1 Graviton Induced Nuclear Fission troug Electromagnetic Wave Flux Pil Russell, * Jerry Montgomery Nort Carolina Central University, Duram, NC Willowstick Tecnologies LLC, Draper, UT (Dated: June 30, 2007) We explore te possibility of using gravitons to induce nuclear fission in atomic nuclei. Strong fluctuations of te gravitational field ave been observed in te area of ig energy pysics. Te ranges of tese fluctuations are on te order of~10-14 cm. If tese fluctuations can be attributed to te frequency of ig energy particles, ten it follows tat electromagnetic waves migt be stimulated to produce ig energy gravitons, or a graviton pulse, capable of inducing nuclear fission. *Electronic address: cyborlog@yaoo.com Electronic address: jrm@willowstick.com

2 Introduction We begin wit a brief description of a gravitational penomenon noticed in ig energy pysics: Some pysicists tink tat general relativity will be useful on te microscale of ig-energy pysics (were te effects of gravity are usually ignored), e.g., strong fluctuations of te gravitational field ave been detected at very sort distances (10-14 cm). 1 Let us consider a particle interaction event common to te area of researc termed ig energy pysics. Suppose two nucleons, a neutron and a proton, collide in a particle accelerator. If tey ave sufficient kinetic energy tey will fuse, forming a deuteron. In te fusion process a gamma ray will be emitted wit energy equal to te binding energy lost in te fusion of te particles to make a deuteron. Te binding energy is proportional to te missing mass lost during fusion. Tis is because te mass of a proton and neutron is less wen tey are separate tan wen tey fuse to form a deuteron. Te following figure illustrates it conceptually. Figure 1 Binding Energy In te case of te formation of a deuteron, a gamma ray of energy 2.224MeV is emitted. Conversely, if a deuteron absorbs a gamma ray of at least 2.224MeV, it will split te deuteron into te original proton and neutron. Wat is intriguing is te observation tat a gravitational fluctuation as been noted in ig energy pysics. In our following argument, we will consider te fluctuation to be associated wit just suc an event as a particle collision as described above. 1 1 Te Dancing Wu Li Masters, Gary Zukav, General Nonsense, pg. 168, Bantam Books, 1979

3 Empirical Data In our first paper [1] regarding te anomalous acceleration of te Pioneer probes and wit te LAGEOS satellites, we describe te anomaly by te empirical equation: a = [ ]ν c. (1) Te Sun is taken as a black body wit a temperature of approximately 5,800 o K. Te acceleration is proportional to te frequency of te Sun s ligt and not its intensity. Te igest energy potons (tose wit te igest frequency) produce te acceleration noted in te Pioneer probes. In our second paper [2] we used te same concept to sow tat acceleration is proportional to a particles intrinsic frequency, attempting to unify equation (1) to Einstein s equation, E=mc 2. To do so, we substituted te equation [ ] / cλ for mass m, and added one c to preserve dimensional consistency wit equation (1). Tis led to te final equation: Combining wit equation (1) we ave te final expression, a = c 3. (2) cλ a = c = c [ ] ν cλ 3 (3) as an empirical equation tat describes quantized acceleration in terms of electromagnetic waves and particles. In our tird paper, we included an expression for acceleration as proportional to te pase, or angular velocity of electric and magnetic fields, for te final formula Evaluation a = c = c = c [ ] ν [ ħ] ω 3. (4) cλ Let us consider a two body interaction of te fusion of a proton and a deuteron as we did in te introduction. Suppose we associate te gravitational fluctuation noted by Zukav wit suc an interaction. Wat conclusions could we draw about te observed fluctuation? Peraps te most striking ting about te gravity fluctuation is its range. According to general relativity and Newtonian mecanics, te range of gravity is 2

4 infinite 2. For now owever we will remain focused on te observation itself. As mass is te source of a gravitational field, we migt begin by simply associating te fluctuation wit te particles masses, or teir intrinsic frequencies. Since we know tat tere is a decrease in mass during fusion, we may write te relation between te fluctuation and te cange in mass as: a dm =. (5) dt Looking at it from te perspective of frequency, we may also write a = dλ. (6) dt Tis approac itself is patterned after te Law of electromagnetic induction noted by Faraday 3. Instead of te production of a voltage in across a conductor in a canging magnetic field, we ave a gravitational fluctuation proportional to a canging mass. But a gravitational fluctuation proportional to te rate of cange of frequency wit respect to time in terms of particles sould also exist in terms of fields and electromagnetic waves. Tus equation (4) becomes: Graviton Induced Fission a = c = c = c [ ] ν [ ħ] ω 3. (7) c λ Let us consider furter tat te fluctuation as te result of a graviton emitted by te fusion of a proton and neutron. If te emission of a graviton is observed during fusion, te absorption of a graviton of sufficient energy sould induce nuclear fission, splitting a deuteron into is primary components. In te case of te observation noted by Zukav, te sort range of te fluctuation would proibit any practical exploitation of te penomenon. However, te microscale of te fluctuation may be circumvented if we employ electromagnetic waves as te stimulus for ig energy gravitons instead of te particles temselves. A test, in teory, would be sufficient to explore te viability of our proposal. Suppose we allow a gamma ray to fall on a target of U235. Te gravitons associated wit te gamma ray potons would not in temselves be capable of splitting te target s nuclei. However, if we were to cange te frequency of te gamma ray over a sort period of time, ten according to equation (6), a graviton of energy proportional to te rate of cange of te gamma ray frequency wit respect to time would be produced. Suc 3 2 One exception is general relativity; tis does not take into account gravitation due to electromagnetic waves, as te range of a field due to tem would be limited by anyting opaque. 3 Link: ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/electromagnetic_induction

5 a graviton pulse would be absorbed by te nuclei, resulting in fission. Conclusion Wat we ave presented is a cursory evaluation of a very intriguing gravitational penomenon. Te penomenon itself represents an effect tat appears as a connection between general relativity and quantum mecanics, and electromagnetism and gravitation, simply because a gravitational effect as been observed wit a quantum interaction. If suc a gravitational fluctuation can be stimulated toug te influence of electric fields and electromagnetic waves, ten it may also be possible to extract te penomenon from te sort scale of te quantum realm and coerce it into producing macroscopic results. 4
