The Neon Snail has been tested since before human existence, but I want to apply the patterns in a slightly different way. I want to direct neutrons into a hydrogen cloud but I must figure out, what ratios of neutrons vs. hydrogen atoms and how much energy will be produced.
So the I start with recipes based on the periodic table. The atomic number tells me how many hydrogen atoms to use in the recipes and the atomic mass tells me the total weight. Knowing the weight I can subtract the protons to find out how many neutrons I will need.
For example if I wanted to make gold I could use 79 Hydrogen Atoms and have a total mass 197, like the most stable isotope of gold. So 197-79 = 118 so using experiments the hole size can be adjusted to be just right.
How much energy will be produced by the reaction? This can be calculated using the famous e=mC squared equation. I capitalized C because it's a constant this improves the readability of problems, but be warned grammar in mathematics is subjective and teachers have their own way of wanting things written.
according to google
the speed of light =
299 792 458 m / s
Gold
Mass of original hydrogen atoms = 79*the mass of a hydrogen atom or 1.00794 u ± 0.00001 u according to google or 79.62726.
The mass of the neutrons is 1 u So the total is 79.62726 u+118 u or 197.62726 u so we subtract the mass of the final product 196.96654 u and get .66072 u
e=.66072 u*299 792 458 m / s
1.9807887e+13 or 1.9807887*(10 to the 13th power) atomic mass unit/m/s. Chemists use moles to make conversions easier so instead of using atomic mass units we can make a whole mole of gold and have 1.9807887e+13 g/m/s is system international units even...
That looks like a lot of energy, maybe we should make a batch of Osmium (the 76er) because it is very dense. 192 looks like a stable form. So we have 76 hydrogen atoms to 116 neutrons.
Osmium
Mass of original hydrogen atoms = 76*the mass of a hydrogen atom or 1.00794 u ± 0.00001 u according to google or 76.60344.
The mass of the neutrons is 1 u So the total is 76.60344 u+116 u or 192.60344 u so we subtract the mass of the final product 191.9614807 u and get 0.6419593 u
e=0.6419593 u*299 792 458 m / s
192454556.483 u/m/s or 1.924556.483*(10 to the 8th power.)
Neon
Maybe we want some Neon 20 that is 10 Hydrogen Atoms to 10 neutrons
Mass of original hydrogen atoms = 10*the mass of a hydrogen atom or 1.00794 u ± 0.00001 u according to google or 10.0794
The mass of the neutrons is 1 u So the total is 10.0794 u+10 u or 20.0794 u so we subtract the mass of the final product 19.9924401754 u and get .0869598246 u
e=.0869598246 u*299 792 458 m / s
26069899.5641 u/m/s or 2.660698995641*(10 to the 7th power.)
