you might have to pressurize the thing slightly in order to keep the salt flowing smoothly.

in a zero g environment, it'd be simpler just to have the thing be an all-in-one counterweight and have your craft spin with it

weird, guess i need the full link?

should i feel bad that i'm distracted by the cute asian chick's absolutely amazingly sexy british voice?
i'm having trouble concentrating here

>>3923186
oh, i meant
>you are german
is now an INSULT

>>3923175
i guess i'm too much of a hopeful idealist, eh?
>>3923177
EXACTLY

>>3923170
that smell suspiciously of covering up important information, guy.
don't do that, confront it head on

>>3923153
i will never stop making fun of them for that
i mean shit, just look at this

most of those are relatively short lived and are captured by the vacuum distillation process where they can cool down
hell you could probably have them dump into a lead box and slap a heat sink on the bitch to cool it down. the amounts produced at any one time are small enough for that to work.

even the longer lived fellows aren't that much of a problem because
1) longer lived = less radiation, especially non-harmful if they aren't absorbed by your body (low radio-toxicity)
2) trapped by the filtering process anyway.

i mean even in a terrorist attack scenario, the molten salt would trap most of the bad stuff anyway.

i like in southern mississippi, what now?
man, they're really nice people and happy people, but they are duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb

>But if you read my omegle pic, you'll realize that most people don't have an education, and even some of us who do, like me, barely know what we are talking about or how to explain it.
that's the trick, isn't it? to educate the public on their own terms, this is what i'm trying to do, to get the average layman up to an "informed" level of knowledge about the subject, which is why i'm a FIERCE proponent of quick concept introductions, instead of just mindlessly listing off features or concepts with no attempt to deliver the impact of those features

for instance, teach a man that liquids expand with heat, and that liquid nuclear fuel grows hotter as it gets denser, THEN start talking about lftr being a dynamically stable system, and the freeze plug

if you just say to his face "it's really safe honest", they're not going to believe you

>>3923094
but i like actual education :(

>>3923079
>THE MAN IS KEEPING SUPPRESSED
i think that's kind of harsh
the real story is that it's just too weird, and doesn't fit into any buisness models, it's not a david and goliath thing, more like a tragic case of oversight

>>3923056
not the whole*

>>3923052
no the whole conversation, i just meant that first few sentences

>>3923038
that might work as a video introduction actually

he could be fun as an extra voice to use for the mocking news anchor or something

>>3923004
technically this formed like five months ago right after i did my homework and realized a backyard LFTR was just beyond feasible, and realized it's probably better to stay as an activist for the moment so i don't get FBI'd for breeding weapons or something. i've just been so busy with college i never really go around to working more on it.


>>3923008
i fully realize that. How i word the title of the video, and how i construct the first three seconds of video are THE MOST CRUCIAL aspects of this, because that's within the "i'm bored time, to play call of duty" timeframe. i'm still stumped on how to hook people with that.

all depends on if they like the script
i've written a bit of it, but i'm not particularly comedic so it might not work out. i'd probably run any revisions by /sci/ proper for accuracy and projected appeal to the layman

>>3922954
yeah, i was thinking about reading it myself but i sound afwul on the mic.

i might try to find a proper comedy writer to spruce up the script too.

but on a budget of $0.00, might be tough

>>3922948
requires further exposure first

>>3922945
also, the best case scenario for something like this would be getting it to go truly viral, but that's almost impossible to do intentionally. Forcing viral videos never ends well

>>3922933
i actually had an idea for a series of youtube videos, probably 2-5 minutes in length, probably with a little animatic of a stick figure explaining this stuff. there would be videos breaking down most of the concepts, and building up to a video about fukushima, chernobyl, TMI, and lftr

the aim would be to make it informative, yet appealing enough that anyone could watch the entire thing and pass it on with enthusiasm.

people see the two hour long video in posted and go "no thanks" then switch back to facebook

>>3922922
what the hell
>>3922915
i like how your progression of ideas is
pamphlets -----> flying city thing
with no middle ground

>>3922915
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

>>3922885
what? no, we're raising awareness about liquid fluoride thorium reactors as a cost effective energy solution
who said anything about fatalist malthusians
