Assuming this method works for LENR...where could it be taken? THEORIES

(1/1)

Cloxxki:
The GEET approach of bubbling the fuel and running it past the concentric exhaust gasses already seemed to give some replicators let's say "anomalous" results. Some reported unexpected exhaust gasses. I think inventor Paul Pantone claimed that elements out where "lighter" elements?
With THOR, the missing carbon appears to be replaced by heavier Oxygen and whether surprisingly or logically, heat is lost in the process.

As I remember (please do correct me) GEET made a real effort to turn liquid hydrocarbon fuel into a vapor (the parts of a mix that would vaporize, at least). The exhaust gasses from the engine before re-entering the reactor may have been pretty common exhaust gasses and water vapor?
Gasses and vapors.

In THOR, there is a claimed and to an extent observed (people refer to a Thai replication, I've not seen that yet) plasmoid actions on the engine's intake side, downstream from the first reactor pass. That's altered AIR with regular fuel, where GEET messed with fuel and seemed to get some combustion from (parts of) less likely waste fuels.

Various paths for further exploration appear "logical":
1- Other gasses and vapors, in and out.
What can this puppy do, under the right heat, pressure and reactor configurations?

2- Solids and liquids, expecially very abundants ones...
Might there be a way to reactor them to other atoms and get a valuable waste product?

THOR if proven would be turning rare CO2 (much less rare in exhaust) into very abundant already oxygen.
Cooler, literally, than nuclear fission. More than the environmentalists knew they were wishing for. A hard blow for the taxation of carbon emission as they were ("the science is settled") believed to be raising sea levels and melting eternal ice more than the Sun and celestial impacts ever did or could. Gas would not be "evil" anymore, fuel falsely hit with environmental tax from the moment THOR is replicated. And a great solution for inner city air quality. It really gets bad in places and the carbon dust makes a mess.

We all want to do something exciting with water. Salt or fresh, it's pretty abundant in terms of volume and energy that might potentially be tapped. Is combustion needed as an EARLY step to get something from water with Low Energy Nuclear Reactions? It may not be a fuel YET, but we can vaporize it quite easily. When we run it past other gasses, be it from a toxic industrial process or rotting biowaste... where could the H2O be taken?
Both GEET and THOR have a combustion event as the center of their arrangement. Yes, this gives heat that could be needed for the eventual exhaust product. But will combustion of an exothermic reaction be needed in ALL cases for any LENR to be possible? Seems unlikely. Some reactions may give out their own heat, or rquire much higher temperature to kick off?

SOLIDS, then... I envision large steel plated. Slated, to gravity feed the material. Vibrating, to feed it in a controlled manner.
The solids are small particles, like sand and finer than that. To achieve a high surface to mass ratio, be accessible for reaction. White sand is to a large extent Silicon Dioxide SiO2. Brings its own oxygen, might be fully reacted out? Or perhaps it's helpful in some LENR to have the oxygen in solid form right there? Fine sand is fed over this large plate and undernath it run...steam? Water vapor? Just plasmoid air?

We have various industries offering fine particles of various metals, for use in 3D printing. Which of those might have nice hidden roles in exciting LENR processes? To be consumed, or to act as catalyst, perhaps as reactor pipe/sphere material?

Even if a desired LENR product were to manifest as atomic metal deposits...we can deal with that. In classic alchemy where we turn lead into gold (I'd like something less rare than lead :-D), the gold will be worth scraping off the reactor and smelting into a more desired form.
In diamond farms, CO2 under pressure reacts with an existing diamond, and it grows. Nice carbon seqeustering. And cheaper than mining for diamonds. LENR might achieve something similar, with a correctly charged metal target growing heavier. Even carbon nanotubes are grown for various applications now. When we incorporate low energy nuclear reactions...what are the possibilities? Of course without doing even half a Marie Curie please, let's think about stuff and start small scale.

3. Combinations of technologies
If GEET had success bubbling fuel and reaction the exhaust with it, and THOR has success ionizing and bubbling AIR before reacting it with the exhaust...what else can be done with such reactors?
Will a GEET setup show different results if a pre-ionization chamber is added on the fuel side? Or the whole THOR air intake added? Can three flows of gasses be brought together in a clever reactor? Air, fuel and exhaust, tried in various directions.
Which configuration allows for the best water as fuel substitution? What are the exhaust gasses?

Is there a chemist on the plane?
We seem to need some flexible minds with chemical understanding, to dive into Malcolm Bendall's theories. There may be potholes and diversions on that path, the gems might be hidden a bit. But if the got a super simple way to turn CO2 and CO into just O2...there just might be more than a wild coincidence going on. It's a lot of work to develop such a theory
Some of his specification of the Thunderstorm Reactor I am quite sceptical about. A bit tooooo specific and far fetched. Numerology gives a lot of interesting insights, but it also offers plenty of rabbit holes to get lost in while seemingly learning more and more.
If there's any chance that this tech works as said...there may be a lot more to be achieved than give environmelist extremists exactly what they implied we needed but didn't ask for.
