Legal Disclaimer Legal information enclosed. Please read.


I tried to base my discussions and my pictures here on real working principles. I don,t know if any of my own personal designs work because it is not legal for me to build and test them. Anything here that says "homemade" or says "without" is what I designed myself(Never built or tested). The rest of the information and pictures here is from other creditable sources that I could obtain else where.

The homemade designs will take one of two things to make them work. 1 Enriched material 2. A simulated fusion chamber. With enriched material that takes time but that can be done from home with a neutron source and maybe plenty of electricity depending on how your enriching it. With un-enriched material it can be instantly enriched with neutrons but that takes great heat and pressure from fusion tempatures and a neutron source called a sparkplug. I have included both ways to make bombs here. Enriching material can be done with a device to give off neutrons. Without enrichment we need a neutron source with a makeshift homebuilt fusion reactor. The magnetic fields in the fusion container set off the nuclear weapon. If using a fusion plasma it has to be at least a million degrees to work. I recommend using the focus fusion reactor to heat the secondary plasma with its particles since those particles can come out at up to 1 billion degrees along with two other sources of heat. Magnetic compression and ohmic(electrical) heating. We could use radio frequency heating but I don,t think that would be necessary unless it is just wanted. Basically in a nutshell this is what you need for homemade nuclear weapons.

Did you read that in the National Enquirer or did you find it in some of your other invaluable sources of information?

Tonight I am reading the first 25 chapters of the new James Patterson book "Kill me if you can" that is coming out on August 29th. Here is the link if you want to read those chapters too:

Read Robert Parker's last Western, Blue-Eyed Devil, yesterday afternoon.

Highly recommend all 4 of the Virgil Cole & Everett Hitch novels to anyone who likes Westerns -- or to anyone who doesn't think they like Westerns, but has enjoyed Parker's Spenser, Jesse Stone, and/or Sunny Randall.

Reading Valkyrie: The North American XB-70. Actually a combination of a story about a very interesting heavy bomber concept that produced only two planes, coupled with some good insight into the late 50's early 60's military industrial complex and when it started to get closer scrutiny. I like airplanes, so.....

I just finished Alone in the Appalachains by Monique Dykstra, about a city girl hiking the International Appalachian Trail from Mount Katahdin to Cap Gaspe, Quebec. I've read a lot of the books written by Appalachain Trail thru hikers, so Dyksta's book is very good for anyone who likes hiking, espcially the Appalachain Trail.

Just finished the Confession by Grisham and The Father of All Things by Ted Bissell.

Wish I had skipped them both
I blame Obama and his profligate, socialist, liberal tax-and-spend expand-the-universe ways.
At least he can do is a public option for health care.
