Thought on cooling

[Matthew Hogue]

I have been scouring the web for various fusors and have noticed nearly all of the hobbist fusors overheat and draw a voracious amount of power, what would be the practicality of using copper tubing with high flow distilled water passing through? I have used that for cooling of several of my tesla coils, but I do not know about the practicality of it. I was thinking that with that much heat being transferred into the water, it would turn into steam with little to no issue, then pipe off into something like a turbine driven alternator hooked into the various multipliers to sustain the reaction. On that note, I would think it would be easy enough to perform electrolysis on the cooling water to release the hydrogen, correct me if I'm wrong, but would stray neutrons react with protium to produce deuterium? My main safety concern is the properties of water in a vacuum in the event of a leak

Your idea is impossible on the face of it due to the simple physics and losses involved. Entropy wins....Always. The game is rigged, but it is the only game in town.

Without thermodynamic variables, this world would be run on fusion. I'll look into speaking with Physics about curtailing that.

[Benjamin Abbatiello]

On second thought, without thermodynamic variables, why would we need energy in the first place? Energy continues to astound my weak mind (as compared to the mind of the strange God who made this stuff up).

Benjamin, Philosophically interesting shorts there. Few, I fear, actually cogitate long and hard on the universe's various energies and their presentations, origins and ebbs and flows. The mind is ill equipped to go but so far before leaping into the unknown and often, the unknowable; something better minds don't want to face up to.

These musing are often best shared with like minds over a little Jack Daniels in a darkened study by a crackling fireplace to retain the purity they deserve.

Such philosophical discussion might find a better home in the theory forum, however. Too far afield and such discussions would not belong in any of these forums, but another palce on the internet.
