B SABBATI ITER - SABBATO SECUNDO PRIMO 667 Papia; sed forte vitio scriptorum sic erratum est sicut et hodie multi errant legentes Sabbato pro Sabath Zacharie i (7) ubi vera littera est hec, «In die xx et iiii undecimi mensis 5 Sabath", ubi dicit glosa, «Sabath interpretatur virga". Item per aliam glosam patet quod sit Februarius, ubi dicitur « Merito hoc mense videntur Iudaico populo que sequuntur, quia, sicut Februarius est acerrimus in frigore hiemis et sicut xxiiii die mensis, luna deficiente in tenebras, obscuriorem 10 habet noctem, sic populus, cui hec nuntiabantur, ex maiore sui parte in Medis et Chaldeis et Assiriis exulabat, quasi ceco et perpetuo noctis et frigoris horrore depressus". Illud idem probatur per textum, qui dicit «undecimi mensis", Sabath enim, id est Februarius, undecimus est apud Hebreos, sicut 15 ostensum est supra ubi exponitur Adar, ubi ponuntur no­ mina et ordo mensium apud Hebreos. SABBATI ITER dicitur mille passus ultra quos non licebat Iudeis ire in die Sabbati Actuum i (12). SABBATO SECUNDO PRIMO Luce vi a (1) sic exponitur in Historiis (1572), «'In secundo sabbato primo cum Iesus transiret per sata' etc. vel in secundo sabbato a primo, de quo precessit sermo. Vel est una dictio, quam dicit Lucas 5 deuteron proton, nos 'secundo primum'. Hoc est autem sab­ batum quod discipuli non observabant. Ideo secundum vo­ cavit ut significaret spirituale sabbatum iam inchoari et le­ galia cessatura. Est enim sabbatum secundo primum spi­ rituale, id est superius inferiori legali, scilicet quod factum 10 est de secundo primum.

Vel sunt due dictiones et di­ cuntur secundum et primum tempore, quia et ante legem ig sancti patres spiritualiter sabbatizaverunt et post, legali sab­ bata interposito". Glosa Luce vi (i) sic exponit, «Diem quo sabbati littera solvi cepit deuteron proton, id est secundo primum, sabbatum vocat per hoc innuens observantiam le­ galis sabbati cessaturam et naturalis sabbati libertatem, que 20 usque ad Moysi tempora ceterorum dierum similis erat, resti­ tuendam, qua credentes per gratiam septiformis spiritus a malis operibus vacant. Sabbatum ergo gratie, ad distinctio­ nem legalis sabbati, dicitur secundo primum, id est pri­ mum secundo prelatum, id est superius et dignius inferiori 2g sabbato legali, vel ordine temporis quia et ante legem hoc sabbatum ita a patribus agebatur sicut et nunc agitur a nobis. Vel secundum primum potest dici ut unum idemque Novi Testamenti sabbatum sit et secundum, quia post legale a nobis observatur, et primum, qui ante decreta legis a iustis 30 observabatur antiquis ". Et dicit Interlinearis quod secundo- primum potest esse una dictio vel due ". SABBATISMUS dicitur sabbati observantia vel feriatio sive requies. Unde ad Hebreos iiii g (9), «relinquitur sabbatismus populo dei", glosa «relinquitur", id est reservatur, «populo dei sabbitismus". «Id est plene quietis feriatio, iocunditas g significata per sabbatum quo requievit dominus, et in lege observabatur.

SABBATUM expositum est ubi exponitur neomenia cum aliis festis legalibus. Et, sicut dicit Huguitio (r. v. Sabeth), sab­ batum dicitur «a sabbe, quod est vii secundum Hebreos, vel a sebo, quod lingua Syrorum dicitur vii«. Et nota quod 5 « septima dies septimane et ipsa septimana dicitur sabbatum. Unde«, Luce xviii c (12), «'Ieiuno bis in sabbato', id est in septimana«. Unde Iudei solebant ita computare dies: prima sabbati, id est prima dies septimane, secunda sabbati, tertia sabbati et sic usque ad sabbatum, cuius nomen non mutatur 10 sed dicitur sabbatum simpliciter. Vel dicitur sabbatum sabba­ torum per excellentiam aliorum dierum qui sabbata appel­ lantur. Unde in Compoto (De tewip. iv) ubi agitur de nomi­ nationibus dierum dicitur, « Silvester ferias et Hebreus sab­ bata dicit«.

