I haven’t posted on FR from Rossi since 3 months after he came around. Either start posting scientific evidence against cold fusion or fuq off. I was posting pro cold fusion articles before Rossi came on the scene, and I said I would be posting pro cold fusion articles after he was gone. So fuq off.

“It’s enough fuel to enable the fire to reach the next target “

Nope.

You are hijacking this thread. If you want to discuss cold fusion start your own thread.

This is a cold fusion thread because the heat required is less than the heat generated at ITER. It is a lukewarm 100Million degree rather than several billion degree temperature thread.

Feel free to ask the mods to determine the difference.

Yes. The microparticles in the air will be the fuel, the oxygen and heat generating those 3 elements of fire. Since the temperature is 5 orders of magnitude greater than ordinary fires, I expect perhaps 3-4 orders of magnitude more damage.

That’s a lot of damage.

A few dozen hydrogen bombs have been set off in the atmosphere, and many more underground. They generated temperatures of the same order of magnitude of those you are concerned about, on the ground, high in the atmosphere, and under the earth.

The idea that the would touch off an atomic conflagration of the atmosphere was analyzed in some detail by Leo Szilard, Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, and others, back in the late '40s and early '50s. They predicted no such phenomenon would occur (actually they told President Truman that the probability was very small). There was in fact no such ignition of the atmosphere. Is that not sufficient evidence for you?

Sorry I didn’t reply to your other ping, got a bit of a health issue going on.

Regarding caucus status, I wasn’t involved and have no clue, it was between JR and the freeper who runs those threads.

IMHO trolling aholery should not be allowed on any thread. And JR made a statement about that I think yesterday, I’ll try to find it and post it.

People can debate or have varying viewpoints without trollery; if they choose the latter, they should have their own thread!

Yes that is sufficient for me.
What would be the damage radius of such a heat outbreak?

Those islands where H-bombs were tested , they were utterly destroyed as well as ships surrounding them. That was purely from the heat, not the gamma radiation afterwards. Loooks to me about a 2-3 mile radius.

Are you willing to stay off our Cold Fusion threads?

I agree to stay on topic.

The largest H-bomb detonated by the United States was Castle Bravo, in 1954. The crater it left in the island of Elugelab (part of the Bikini Atoll) was approximately one mile in diameter, although the surface of the island was effectively erased.

Castle Bravo was about 15 megatons.

The USSR set off a considerably bigger H-bomb in 1961; the Tsar Bomba released around 50 megatons; it was detonated about 2.5 miles above the ground and its fireball was more than five miles in diameter. It destroyed buildings 50 miles away.

It did not set the atmosphere on fire, although the shock wave it released circled the world three times.

And you!

If you don’t like the subject or topic of the thread to the point you become abusive or trollish, stay off it.

Do not harass or pester the mods.

“Then you agree not to harass us on Cold Fusion threads.”

Since there are not any cold fusion threads why do you ask?

just click on the keyword ‘cold fusion’ to see the threads. You have already begun re-polluting them.

Thanks for inviting me!

One of the first comments to you:

“You should log onto one of those qanon threads and throw the same snark around. That is your future.”
