The Malaysian officials have finally admitted to what was in the cargo hold of the missing Malaysian aircraft MH370. After 14 days, they have finally admitted that it is not 2 to 3 tons of "mangosteens" as was originally said, but instead Lithium Ion Batteries. Now, even though the official said that there were only "some" batteries on board, a plane would not be stolen for just "some" of these batteries. I am guessing that his original number was correct. 2 to 3 tons.
That would be something a terrorist, or perhaps a country like say, Iran, would be interested in. Why? Because the lithium can be used to absorb the neutrons during nuclear fusion. Lithium, along with its hydrides, can also be used as high energy additives in rocket propellants. Why would this be important? Because Iran needs these things to finish building their nuclear bomb.
I have said from the get go that this plane did not crash and that it could be found in Iran. Now it would seem that scenario is a little more credible. While officials are stating that the disclosure of the lithium ion batteries in the cargo hold gives more credibility to the theory that the plane had a fire, I completely disagree. First of all, if there was a fire from the batteries spontaneously com-busting, why would it have changed course and then continued to fly for another 6 to 7 hours? And don't give me the whole, "it flew on autopilot" business. I don't buy it.
There is more to come of this, I am certain. See, if I understand the quantum physics of this correctly, if lithium is used to absorb the neutrons during nuclear fusion, then you don't need the water. Which is important if you are in the middle of the desert in Iran! Don't know what nuclear fusion is? Ask Hiroshima. They found out the hard way after they attacked us at Pearl Harbor.
I will update on this as I learn more. Stay tuned....
Now you got me wondering if this behind the push to produce more electric vehicles, which can never be justified by economics or reducing emissions.
ReplyDeleteYou know... I am going to research and see just where those Tesla executives were on March 8th. Lol
DeleteBeside the usefulness, lithium batteries become terribly hot if they short out. If only one shorted out during the flight, it was doomed.
DeleteYes, but that still doesn't explain why the plane went off course and then continues flying on new course for 6 to 7 hours. Like I said, I'm not buying the "auto-pilot" business.
DeleteThe nuclear bombs were nuclear "fission", not "fusion"..... We still haven't completely figured out how to harness the energy from fusion....
ReplyDeleteHi Justin,
DeleteTrust me when I say I am no nuclear scientist. But what I understand is that Little Boy was an atom bomb which used nuclear fission. Fat Man was a hydrogen bomb that used a fission trigger to create fusion. Little boy used Uranium and Fat Man used Plutonium. The hydrogen bomb uses a fission reaction to "trigger" a fusion reaction. Also, hydrogen isotopes (Deuterium and Tritium) are the primary fuel used in experimental fusion power plants. While deuterium fuel is abundant, tritium is not and is usually trans-mutated from lithium. Hence, the importance of a huge amount of lithium batteries.
just wondering why Iran would need to hijack that plane when all they have to do is get Lithium from China or Russia or even Afghanistan itself?
ReplyDeleteI don't have an answer other than a plane with people from so many different countries would certainly capture the worlds attention. If it were created into a bomb, who would be responsible for shooting it down? What country would take that lead?
