Wasn't there a similar story about a guy in America who collected Radium from old alarm clocks and made a reactor? [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn]David Hahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] Some things you just don't wanna mess with if you don't know what you're doing!
I am splitting atoms even as I type this message. It's not hard to do. In fact I challenge you to stop. On the other hand, building a home nuclear reactor isn't a great idea. Which recycling bin does it go into when you are finished? Tom
I own a nuclear reactor, three of them actually. They're the tritium night sights on one of my toys. A little capsule of tritium that glows red for about 15 years, so you can see the sights at night. No batteries, no LED's to burn out.
The really sad part about this is: these nuts OR geniuses could be working their experiments with a small amount of Government funding, similar to hobbyist film and print development shops that used to exist. They probably would cost pennies relative to what all governments spend and who knows? could find something miraculous! A large degree of our snaillike development is caused by naysayers, bureaucrats and overly pessimistic turds that never have had a new idea. :cheer2:
Didn't think about that, I have 9! Although I think they've downgraded them to 12 years. Thank you Trijicon. Trijicon HD™ Night Sights
How do you jump from a capsule of tritium to a nuclear reactor? These night sights are no more a nuclear reactor than a chunk of rock, or your bones, or an old radium-painted watch dial (I inherited one of those from someone who died of cancer), all of which contain radioisotopes decaying naturally. There is no sustained chain reaction, controlled or otherwise.
You have get your uranium 235 the hard way now. All my centrifuges in the basement seized up do to some virus or something in the controllers.
