Planet detection by natural laser emission

May 11, 2009

These last years, the search for extrasolar planets has been successful. To date, the astronomers have detected more than 300 extrasolar planets. Among these 300 planets, only ten have been discovered by their own light.

There is perhaps a phenomenon which could facilitate this search for extrasolar planets.

Sonication for fuel cell

March 22, 2009

The fuel cell (H 2 / O 2) are one of the solutions under consideration for a clean automobile propulsion.

However the slowness of the reaction ( H 2 = > 2 H + + 2 e - ) (1) obliges to work at high temperature or to use a metal catalyst on the anode where this reaction is made.

Conversion of solar energy in a mechanical form

July 14, 2008

I propose to you the following conjecture: Is it possible to directly convert solar energy in a mechanical form?

Fusion by large linear theta pinch

June 28, 2008

Could the large linear theta pinch be the solution for thermonuclear energy?

Sonofusion with tritium

June 5, 2008

Is it possible to test the sonofusion with the deuterium-tritium reaction?

Superconductor in inertial fusion targets

May 27, 2008

Inertial fusion tries to make the fusion of deuterium and tritium by implosion of a target irradiated with lasers. This implosion is obtained in an indirect way by the expansion under the impact of lasers of an ablative material that surrounds the mixture D-T. Three important parameters control inertial fusion.

Lithium in inertial fusion targets

May 18, 2008

Has lithium been already tested with D-T fuel in target fusion?

A small addition of lithium in target could perhaps boost the beginning of inertial fusion.
