|    Ways to turn mineral to powder more effi    |
|    07 Sep 22 09:37:16    |
      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com               I read 2-3% of the earths energy use goes to powderizing rocks, bringing that       to 1% provides the energy about 150 million people use annually, loading       eentsy and medium chips together then grinding might cause vertex pressure       points to disintegrate        faster causing preferred powder size distributions              Images of mineral grinders I have seen have grinding areas at the perimeter,       perhaps acoustics, among them solitons, could be used to shake sort the middle       to optimize the size of mineral chunks that meet the perimeter to optimize       powder size math        distribution, also, could a central vertical mineral fragmenter stamp the       middle area to make more rock fragments of the right size faster, that is kind       of like 1/4 more minerals ground per machine              I may have read grinding minerals is 2-3% efficient, making explosives an       order of magnitude more affordable might complement grinding to heighten       efficiency, a machine that uses nitrogen from air and a carbon source like co2       could make a continuous        stream of trinitrotoluene, one possibility is a fractal reactor like a       zeolite, a fractal catalyst coated or part of the molecule, cyclodextrin, or a       comparatively higher volume gas centrifuge with catalysts at the membrane,               A reactor that makes trinitrotoluene superaffordably to complement or replace       2-3% efficient mineral grinding, as a technology, a catalytic, sparse at the       medium semiconductor or conductor sponge with a predictable electron traversal       path that although        bulk produced does not overlap much and is a kind of amorphous form, make a       bunch of fractal 1-3 nanometer wide highly conductive semiconductors or       conductors, at a sponge form, optimally react them to put catalytic atoms at       their fractal tips, then coat        them with a solid nonconductive gas permeable coating like custom channel size       PTFE or another polymer, then compress them into shapes, sinter them to       mechanical durability, or just load a column with the catalytic atom tipped       fractal, sparse enough to        omit being a direct conductor with PTFE or other gas permeable polymer       material, the gas permeable polymer sinters to the other polymer coated       fractals, and then when nitrogen and a carbon containing gases (possibly       toluene vapor) are pumped through it,        the mostly non overlapping conductors or semiconductors provide charge at the       fractal tips and the catalytic atoms like Rh or Co or a more affordable       catalyst catalyze the nitrogen being attached to the carbon containing       molecule, at cool temperatures        that minimize risk, the charge density at the fractal tips could be high       enough to function similarly to the (diffetent) ammonia making process       temperature, it is even possible discharge arcing, like carpet and doorknob       plasma bolts, only nanometers big        could provide nanolocal temperature and charge sufficient to get the nitrogen       gas to react with the carbon containing gas or vapor like toluene vapor, the       nitrated carbon chemicals would then travel out of the column from pressure or       vacuum as a        condensible vapor or fluid stream and the cool temperature on site       trinitrotoluene producing reactor could then complement mineral grinders to       powderize minerals more efficiently, benefitting people,              I read the energy the system uses to produce the explosives is at least some       higher than the energy of the explosives themselves, I think I read vegetable       oil actually has more kilojoules per mole than nitro explosives, it is just       that the chemical        motion change at TNT is so rapid when it causes motion from expansion, that it       can disintegrate other things, possibly at $2.00 per gallon at gasoline TNT       could be $4-9 a gallon at 50-22% reactor efficiency or $19 a gallon at 9%       efficiency, also it could        be more affordable than this as electricity, notably off-high-demand       electricity, is more affordable than gasoline,       The use of fractal conductors or semiconductors with catalytic element tips       provides other adjustable things that could benefit the reaction, input       voltage and current and AC frequency, also skipping the hook-up wires, things       like fractals tuned to        absorb electromagnetic energy, EM,, like wireless phone charging could       electrically energize the fractals              If nitroalkanes are explosive that would be even more affordable than TNT to       produce               Has anyone made nitroexplosives from silicone polymers or silicone molecules       (Sitoluene?) as an explosive, it might be less sensitive while still having       full nitrogen explosion energy              Vibration and acoustic stochastics might be tunable               If a 60 decibel mild gentle soliton meets your ear does it transmit almost no       energy, and is much less audible, audio speakers could broadcast to hundreds       of times further areas causing perceived loudness of a speaker to be the same       over an acre which        could benefit concert sound systems              I read they use solitons now at internet fiber optic repeaters, could solitons       or partial 30% solitons be used at WiFi to gain further distances              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        *
