ZPEnergy.com - Releasing Energy Stored in Radioisotopes

From "Nu Energy Research Laboratories": Good Day Everyone!

Triggered Nuclear Isomer power is being reported as being a new development in the field of Nuclear Physics. http://www.utwatch.org/oldnews/wp_isomer_3_28_04.htmlBest

This is not a new concept to me and was not new to T. H. Moray. Radioisotopes are, essentially, intra-atomic energy storage units. Their nucleons can randomly decay on their own, and have half-lives. They can be excited to higher energy levels to trigger them into releasing their stored energy but everyone is going about this the wrong way. It has been speculated by some scientists that by bombarding radioisotopes with gamma rays their release of energy can be triggered on demand. It has been proven that this will not occur with hafnium-178 as recent media hype has reported.

The utilization of gamma energy has been proposed to remediate nuclear waste.

It is correct that the half-lives of nuclear waste radioisotopes can be accelerated but it takes a huge gamma ray device to accomplish this and enormous amounts of energy. I pointed out to Paul Brown and others that it will take more energy than what comes out of the proposed gamma ray method. It is not a practical method because of the energy cost involved.

A "cold fusion" scheme has also been suggested.

My research indicates that this method is a misconception. What is actually occurring is that the radon gas has been removed from the radioisotope. Actual remediation does not occur because the radon gas is completely regenerated in 28 days! The alteration of the parent isotope does not occur with this radon gas filtering method.

Researchers have the right idea to release the energy that is stored in radioisotopes but they have the wrong triggering mechanism! My research indicates that nuclear precession is the correct triggering mode but who is paying attention?

Radioisotopes are immensely dense energy storage devices, with power densities per unit of weight reaching a theoretical energy threshold near that of low level fusion reactions.
