Chapter 381 Resonant Frequency
144 grams of cobalt 60 can continuously generate 2.7 kilowatts of power generation.

This is an extremely high power generation efficiency.

You must know that currently only Lucia and America have mastered the comprehensive nuclear battery production process in the world, and the power generation power is extremely impressive.

Using plutonium as the raw material of nuclear batteries and using thermoelectric power generation technology, a nuclear battery device weighing tens of kilograms can only generate a few watts of power.

The characteristic of thermoelectric power generation technology is that the system is simple and rude, but the disadvantage is that the thermal efficiency is very low, only 10% to 20%.

And the compressed air absorbing layer that they inadvertently created in front of them can actually achieve an output power of 2.8 kilowatts and a thermoelectric efficiency of 67%. This unexpected joy made Du Hai tremble with excitement.

While writing a report to report the discovery to the Ministry of Science, Levi asked Du Hai to lead people to re-research.

The key now is to reproduce the experiment and study the principle of power generation.

This discovery immediately alarmed the management of the Science Department.

Even Li Qingye, who has been immersing himself in the study of genetic issues, also received this news.

Through these experiments, we have basically figured out some conditions of the gamma ray generator system, including the best gas to use, the best compression ratio, the best gas flow rate, the thickness of the gas and the metal plate, and so on.

However, the ground furnace nuclear fusion reactor can use a gamma ray power generation system. After all, the ground furnace nuclear fusion reactor is essentially to detonate a miniature hydrogen bomb, which will produce a large amount of gamma rays.

For example, if the heavy-duty exoskeleton armor can be equipped with a ten-kilogram cobalt-60 nuclear battery (containing five kilograms of cobalt 60), the power generation can reach 93.8 kilowatts.

On the contrary, a comprehensive new humanized army can consider equipping a batch of nuclear batteries.

Specifically, the generator mechanism in this experiment is mainly due to the resonant frequency formed by gamma rays and compressed air.

At the same time, another laboratory designed a cobalt-60 nuclear battery system based on these data.

After listening to Du Hai on Diego Garcia Island, he suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."

A group of researchers and engineers are almost bald in the face of these requirements.

In the 1377 laboratory of the Nuclear Power Research Institute, 6 test groups conducted a total of 32 control experiments.

Moreover, after cobalt 60 decays, it will become highly stable nickel 60. Nickel 60 is a non-radioactive element, which is convenient for the disposal of nuclear batteries.

After the redesign, they roughly prepared hundreds of control groups and prepared to test them one by one, trying to figure out the best conditions for the formation of gamma-ray lightning as soon as possible.

After redesigning the experiment.

"The voltage is 3.2-8.6 volts, the current is... the power is 2.617-2.75 kilowatts..."

If cobalt 60 is to be used as a raw material for nuclear batteries, it must not be produced by nuclear explosions, and other solutions can only be used.

However, Du Hai also knows that due to the high risk of cobalt 60, the company will most likely not launch a civilian version casually, and equip a batch for new humans at most.

Suddenly he narrowed his eyes, seemed to think of something, and muttered to himself: "Gamma rays, air... resonance frequency... I understand! That's how it is."

The lightweight exoskeleton currently in use usually needs to be equipped with a bulky ternary compound battery, which causes a part of the power of the exoskeleton to be wasted on supporting the 20 kg battery.

the other side.

After all, there are uncertainties in natural workers. If someone goes crazy and directly takes out the cobalt-60 in the nuclear battery and releases it in the city, it will definitely be a disaster.

Therefore, the main force of nuclear power is still to boil water.

If a cobalt 60 nuclear battery is used, it can be compressed to the level of 2 kg.

As for the gamma ray generator mechanism, can it be applied to other nuclear power plants.

"Report, detected current generation..."

Therefore, it is necessary to set a composite lead plate with a suitable thickness and a protective shell with sufficient strength, while taking into account miniaturization and power generation.

Although he was surprised by this discovery, he did not interfere with the research plan of the Nuclear Power Research Institute, but only asked Sanji Badalear to pay more attention to the report in this regard.

Du Hai immediately communicated with the person in charge of the 1377 laboratory, readjusted the experiment, and prepared to study the currents generated by gamma rays under different gases, compression degrees, flow rates, and metal barrier layers.

Thus, the energy of gamma rays is quickly converted into electrical energy.

And this cobalt bomb experiment accidentally allowed them to discover the formation mechanism of gamma ray lightning.

Of course, not all lightning is excited by gamma rays, only a small part is lightning inspired by gamma rays.

He made a video call with Levi's, Du Hai and others on Diego Garcia Island through the internal communication channel.

But in the interior of the earth, cobalt-60 nuclear batteries are promising, and some special fields need to use self-sustaining energy systems.

Then I told them about my findings and guesses.

"The temperature of the compressed air is 23.4 degrees Celsius, and the flow rate is 12 meters per second..."

Du Hai was thinking about how to quickly produce cobalt-60.

But it can't stand its high thermoelectric efficiency and better energy density.

In the 1377 laboratory at this time.

The previous molten salt power generation system can only absorb part of the light radiation, and the absorption rate of gamma rays is very low. It can only be resisted by the lead plate composite layer, and this part of the energy is wasted.

This is related to the current principle of nuclear power generation. Whether it is nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, the main energy is contained in the released thermal neutrons, not in optical radiation.

Although as a raw material for nuclear batteries, cobalt-60 has a half-life of only 5.27 years, which does not meet the requirements for long-term use of nuclear batteries.

In the field of outer space, perhaps cobalt-60 nuclear batteries are not suitable.

Since this kind of gamma-ray lightning is rare, the time and place of its appearance are full of uncertainties, and human research on this phenomenon is almost blank.

The fast-flowing compressed air and the composite lead plates on both sides form the positive and negative electrodes.

The person in charge of the laboratory widened his eyes: "It's really possible! How does this generate electricity?"

In fact, this phenomenon also exists in nature, that is, after cosmic gamma rays enter the earth's atmosphere, they will turn into lightning.

After all, this is something with super radioactivity, and it is very troublesome to design. Although most of the gamma rays are absorbed through the air resonance frequency, about 0.21% of the gamma rays will still penetrate the gas layer.

half a month later.

The Nuclear Power Research Institute's 1377 laboratory in Hongshawadi is responsible for repeated experiments to see if it can be replicated.

After thinking for a long time, he contacted his colleagues at the Nuclear Power Research Institute and asked them to cooperate with the 1377 laboratory to realize the practical application of cobalt-60 nuclear batteries as soon as possible.

According to the design of the nuclear explosion test site, 144 grams of cobalt-60 was placed in the production area. As the barrier layer was released, a large number of gamma rays and beta rays entered the compressed air absorption layer after passing through the first layer of composite lead plate.

After discussions between Du Hai and Dr. Levi's, it can be used as an auxiliary power generation system, but it is basically impossible to use it as the main power generation system.

Du Hai couldn't stay on Diego Garcia Island any longer. Now that he wanted to return, he wanted to go back and study nuclear batteries.

But before he could make a report, the base chief, Le Gong, brought several senior executives from the defense department over.

Du Hai was dragged to another meeting.

He was at a loss as to the purpose of the Ministry of Defense. After all, the main research team for the cobalt bomb was with Dr. Levi's. What did it have to do with his nuclear power research institute?
