Cold Fusion Bomb (Taka, look here)

OOC:I'm researching this for a ally, Taka, and I myself will most likely use this rarely.

IC: Let me start off by saying this, "The term "cold fusion" was a misnomer applied to some of the very early and crude work in new energy technologies. Because the early experiments could not be replicated, there was much criticism of the field."

Therefore I hope that this research will blow the field wide open.

AlsoI do not know everything, and that is why I must research, so, let's get started.

When a bomb goes off it has a reaction (obviously) but for that reaction needs and activation energy, and regular bombs activate with some type of activation energy (AE). That is where the problem rests. If you look at the image below the red line represents the activation energy needed in regular bombs.

The green line is what we have finally acvheived through years and years of research.

Let me elaborate.

Regular bombs take up so much energy that when it explodes it is losing some of it's energy just activating it. When a catalyst is present within the bomb it has more energy to use for the explosion.

Below is a picture of a normal catalyst.

What we are creating is a new kind of catalyst that reverses the actions of the explosion, and instead of heat, a great state of cold.


Below is the recreated catalyst that reverses the outcome of the bomb.

When this catalyst is put into a specially formulated bomb it must be handled very carefully becauase after all, a catalyst is something that makes something else react quicker.

When the bomb is dropped on a hard surface a loud explosion can be heard from hundreds of miles away, but there is now blast, no heat, just an explosion of cold.

This bomb was tested in a deserted area within Daikerta's boarders, and once the bomb was dropped from the plane and it hit the ground, there was a reported circle of 250 miles wide was measured at absolute 0 and faded (as expected) as you got farther from the point of the explosion. The spot didn't return to normal temperature for 9 days, the cold killed everything within that 250 mile radius, all animals and plants, no humans were present.

OOC: Just a note, you can't get colder than absolute zero, -459 degrees F or -273 degrees C. just a correction from a Physics fan, :D . I wonder if it is possible to reverse a blast wave and cause a vacuum? Better start researching!

OOC: Maybe you should just say that this bomb sets the temperature to 0 Kelvin... good ol' Kelvin based off of where absolute zero starts!

OOC:Well, Im an idiot and should have known that, with how much RL research I did on this.

And I have thought about that vacuum explosion, or inplosion, never really acted on it.

theoreticaly, when atoms hit absolute Zero, they should stop moving compeltly, including the electron shells. Woudln't that essetialy atomize whatever got hit? you konw, turn it into a very find dust, mear atoms large?

You cannot reach absolute zero. You can come DAMN close, but you cant reach it.

And if the superstring theory is true, that means the matter would just cease to exist if you managed to do that.

But how are you going to get your bomb to absorb all the surrounding energy? Where does it all go?

It would have to work much in the same way as a black hole, only it would pull in thermal energy and not matter. You would need "anti-energy" so to speak, a pull, not a push. I'm not a physisist, so I honestly can't go much further into detail than that.

Theoretically, from extrapolating graphs of temperature against volume of a gas, once the gas reached absolute zero, it would have no volume. The coldest it is possible to reach is only around a billionth of a Kelvin, and that has to be done using rapid pressure variations.

To cool something down, it has to either be touched to something colder than it, and seeing as how space is at around 2-3 Kelvin, that wont be easy; or it has to be rapidly expanded in volume. Doing that with one bomb, sounds a little bit impossible.

how can cold fusion work, you need massive heat for a fusion reaction?

That's what the catalyst does, is reverses the energy needed.
