How to stop the depleted uranium ammunition: build thousand of bessler wheels

[path_finder]

As you know the uranium is the most dense material on earth (density = 18,9 Kg/dm3)
A volume equal to a milk bottle is more heavier than a 10 years kid.
Today the only way for the nuclear industry to waste this residue, is to sale it to the ammunition industry.
The perforation power of these new shells is based on the fact that the depleted uranium contained in the point is vaporized into a plasma at more than 3000 degrees Celsius, therefore contaminating the air and the ground. In the standard conditions it is harmful for the human body (not to close from).
Fore more details you can see this video at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 7681767408

By using depleted uranium, Bessler would have a momentum SIX times stronger...
Unfortunately he did not disposed at that time of this remarkable technology.

Your assumption only holds true if the volume to weight ratio of Bessler's wheel isn't determined by a relatively fixed or constant underlying physical principle. If such a principle is in fact at work inside the wheel then the use of heavier internal weights would necessitate an equally greater wheel volume to lift them.

I like the idea but no. I don't want to have to wear a radiation suit to work on wheels. LOL

[MrTim]

That, and the mega-health care plan you'll need for the people machining the S-U weights. I'd just stick with lead, gold, or tungsten.... ;)

[path_finder]

Dear AB Hammer and Mr Tim,
Thanks for your comments.
Just dig a big hole in the rear side of your garden, and build the wheel inside.
Cover eventually with a lead plate : the radiation rate will not be greater than your luminescent arm clock.
Meanwhile the contamination of the air and ground elsewhere will decrease.
My concern was only to propose a reduction of the depleted uranium weapons.

Dear ovvyus,
Thanks for your comment.
You forget an important point: the ratio between the global (M + m) mass of the wheel and the mass m of the moving weights, say m divided by (m+M).
If today this ratio is 1/2 per example (if the mass of the weights is equal to the mass of the wood frame of the wheel), the fact to replace these weights by some new in uranium will give you a ratio much more close to ONE. Remember that Bessler said he had to reduce the mass of the frame as low as possible.
For a fixed size the maximum of torque is obtained for a negligible frame. This is still valuable for any size of the wheel.

[ovyyus]

path_finder, I did not forget the mass of the frame, I simply discounted it. I was referring to the possibility of a physical principle at work within the wheel which might determine a relatively constant weight to wheel volume ratio. If that is so then increasing the mass of the weights, by making them from a heavier material, would necessitate an equal increase in wheel volume in order for the physical principle to lift the heavier weights.

Hmm... I've never heard that quote from Bessler. Can you tell me where it is from?

Perhaps Mr. Bessler should have used this? ;-
The Heaviest Element Known to Science
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.z
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.


When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Dear Jim_Mich,
http://www.besslerwheel.com/explanations.html
(line #7 of the paragraph entitled 'The wheel was wound up')
I remember this Hitchcock's movie ('Lamb to the Slaughter') where a woman kills her husband with a deep frozen leg of lamb.
The police detective (invited for dinner by her) said: 'I presume we should have the weapon of the crime under the nose'...
We can often say the same for the bessler wheel.

[genmurphy]

What about the idea of using the gold of the gold stock reserve ? Like this, it will have a double use...

[path_finder]

Dear genmurphy,
This is an excellent idea.
Instead to have tons of gold sleeping in the underground of all banks, it could be useful to install here some batteries of Bessler Wheels and just dispose the ingots in boxes inside the wheels, allowing a substantial share in the banknote printout process and an improvement of the crisis by a best circulation of money.

P_F, hi.
I like to read you, a surprizing and original thinker!
Be sure that I read you with interest, looking about the news coming out-of-the-box! :)
BTW, I still prefere a 3x bigger elements with the old good iron, than uranium, gold and/or governementium.
Cheers!

Dear murilo,
There is an element really common on earth, with an acceptable density : WATER.
Please continue your pertinent reflexion, and build a wheel 9x oversized (than for gold): you obtain about the size of the Bessler wheels..
Now ask yourself why Bessler covered his wheel with oilskined cloth...to protect the witnesses against the water projections!...
WATERPROOF! that it's the key word...
I hear some laughs in the room.
But it's not ridiculous.
Let's think about the way to lift up some can half filled with water.
Since Archimedes we didn't made better.

[broli]

Governmentium sounds really cool.

Btw path_finder water is hard to keep quiet. Don't you think at least one witness would have pointed a sound of water?
