Strange ad in Radcom

dxhound2005

This is an ad in the Feb 09 Radcom, RSGB mag. Anyone out there with a linear like to help??

WOULD A PERSON WITH A 1KW LINEAR contact me.
I want to use the output to test to see if I can initiate a
thermonuclear reaction. The experiment is to put a tube of low pressure
hydrogen in the inductor of a tuned circuit and excite it with 1kw if
radio energy to ionise the hydrogen and see if it will start a fusion
reaction, if it does the tuned circuit with the tube of hydrogen will be
able to maintain oscillations by the energy of the fusion reactions.
I will provide the tube of hydrogen and an outline design of a tuned
circuit matched to 50ohm.
This is intended as a new source of power. The experiment is quite
dangerous as it may be difficult to stop the nuclear reactions once they
start. There is a danger from radiation and a possible nuclear explosion
if the power runs away.

The good ole cold fusion dream.

You need a compound made with heavy hydrogen to have some chance of making helium. A small percentage of seawater uses heavy hydrogen. Multiple distillation/centrfuge can eventually separate some. Requires a large factory.

The last attempts used a type of Acetone (like nail polish remover) where the hydrocarbons are mostly heavy hydrogen. To create the pressure and temperature required they use ultrasound to create cavation. The little bubbles created can cause very local high pressure and temperature.

The conventional approach is a Lithium compound made with heavy hydrogen. You fire lots of high power lasers (the instantaneous power of a powerstation is needed). Fusion has been detected, but output power is less than input power. A hydrogen bomb uses a plutonium or uranium fission bomb as the "fuse". The "fuel" is heavy hydrogen version of Lithium Hydride as it has more hydrogen per unit weight of any solid known.

No cold fusion has been ever been proven. Only a plasma based magnetic ring type reactor would use hydrogen on its own. It would be heavy hydrogen.

So I suspect Chris G4ZHT has just had an idea and not done any proper research. If he had the resources to buy or make a suitable "host compound" (ideally liquid for RF excitation) using mostly heavy hydrogen then buying an HF linear would be trivial.

I'd also make a wild guess and say that you would need resonance. Thus HF would not be useful as significant RF adsorption would be at microwave frequencies, though I have seen mercury vapour emit UV in a strong HF field (You can light a florescent tube with a 50W HF Transmitter).

It's an interesting idea, but would need a lot more power, choice of compounds, heavy hydrogen rather than regular and a wide range of likely frequencies.

You would need very specialist gear to detect fusion in such a setup as it's not going to be significant and the general RF induction heating the largest temperature rise.

Police and terror squad are investigating the explosion which has demolished about 10 sq miles of London.

He has another ad in Radcom with his website.

I thought it was a joke till I looked at his web site. It's either a bigger joke or proof of something else

It even made it into the newspapers!