  • The Fork in the Road to Electric Power from Fusion US Navy Compact
    The Fork in the Road to Electric Power From Fusion US Navy compact fusion reactors Peter Lobner, 1 February 2021 1. Background For at least the past 40 years, the US Navy has been funding fusion power research and development in considerable secrecy. In this article, we’ll take a brief look at the following US Navy fusion programs, focusing on the two most recent programs. • LINUS - pulsed stabilized liquid liner compressor (SLC) • Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR, aka cold fusion) • Polywell fusion - inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) • NIKE & Electra krypton fluoride direct-drive laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) • Plasma compression fusion device (2019) • Argon fluoride direct-drive laser ICF (2020) 2. LINUS - pulsed stabilized liquid liner compressor (SLC) In the 1970s, this Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)-sponsored project developed and tested several pulsed stabilized liquid liner compressor (SLC) machines: LINUS-0, SUZY-II and HELIUS. A plasma is injected into a void space in a flowing molten lead-lithium liner. The liquid liner is then imploded mechanically, using high- pressure helium-driven pistons. The imploding liner compresses and adiabatically heats the plasma to fusion conditions. While the SLC concept was abandoned by the US Navy in the 1970s, it was revived in the 2000s as the basis for the small fusion reactor designs being developed by Compact Fusion Systems (US) and General Fusion (Canada). 3. Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR, aka cold fusion) From the mid 1990s to at least the mid-2000s the US Navy sponsored research into cold fusion. You’ll find a list of cold fusion papers by Navy researchers from NRL, China Lake Naval Weapons 1 The Fork in the Road to Electric Power From Fusion Laboratory, and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) here: https://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/?page_id=952 4.

  • Simulation of a Device Providing Nuclear Fusion by Electrostatic Confinement, with Multiplasma
    1 Simulation of a device providing nuclear fusion by electrostatic confinement, with Multiplasma Copyright © 2018 Patrick Lindecker Maisons-Alfort (France) 22th of July 2018 Revision B Revision B: replacement of the term « efficiency » by « yield » to avoid an ambiguity and the aneutronic fusion H+ <-> B11+ taken into account. 1. Goal To design your own electrostatic confinement nuclear fusion reactor. It is addressed to people interested by nuclear fusion, having a good general culture in physics (and who are patient because simulations can be long). It is set aside the fact that your project is physically achievable or not. 2. Warning This design will be just for the « fun » or from curiosity, because even if the calculations done by Multiplasma are as serious as possible, in the limit of the knowledge of the author (who is not a nuclear physicist but a generalist engineer), of course, nobody is going to build your nuclear reactor… Otherwise, none checking has been made by another person and the program development does not follow any quality assurance process (so there are probably a lot of errors). It is just a personal program made available to those interested by this subject. 3. Brief explanations of a few of the terms used: Deuterium (D or D2) / Tritium (T or T2): these are hydrogen isotopes comprising, besides one proton, either one neutron (Deuterium) or 2 neutrons (Tritium). As other elements, they are susceptible to produce fusions by collisions. The Deuterium is relatively abundant, in sea water, for example. It constitutes 0.01 % of hydrogen. The tritium is naturally present at traces 2 amounts but it is produced (as a gaseous effluent) by fission nuclear centrals, in very small quantities.

  • Thermonuclear AB-Reactors for Aerospace
    1 Article Micro Thermonuclear Reactor after Ct 9 18 06 AIAA-2006-8104 Micro -Thermonuclear AB-Reactors for Aerospace* Alexander Bolonkin C&R, 1310 Avenue R, #F-6, Brooklyn, NY 11229, USA T/F 718-339-4563, [email protected], [email protected], http://Bolonkin.narod.ru Abstract About fifty years ago, scientists conducted R&D of a thermonuclear reactor that promises a true revolution in the energy industry and, especially, in aerospace. Using such a reactor, aircraft could undertake flights of very long distance and for extended periods and that, of course, decreases a significant cost of aerial transportation, allowing the saving of ever-more expensive imported oil-based fuels. (As of mid-2006, the USA’s DoD has a program to make aircraft fuel from domestic natural gas sources.) The temperature and pressure required for any particular fuel to fuse is known as the Lawson criterion L. Lawson criterion relates to plasma production temperature, plasma density and time. The thermonuclear reaction is realised when L > 1014. There are two main methods of nuclear fusion: inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). Existing thermonuclear reactors are very complex, expensive, large, and heavy. They cannot achieve the Lawson criterion. The author offers several innovations that he first suggested publicly early in 1983 for the AB multi- reflex engine, space propulsion, getting energy from plasma, etc. (see: A. Bolonkin, Non-Rocket Space Launch and Flight, Elsevier, London, 2006, Chapters 12, 3A). It is the micro-thermonuclear AB- Reactors. That is new micro-thermonuclear reactor with very small fuel pellet that uses plasma confinement generated by multi-reflection of laser beam or its own magnetic field.

