does anyone have 25 tons of reinforced stainless steel, 12 D shaped coils of superconducting neodymium electromagnets, 4.5 tons of high purity beryllium, 50 gallons of liquid helium, 20 gallons of tritium, 100 gallons of deuterium, a 2.5 GW yttrium laser, some industrial high performance scientific monitoring equipment (preferably for things such as temperature, pressure, radiation, etc.), some ultra high capacity heat exchanger tubes, an industrial turbine, and some beefy CPUs (a quantum computer would work as well)

I got some americium if you want it (not joking, I actually do)

are you talking about the americium in your smoke detector?

also this post is from over a year ago lol

No I have a thing of Americium and another thing of a different radioactive material. My grandpa used it to test his Geiger counters.

oh cool, how much americium is it?

Idk it’s only a few grams

dang, that’s quite a bit

I just looked at it, it’s all americium and I think it’s from a smoke detector. There’s 3.4 Ci of material in total.

That makes sense

oren:

Oops, it’s actually 3.4 µCi (which adds to about 4 smoke detectors)

oren:

That doesn’t sound right though, as 3.4 ci of americium would make 1 gram. Idk

if i can’t afford 220 microfarad resistors do you think i can afford that

20 gallons of tritium?!! Is there that much on the whole earth??

You might have to source from aliens or use a tritium generating blanket in your fusion reactor

thats what the beryllium is for
