“I laid out the extraction unit at LRL”
My first reading was that you had laid it out in a post. Now I read that you physically laid it out. If so, please cite the type of filters used to filter out the tritium.
The molecules have different densities.
Centrifugal separation is all that is needed, and all that is done.
The glass beads contain the water that contains a high concentration of the heavy isotopes.
This is not new technology. It was developed in the private laboratory of the late Kip M. Segal, in Ann Arbor Michigan, in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s using mostly cheap military surplus hardware.
Using said junk hardware, Kip achieved more than the national laboratories have with billions, or perhaps a trillion, in public funds.
Laser compression was 100% the product of the genius of Kip Segal.
