Now back to the project. There are surplus turbines for giveaway prices. Check for Auxiliary Power Units for aircraft. |
Proximity gets a chain reaction, density gets an explosion. If you want a bomb you need to increase the density of the reaction mass. That's why the bomb is triggered by a chemical explosion. It "implodes" by sending extremely high velocity shock waves which coalesce to increase density enough for unconstrained fission.
But first you need the right isotope of the right element and then figure out how much to compress it.
I still think a Sterling engine is a better learning tool.
Hey, what about a continuous-feed biodiesel cracker?