  • Experiments on DD Fusion Using Inertial Electrostatic Confinement
    Acta Physica Universitatis Comenianae Volume LIII (2016) 7181 Experiments on D-D Fusion Using Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) Device in the Laboratory Exercises on Plasma Physics at the Comenius University* Michal Stano, Michal Raèko Department of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University, Mlynska dolina F2, 842 48 Bratislava, Slovak republic [email protected] Abstract: Experiments using a small scale nuclear fusion reactor, known as fusor or Inertial Electro- static Confinement (IEC) device, are presented. Fusion of deuterium is achieved by acceleration for deuterium nuclei in a high voltage low pressure electrical discharge. Rate of fusion reaction is studied for discharge voltage of up to 32 kV and discharge power of 80 W by detection of the generated neutrons. Detection rates of up to 1.9 s1 are achieved using a moderated 6LiI(Eu) scintillation detector. Maximum total neutron flux generated by the device is estimated to 23200 neutrons per second, corresponding to 2.7´108 W of power released by the fusion reactions. Experiments at reduced discharge voltage of 20 kV are included in laboratory excercises on plasma physics held at the Comenius University. 1. Introduction Controlled nuclear fusion has been a field of intense research for more than last 50 years. The motivation for this research is to create a clean and inexhaustible source of energy powered by fusion of heavy hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium. Although deute- rium is relatively abundant element on Earth, representing 0.0156 % of all hydrogen at- oms, no current technology can exploit its potential [1]. In order to create conditions for nuclear fusion, the nuclei must overcome the electric repulsion and approach each other close enough to come within the range of the nuclear force.

  • Compact Fusion Reactors
    Compact fusion reactors Tomas Lind´en Helsinki Institute of Physics 26.03.2015 Fusion research is currently to a large extent focused on tokamak (ITER) and inertial confinement (NIF) research. In addition to these large international or national efforts there are private companies performing fusion research using much smaller devices than ITER or NIF. The attempt to achieve fusion energy production through relatively small and compact devices compared to tokamaks decreases the costs and building time of the reactors and this has allowed some private companies to enter the field, like EMC2, General Fusion, Helion Energy, Lockheed Martin and LPP Fusion. Some of these companies are trying to demonstrate net energy production within the next few years. If they are successful their next step is to attempt to commercialize their technology.

  • Energy Devices and Processes Generally Suppressed
    Energy Devices and Processes Generally Suppressed Strategic Overview of Energy Technology Suppression Introduction Research shows that over the past 75 years a number of significant breakthroughs in energy generation and propulsion have occurred that have been systematically suppressed. Since the time of Tesla, T. Townsend Brown and others in the early and mid-twentieth century we have had the technological ability to replace fossil fuel, internal combustion and nuclear power generating systems with advanced non-polluting electromagnetic and electro-gravitic systems. The open literature is replete with well-documented technologies that have surfaced, only to later be illegally seized or suppressed through systematic abuses of the national security state, large corporate and financial interests or other shadowy concerns. Technologically, the hurdles to achieve what is called over- unity energy generation by accessing the teeming energy in the space around us are not insurmountable. Numerous inventors have done so for decades. What has been insurmountable are the barriers created through the collusion of vast financial, industrial, oil and rogue governmental interests. In short, the strategic barriers to the widespread adoption of these new electromagnetic energy-generating systems far exceed the technological ones. The proof of this is that, after many decades of innovation and promising inventions, none have made it through the maze of regulatory, patenting, rogue national security, financial, scientific and media barriers that confront the inventor or small company.
