Mentalita' , atteggiamento e autonomia di pensiero e di azione e' quanto piu' apprezzo in un giovane vota;to a progetti come questo Asgardiano. Alla tua eta' ti assomigliavo, forse anche fisicamente. Oggj, quasi ottantaduenne, stento a riconoscere me stesso. www.mario-ludovico.com

Hi Alessandro Zuffi, Welcome to the Asgardia Forums! We have many discussions and projects happening at the moment. We welcome your ideas. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the terms if you haven’t already. Let us know if you have any questions. Make sure to keep up with Asgardia News and Announcements at

There are many talks about LENR. But I certain about next things: 1) To provide such type of reaction you need something like NIF or JET (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_European_Torus respectively). This technologies works, not good but works. 2) Or you may use muon catalysis for a really "cold fusion", but here is a one big problem. The creation of one muon need 5-10 GeV and reaction with that muon will give only 2 GeV (at present level of technology). I think that this type of reactions is the future source of power for humanity, but there are a lot of technological issues that must be solved before this technology will be common in any part of the world.

That's one way - there are others. LENR is something that's been talked about for a long time, and I've heard rumour o a few feasibly operable reactor designs. It's certainly something that hold potential as productive area of research. Fusion being a lot more sensible than fission. I did find Rossi's E-Cat reactor quite interesting because the energies released and the matter changes suggested fusion - and this was taking place unprotected in a room full of people leaving no neutron trace.

A specific section for people to place their studies, research, projects etc for peer review is a good idea. Maybe not in the forum, the structure is "wrong" - but there's existing open spource solutions that would fit the bill and bolt on in a seamless and modular fashion. It would help starting an archive of knowledge, as much as the critique(including chance for rebuttal. The forum structure could suit this purpose). Both halves crucial for a rounded view. I agree with the "free access" specification, too. This conforms well with founding ethics. This would also give the scientists within our midst the chance to shine and establish ourselves as a center of technical excellence and expertise in all fields... Which in turn will not only strengthen our reputation, but that of our educational system - when we eventually have one. Nuclear weapons and nuclear energy are indeed not the same thing, and there are some misconceptions amongst the uneducated. However, I don't think the "issue" is with this topic, specifically. More being the educational lack leading to the misconceptions. The only possible use we could have for a "weaponised" nuclear system is for the deflection of an inbound asteroid of serious potential to cause the Earth harm... And this would most effective a significant distance off... However, stealing these from their problematic orbits and parking them in a less problematic one has better long term mining prospects, and could double as clearing the solar system of hazardous debris and fueling our expansion. If you intercept far enough out, or on the "right" part of the orbit, you'd need comparatively little deltaV and then can take longer to guide it to a safer place for processing.
