While reading one of Tesla’s books, I came across his notion of using electro-dynamics to smelt iron, aluminum, copper and other metals in a cold process. Like other Tesla writings, he did not get into details. I am not sure if he ever perfected this idea, but it was a starting point for my own investigation.
What happens when we “smelt” iron today? We melt it with large amounts of heat generated by, mostly, electricity. Gone are the days of using coal in most applications. In this process, we are using the expansion properties of heat. Heat excites molecules and opens up the transfer of protons and electrons to make various metals and chemical compounds.
We have been smelting metals for thousands of years, and yet, there are still new metals to make. Is there a way to use the contraction properties of cold to make new metals and chemical compounds? Yes, as above, so below. Think about it, we are having a revolution in nano-engineering; they are going in the contraction direction.
The power of contraction is just as powerful as the power of expansion; we just have not figured out the right way to utilized this power.
Do not confuse what I am talking about as Nuclear Cold Fusion, but it could be called Fusion. Instead of using pressure generated by expansion, this process uses pressure generated by contraction, but without the necessity of building a containment structure like a boiler.
Using this approach, finely ground metallic powders can be combined into new metallurgic compounds. This does not do away with smelting/melting, but takes the existing metallic crystals and does something different with them.
In a way, we have already started doing this using 3D Printing; now you can print a fully functional Colt 45 automatic pistol on a 3D Printer. That process is duplicating a strong steel structure using powdered steel and epoxy. I am talking about a different process that combines different metal powders, without epoxy, using cold compression technology.
Could this process produce steel or titanium as well?
Yes, the cold process is effective for iron, steel (all varieties),
aluminum, and titanium; almost every metal except copper or copper alloys.
Could this process save money or energy in the business of metelergy?
This new metallurgy process uses cold energy to create
molecular bonds. It is still energy and money, but you can
create much different properties in your new alloys. Go to
my New Physics page and read about the Corner Discussion.
Cold is the binary opposite of heat and twice as fast (the
speed of light is really the speed of heat – incandescent
light bulb).
Would you please give me a few examples of these properties?
The alloy that cold with current, the alloys that
get lighter/heavier with current, the blue rod that
makes anything weightless when touched (static electricity).
These are all using the properties of Cold (as opposed to Hot/Heat),
Light (as opposed to Darkness) and Magnetism (as opposed to Gravity).
All six of these forces are primary forces in our world; mankind has
dominion over Cold, Light and Magnetism. I focus on these, but am also
starting to use Hot/Heat and Gravity in new and different ways. See my
Corner Discussion in New Physics.
Oh. Now, I understand. By the way, I read your Corner Discussion page. At least, I read the important pieces. It sounds interesting to consider because it makes sense.
