Im ok with a calm debate that has reason behind it , but once people go over board and start being ignorant then i have a problem , I personally think its the best plan to Not talk about , Religion , Politics or Football

Again fair point , im not trying to be an Ass about it i just truely don't know so thats why im asking

So hypothetically things can be dis proven ( in a strange way ) due to Quantum Mechanics however QM can't be used as a " Op guess you guys are all wrong " argument is what your saying ?


So in a Hypothetical situation if you had an Active Nuclear (fission or Cold Fusion ) reactor running and its power supply was hooked up to a particle thing ( sorry for sounding stupid i don't know the actual name ) that is used to re-enrich Uranium would it be plausible if you could find a way to amplify the power:product ratio to where more Product was put out for your energy buck ? something to do with conductors ?

Nope, for the same reason why you can't have a perpetual motion machine. Neat idea though, it might make for a very very long-lasting energy source if you could make it efficient enough.

In space a perpetual motion machine could work correct ? because there is an absence of Gravity( yes i know that there is still some pull ) granted that you are away from larger celestial bodies ?

even though i wouldn't be able to make it perfect ( if i tried ) it would possibly lead to the evolution of technology that would allow for a much more efficient Nuclear system no ?

So perhaps if you could make a system efficient enough to where the Reactor output was not over-ridden by the power requirement to en-rich the old material

No, because a perpetual motion machine is a closed system that requires no input in order to function indefinitely, which violates the laws of thermodynamics. Gravity would actually be more useful, as the input of downward motion at least does something; however, it is still impossible on gravity alone.

No, but you could seriously prolong the life of said nuclear fuel at the cost of significantly smaller output.

Honestly when your supply a small amount of people that actually may be there better plan , however do you have a suggestion as to why type of battery could contain enough energy in order to power a Particle or Laser weapon for an extended period of time ( 25-30 shots from a Rifle fixed battery ) I was thinking something Ion based but im not to familar on the Science of it to made an educated Theory -- Because if you could find a way to get batterys that could hold enough energy then you wouldn't need mini-reactors to power weapons and Armor you would just put exhausted batteries into a charge that is hooked up to the modified reactor

Ion-based? What do you mean ion-based? Like, as in the element kind of based?

"I" was just a Capital " i " but if you could use Ionized particles to offer a greater energy output is that at all plausable or even possible ?


similar to a Lithium-Ion battery but much more advanced and able to hold a much Larger charge ( MegaJoules ? )

Two things: the principles behind nuclear fission and fusion are vastly different. You can't apply a method to both irrespectively. Nuclear fusion cannot be enriched, as that is the process itself. Fusion is when larger atoms are created out of smaller ones, producing energy since they're below the binding energy of iron, meaning some of their mass is converted to energy as the bond energy of one heavier atom in that case is less than the bonding energy of the two initial atoms. Fission is the opposite. One heavy atoms becomes a lighter atom or two, and generally produces a stray neutron. Since they're above the binding energy of iron, the two lighter atoms require less bond energy than the larger one had, and so energy is produced. Completely different processes. Enriching any form of fusion reaction would be pointless.

As for bombarding a fission reaction, specifically in the form of an atomic pile, there are two problems. Firstly, the energy required to accelerate protons/neutrons enough to overcome the electrostatic force of the nucleus (allowing the bombarding particle to bind with the initial atom) takes a lot of power. I don't have figures in front of me, but the energy output of a single re-enriched U-238 atom would be several orders of magnitude lower than the energy required for a single alpha particle or even neutron to be accelerated through that atom's electrostatic field.

A much better method would be to use a breeder reactor instead of a light water reactor, like me. Breeder reactors are theoretically capable of extracting sixty times the energy per pound of fissile material versus a single-cycle light water reactor.

And that's not even touching the containment issues of attaching a particle accelerator to a controlled atomic explosion.

