Femto Reactors - Home Based Nuclear Energy

Imagine a reactor unit, fully contained, no larger than a Mac Mini M4 Pro. With a home grid connection to a smart meter and bi directional charging point with a feed in tariff for V2X applications, using a vehicle or home battery store.

Specified for just 1kW continuous output. And for each unit to last 10 years before mandatory return to factory for reprocessing. 

This would require between 5g and 10g of uranium fuel per unit, if using the rankine or stirling cycles for example. It may have to use different thermodynamics in the final design. Whatever is used the device will be continuously trying to get rid up up to 3kW of heat at 30% efficiency. 

Innovation would be delivered by development of a better heat exchanger and efficiency. Ideal innovation would be the invention of a fundamentally new way of converting the fission reaction energy, or whatever may be, to power output, preferably electricity.

Making it modular means it can be stacked for differing sizes of homes and commercial properties. There are only practical limits to this due to space available.

For now, put down any hysteria about safety or waste. This program is asking - if these concerns were fully mitigated, would you be willing to support the idea, all else being equal. 

If not the show is over obviously for political reasons. For example, wind and solar are now huge in sun free and wind challenged nations. So it can be done if the will is there and the state forces it onto the people.

Clearly radiation hysteria and the euphemism we call nuclear waste are not really limiting factors.

Mr. Musk, please put Mars Base on hold, great though that goal is. And deliver this system as soon as possible.

* Note - the term 'femto' comes from scientific notation in standard SI prefixes, in this case, one quadrillionth of something. Or 10e-15. And the term pico which we would have preferred is already used up for generation of electricity of up to several megawatts and we're proposing several kilowatts, 3 orders down.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
