Good to see you professor.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Yes. Good one. She should come back.

She was last here in February. :-\

She never seemed around a lot; busy being mom.

I hope she is OK, though.

Oh, I'm back bodie..I think.

I never can tell when I'm going to be much on forums at all. I have been...uggh..fuck...trying to balance, time, and sort a fucking heinous ton of appointments, got to get heavy metal blood levels done, MRI on my hip, had done, waiting for an appointment with both neurologist, physio, and more scans.

That and being busy, trying to both scrounge parts for, and save money to buy parts for, an attempt to build a cyclotron (a type of cyclic particle accelerator, basically holds charged particles in a steady orbit with a powerful magnetic field, using RF field to basically, kick em up the arse, repeatedly, spinning round in a vacuum chamber, before reaching the intended energy)

Need to find somewhere I can get the wire for the magnets at a decent price, get a good enough set of vacuum pumps etc. before I can start trying to build the accelerator though.

Although I'm more busy with another project atm, testing out some ideas for hydrogenation catalysts on titanium dioxide (micronized, and if possible, deposited on carbon nanotubes/nanofiber etc)

Hey Lestat

You sound pretty busy,  I wondered if you were auditioning for the next Dr Who?  :hahaha:

Hope you are able to get all your bits n bobs for the new thingy you are making  :laugh:
Good to see you back  :thumbup:

Thanks guys.

And I will eventually bodie, bit by bit is how I'll have to do it, as some of the stuff I need, like a turbomolecular pump for the vacuum chamber comprising the actual cyclotron cavity, beamlines, etc. plus a roughing pump pre-stage, not going to come cheap, or the power supply.

Thankfully I do have some heavy machinery for metalworking, a lathe, etc. in the shed, which will be helpful, but its just the expense really, have to build a van de graaf generator to power it, etc. and run it of course. And unfortunately limited just how powerful its practical to build one, without say, building several of 'em to run in series, on household power supplies, just how much total current can be drawn at any one time, and in this case, the stronger the magnetic field, and higher capacity for powerful RF field emitter one has, the faster one can accelerate electron/positrons, protons, and deuterium/tritium nuclei, and thus the more energy they carry.

Bigger the better, when it comes to that. Although even a cyclotron moderate power would be suitable for irradiating samples for production of artificial isotopes of many common (or less common..hehe) elements, transmutations such as  breeding tritium by bombardment of 6Li, etc.

And IIRC the barrier for D-T fusion is something like 0.1MeV, producing helium nuclei and releasing energy in the form of heat, ass-load of neutrons, gamma, etc....I think thats doable at any rate.

And again MORE bloody magnet wire will be needed for the likes of quadrupole or sextupole magnets to focus and compress the beam.

Lestat i think your project might benefit from some Borg nano probes.

Heh...although fusion reactors and the like would be obsolete in trek, with matter/antimatter annihilation power sources available :P