Thank you for Explaining all of this for me , i know very little of this subject ( as if it wasn't obvious lol )

So what hypothetical situation would be needed in order to create a Breeder ? and what Fuel source would a Breeder require ? Still Uranium ?
And i know its hard to associate with this specific RP as it is 1,000 years in the future of today so technology could change massively

But i guess my main question is , is it Physically possible though .... well Physics

Well, I have no idea what you need in terms of a physical mass of fissile material. Countries tend to keep such information close to their chests. You'd use U-235 though, just like a normal reactor.

Speaking in scientific terms, transmuting spent nuclear fuel via bombardment will never produce energy. By definition, according to the law of electrostatic repulsion, putting subatomic particles into the nucleus is far more energy-intensive than the process of releasing them was. So, if your reactor is putting out several kJ per atom of U-235, bombarding the spent Barium back into U-235 would require several orders of magnitude of energy more than you would receive from reinserting the reprocessed fuel and utilizing it again.

That's a little disappointing , although it seems reasonable now that you explained it .

It's not a horrible idea for a form of energy storage, so don't discard it entirely. Use power generated by biofuels or solar/tidal sources to run the particle accelerator and transmute your old nuclear waste. It isn't a terribly efficient storage system, but it's better than merely wasting the energy if you don't have a large regular demand for the power. That's what I do with my reprocessing facilities. Storing energy in reprocessed fissile materials is far more space efficient than any other form of capacitor, and it doesn't undergo power leakage over time. It's terrible inefficient, but not completely worthless.

I guess it boils down to how much power i am capable of wasting

Name: The Prolic People
Race: Prole, The human race's underclass taken form. Proles are very small, around meter and a half tall at maximum and are covered in a thick hide of hard scale-like skin. Their large eyes grow bright with yellow luminescence in the dark where they were engineered to live. They are built to have reduced demands for food, and to this end, they have been made symbiotic with algae, which they feed by basking in the lights of the base that are still operational.
Government: Non-existent, Proles don't have the knowledge currently to have developed one.
Ruler: See above, all Proles consider each other equal.
Territory: The Cheyenne Mountain nuclear bunker.
Military: 1500 warriors are available at any time, with 3000 total able to be rallied at anytime, in addition to still operational base defenses.
History: TBD
Population: 10,000
Tech: Mostly scavenged from their now dead masters' constructs. The one standard is a combat harness that has attached to it a laser powered by two fusion batteries, and covers most of the Prole body. The most revered object in the Prolic People is the one still working fusion reactor at the base, which is maintained religiously, and prayed to by those proles seeking guidance by the Masters. All recorded knowledge that the Proles have found is deposited in one of the chambers near the reactor. Around 10 hovering tanks have been found and are operational, but the Proles have no knowledge of how to operated them, and the chamber is sealed to all but the Knowledge-Priests. Sentinels, small floating robots, assist the Proles in all tasks, and can be easily refitted for combat.

G-Tech Corp i need your ideas on this


so i came up with an idea that might prove semi-effective at generating large amounts of energy that could be used to charge weapon power packs and Armor packs .

So nowdays we have clothing that collects the static-electrical charge and uses it to charge up small devices ( namely I-phone's ect. ) is it possible that in the 2,000 year time advance that something similar has been created but is far more effective ? like being made out of Material that generated more static charge ( but not enough to harm the wearer ) and could safely be collected for use in Armor and weapons ? I know it wouldn't generate much , but do you think with some tweaking that it plausably could power things like Energy Weapons , Tanks and other High Demand energy items ?

I smell another Set up Crusades coming from the Napal States

[Puerto Tyranus]

Yay! Crusades!

[Puerto Tyranus]

...though...how are we going to unbiased-ly do this battle/war? If we had a way to properly maneuver forces on a visual and near-real-time level...with values in attack and defense on each unit and bonuses provided by formation types, morale level, terrain, and numbers to various different values if would be fair-ish, but still, this'll be tough...
