Nuclear and Electrostatic questions for people who may be on here.

There are a lot of smart and highly accomplished people in this area, and a few may just happen to use this site.

I was thinking about Ionocraft, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? I also had questions for anyone well versed in nuclear power. I specifically was wondering if neutrons released during fission and their subsequent decay could be used to both ionize gases in the environment, and provide released H+ to act as an Anode in a battery system to directly create electrical power rather than just heat. In addition, I was wondering if any released alpha particles could be contained magnetically to keep them in their Ionized states and used as a mass for propulsion. Lastly I know that a super-conductive material like Iron-based superconductors will prevent penetration by weak magnetic fields, but does anyone know what constitutes a weak magnetic field. I know that these are really weird questions and I am probably coming at them wrong but I was looking for help and I don't know of any science message boards that aren't member based, really pretentious, or overly technical.

Thanks in advance.

Fortunately for you, I have two PhDs from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, one in nuclear engineering and the other in elementary particle physics.

The answer to your question is....



....consult Yahoo Answers.

See the 'High Energy, Nuclear, Particle Physics' subdirectory.

Sorry, just saw your non-member-based condition. You should join, though. Nonexistent spam mail. Incredibly useful and interesting information and people.

Sorry, but this place is a cesspool.

Thank you. That link to the physics forum was very useful.

We deal with fisting here, not fission.
