to export large mass from the earth cheaply. And remove a mass of salt like Africa from the oceans. Geoengineering over deep time.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/12/desalting-oceans-next-forty-thousand.html

These posts are about the ways human minds and their cognitive biases slow down the rate of possible change and technical progress.

http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/06/post-by-professor-bruce-charlton-on-why.html

If we could increase the incidence of genius 10 times we would live in an entirely different world. Indeed such a transition would be singularity-like, dividing history into before and after periods (and raising the interesting question of diminishing returns or no).

One can imagine an analogue to the Gates Foundation but which recruits young geniuses and guides them through the maze Charlton describes. Only a small fraction of potential genius becomes actual genius--
