@All
Because the subject of Transmutation has come up many times, I though this info would be nice to have here.
Transmutation of Iron producing excess energy
Based on the principles of the Vallée Synergetic Generator:
http://jlnlabs.online.fr/vsg/vsg35.htm The shorter the Half life the more energy is released in a given time
Only (0.282%)of Iron is Fe-58
Fe-58 Transmutes to Mn-58 with a half life of 3.0 Sec. (Shortest)
Mn-58 transmutes back to Fe-58 releasing 6.250 MeV of Beta.
Making it the best, you get over 2 MeV per Sec out of it.
Then (2.119%) of Iron is Fe-57
Fe-57 Transmutes to Mn-57 with a half life of 85.4 Sec.
Mn-57 Transmutes back to Fe-57 releasing 2.691 MeV of Beta.
This one gives you 0.03151 MeV per Sec. or 31.51 KeV per Sec.
The 2 most common Naturally Occuring isotopes make up (97.599%) of all iron
Fe-56 (91.754%) from Mn-56 half life 2.5785 Hours 3.695 MeV Beta (To Long)
Fe-54 (5.845%) from Mn-54 half life 312.3 Days 1.377 MeV Beta (Much To Long)
Mn-56 and Mn-54 have to long a Half life, releasing to little energy per sec to be useful.
Because (97.599%)of Iron will produce these, that is why we need a large sample of Iron,
like Thin Iron wire.
Ideally, if we could get some pure Fe-58 we would have a really good power source.
These figures are based on the info found at this site.
http://www.matpack.de/Info/Nuclear/Nuclids/nuclids0.html This is the best Periodic Table I have found for this, just click on any element to check it out.
As for Copper Transmutation, Cu-65 (30.83%)is the best:
Cu-65 from Ni-65 half life 2.5172 Hours releasing 2.137 MeV Beta
That's only 235.82 eV per Sec. which is quite low, so I don't think this will work well.
But Iron Fe-58 has potential.
This also brings us back to Carbon which appears to be far better then Iron for this.
B-12 to C-12 Half Life 20.20 MS releasing 13.369 MeV of beta.
That's 13.369 MeV in 20.20 milliseconds. Or about 13 Million Volts at 50 Hz.
A whole section of this forum was devoted to that topic a few years back but died out.
I believe the biggest problem was getting the magnetic field and frequency just right.
But Maybe! Iron will work better because of it's magnetic properties.
In order for NMR to take place a magnetic field of a precise strength must surround the sample,
as the sample oscillates at a precise frequency.
Iron being magnetic will solve this problem, because the very atoms will be surrounded by the magnetic field.
Of course this is based on the theory that NMR will cause Transmutation to take place!
