WernerIf you are in a place with a well stocked plastic merchant, you can get a nice block of teflon, and cut it on the table saw. It is heat resistant and super easy to machine with router, and wood tools.My home made brush holders for the big Kromery converter are just made from acrylic, as they have never gotten hot enough to do any damage.I have also made brass brush holders where I need to have a compact installation, using carbon bronze sintered brushes. I make the coil springs on the lathe, wrapping berrilium copper wire around a mandrel.After Nafta, such materials have no longer been stocked at local suppliers.I bought a big roll of wire that must have been WWll vintage, when I was doing a manufacturing run on home made cast bronze sailboat winches for my schooner. I needed coil ratchet springs, and nobody sold them, so like almost everything else, I made them, learning how, and being independant of market forces.It has served me well in life, being self sufficient, sourcing "stuff that things are made of", and rendering it into to things I need.It has worked for everything from custom computer controlled custom full color LED descrete chips, to bronze skylight hinges.Once you get used to it, making stuff becomes a way of life, and an interesting livelyhood, as other people need things that don't exist.I have now retired, from the business world, concentrating my efforts on being self sufficient in a very rural place, amid 150 year old stone, and timber, buildings, which my wife, and I, are restoring, living, and working from.
I think the energy issue is something we all need to deal with, and I am working to do my part, as I can.I have plenty of space for energy examples of self sufficiency, and fortunately the communication skills to share these working examples, once they are completed.Cheers Warren

OK WARREN the setup I have now is a little over 1kw solar panels&8 batterys . My power bill is around $50 $32 of it is for the meters onlyno use at all !!! Right now I am working on a SELF RUNNING GENERATOR all that's left to do is make the BRUSH HOLDER ,been working on it for 5years I hav'nt said anything about it because it is VERY SIMPLE NO ELECTRONICS &IT is not done when I get the results & some numbers THEN I WILL GIVE THE INFO .

WernerDon't despair. Think of your individual energy problems, and solve those.By being successful on a small scale, it can show others how it can be done.Thorium is available in small quantities.A back yard nuclear generator may not be desireable if your nut case neighbour is building one, considering the mess he made building his garden shed.
Cutting down on simply wasting the energy one consumes, makes the job easier.The end solution may be very simple, and small.Cheers Warren

There are too many reactors & high end people to do anything except waste time complaining to politicians WHO WON'T DO A THING EXCEPT PROMISE HOT AIR &DO 00000 !

Nuclear generators are used for generating weapons grade plutonium 239, nothing more, we have been led down the proverbial Garden Path my friends...
Virtually any combination of plutonium isotopes -- the different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei -- can be used to make a nuclear weapon. Not all combinations, however, are equally convenient or efficient.
The most common isotope, plutonium-239, is produced when the most common isotope of uranium, uranium-238, absorbs a neutron and then quickly decays to plutonium. It is this plutonium isotope that is most useful in making nuclear weapons, and it is produced in varying quantities in virtually all operating nuclear reactors. As fuel in a reactor is exposed to longer and longer periods of neutron irradiation, higher isotopes of plutonium build up as some of the plutonium absorbs additional neutrons, creating plutonium-240, plutonium-241, and so on. Plutonium-238 also builds up from a chain of neutron absorptions and radioactive decays starting from uranium-235.
