but i might be ok with a cast iron block with an aluminum cylinder head
no, u don't ...mixed metals expand at different rates when heated
could end up with a locked cylinder when the engine gets hot
@SirW00f most drag strip hemis use the same configuration
such as the 392 and 426 engines
most ford flatheads have it too
ya but they only use it for short periods at a time...not for normal every day usage
plus briggs and stratton IS a flathead engine
its a low revving, low compression engine
i'm more into particle physics
and the 'cold fusion' myth
briggs & stratton flatheads are easier to work with, less parts, and it has more power than a typical 2 stroke kit
using lasers to heat up hydrogen to make it fuse
lasers shift the electron orbits wider than normal by photon charging
@SirW00f theres also muon catalyzed fusion and "bubble fusion"
need massive amounts of pressure to allow such actions to cause hydrogen to fuse into helium or some other material
well there is pyroelectric fusion as well
can make deuterium and tritium from hydrogen via neutron fusion
without needing a few megawatts to be wasted
a laser could theoretically do the trick if it is a nuclear pumped laser or a gamma ray laser
maybe a good compromise is using an X-Ray laser?
was working on a nacer while i was investigated by the gov before got approved for the navy
things i do in my hobby times
a nacer is the neutron version of a laser
i was trying to make a phaser actually
i had a theory that maybe theres a possibility of using tesla coils to trigger fusion reactions?
source material was radium
well tesla coils can create ozone from oxygen
anything is possible
anyway...i'm keeping any research to my self for now since over the decades since i left the navy to even attempt at making a nacer based phaser either met with disappointment or somebody in my family turning my projects into trash or scrap materials while i'm working
What size Briggs engine are you thinking of running?
what about quantum fusion? using quantum forces to initiate nuclear fusion
the thought of it came to mind when i realized spontaneous fission only ocurrs due to quantum tunneling
quantum is alot harder since we don't really know enough about how to control it or even work in those realms apart from marvel movies
I think Nasa has made a phaser that is capable of hand held untethered, but there are those I know that saw first hand . But you guy's are getting beyond me
@Bucko a single cylinder engine that makes 4 to 6 horsepower, the type people put on their bikes
