The reasonable man adapts himself to the

world; the unreasonable one persists in trying

to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all

progress depends on the unreasonable.

George Bernard Shaw(1856 1950)

Scientists, therefore, are used to dealing with doubtand uncertainty. All scientific knowledge is uncertain.This experience with doubt and uncertainty isimportant. I believe that it is of very great value, andone that extends beyond the sciences.

I believe that to solve any problem that has never beensolved before, you have to leave the door to the

unknown ajar. You have to permit the possibility thatyou do not have it exactly right. Otherwise, if you havemade up your mind already, you might not solve it.

1] USpopulation: 4%or 1/25thof the worlds population.

2] USoil consumption: 25%or 1/4thof the worlds oilextracted out of the ground.

3] Global Standards of Living are conserved because Earth is

a closed system. US Standard of Living [SoL] is fueled by theglobal availability of oil. If the rest of the worldled by China &Indiatried to achieve our SoL there would have to be morethan 5 more Earthsworth of oil to do it. Conversely,maintenance of US SoL impoverishes the world.

Why do anything?

1] Reverse decline.Convert the thermal hydrocarboneconomy to a real alternative & clean up pollution.

2] More.Make more electricity & money than is

possible under the thermal hydrocarbon paradigm.

3] Jobs.Vastly increase job opportunities in the

private sector by increasing energy mobility.

Well consider even outlandish ideas as long as theydont violate the 2ndLaw of thermodynamics.

16/64

What can we do?

1] Innovate. We must innovate an alternative to oilthat outperforms it.

2] Fact. The renewable alternativesincluding

thermal nuclearperform only 1/25thas well as oil.

3] New idea. The only viable alternative to oil is a

new way of conceptualizing nuclear resources.


17/64

What can we do?

4] Why. Thermal nuclear performs worse thanthermal coal electricity generation.

5] Fact. 1/560thof the nuclear resources is wasted.

6] New idea. Convert the other 559/560ths of thenuclear resources while generating more electricity

directly from the nuclear interactions themselves.


18/64

What can we do?

7] How. Mimic what Earth has been doing for 4.5billion years & harvest electricity by induction.

8] Fact. Earths magnetic field is the only remaining

viable one of the rocky planets in the solar system.

9] New idea. Figure out why Earth is unique & we

figure out how to make a new nuclear technology.

Why is Earth unique?

1] Why. Because it accumulated the lions share ofnuclear elements during formation.

2] Fact. Every nuclear interaction produces a

strange magnetic package.

3] New idea. This is unconventionally magnetizing

the interior materials.


29/64

Why is Earth unique?

4] How. More than half of Earths interior heat comesfrom nuclear interactions which drives its motions.

5] Fact. The Principles of Self-Organization, Least

Action & Nature Abhors a Gradient are at work.

6] New idea. This outlandish idea does not violate

the 2ndLawit validates it.


30/64

32/64

Can we mimic it?

1] Why. If you think of Earth as the rotating magnetin a generator this would be our new technique.

2] Fact. The interior motions are organizing Earths

unconventional magnetism into a magnetic field.

3] New idea. Use this as the model for a new fully-

scalable nuclear electricity generation technology.


33/64

Can we mimic it?

4] How. Make a mechanical architecture that isdynamic and produces a spheroidal magnetic field.

5] Fact. The Fleming Right Hand Rule is the key.

6] New idea. Think in terms of thermal and densitygradients interchangeability & apply stratigraphy.

Temperature Gradient gravityinstability convection

Density Gradient gravityinstability convection


36/64

If we look at the interior twothings should be noted:

1] Temperature gradients self-organize into discreteshells.

2] Density gradients self-organizeinto discrete shellsas well. Densitycould be thought of as materialqualities related to viscosity: liquidas stiff to solid & pressure.


37/64

Density Gradient gravity instability convectionas it evolves over time with sufficient horizontal

freedom of motion: Side/Side accretion.

Density Gradient gravityinstability convection as

torsional Up/Down Welling.

40/64

How might we make amechanical device that mimics

Side-to-Side accretion? All weneed do is think of a sphere with3 axes of rotation 90to eachother: x, y, z.Then shells could

be rotated with eachsuccessively smaller shellmimicking greater density byincreasing thickness

We need to think beyond heat. We need to movebeyond burning upor blowing up for that matter

things to accomplish useful work in our societies.

The mess associated with thermal nuclear power mustbe cleaned up. This technology will end contributing to

that nightmare & can be used for its cleanup.

Lets together take the first step forward.

Let me end by telling you a little story. Boeing & Airbusare imagining the future 2050. They both say we have to

pursue biofuels for the futureand we dobut they

both show planes harvesting biochemoelectromagnet-

ism from passengers to augment the power systems ofthe plane of the future. They dont show the propulsors.

They say we cant make an all-electric plane, can we?Theyre being too cute by more than half.

If it waddles, swims , quacks &flies like a duck


57/64

Its a duck.

Theyve already designed the all-electric plane of the

future. They just have no idea how to power it.

Now they can. Twoone primary & one backup

magnetoelectricity generators driven by nuclearelements will power their plane designs. Along with awhole host of other applications. We just need to prove

& build it.

59/64

I sound pretty certain of myself, dont I?

You might be asking yourself, didnt he start out with a

Dick Feynman quote about uncertainty?

Yes, I did. But you will not find a more committed man

to ideas than Dick. As you wont with me either .For, while we mean what we say & we can be heldaccountable for what we say, we are not stuck with

what we say.


60/64

Please dont confuse confidence with certainty.Dick &I are confident & humble at the same time in the

way that the following quote captures.

Reevaluate your conclusions when the evidence

changes. ... weigh decisions with a supple mind and be

comfortable with nuance and uncertainty.Craig Mullaney

Is it possible to use something that has not beenrigorously proven, i.e., that has not been derived by

ironclad logic from certain basic assumptions?

In physics, the answer is an unqualified yes.

Two books are in the pipeline for publication. Both are inassociation with Dr. Clayton Crockett of UCA.

The first is due out in spring of 2012 which incorporates mycontributions to Crockett on Gilles Deleuzes Difference &Repetitiontitled Deleuze Beyond Badiou: SINGULARITY, MULTIPLICITY,& THE EVENT 2012.

The second is due out in summer or fall of 2012 which is co-authored with Crockett & Dr. Jeffrey Robbins titledThe NewMaterialism: HOW THE EARTH BECOMES WHO IT IS 2012.

its worth it. You canunderstand it if you apply yourself.
