    Sure it’s terrifying, but you can start a sparky plasma show in a resilient enough container and keep it going for hours and the microwave won’t break. (except maybe overheat.) The microwave will be fine as long as the arcs don’t reach the waveguide cover. (which would risk burning/shorting the magnetron.)

    I have done the microwave grape plasma trick myself and started an arc in a microwave. The current between the two objects goes through a very narrow point, which is enough vaporize the contact point to plasma. This then can grow as the microwave continues to pump more energy into the spark.





  • Btw, ld.so is a symlink to ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 at least on my system. It is an statically linked executable. The ld.so is, in simpler words, an interpreter for the ELF format and you can run it:

    ld.so --help
    

    Entry point address: 0x1d780

    Which seems to be contained in the only executable section segment of ld.so

    LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0x0000000000001000 0x0000000000001000
         0x0000000000028bb5 0x0000000000028bb5  R E    0x1000
    

    Edit: My understanding of this quite shallow; the above is a segment that in this case contains the entirety of the .text section.










  • MSRs have negative temperature reactivity coefficient and outlet temps around 700C at atm pressure. PWR is at measly 300C and 150 Bar.

    If all control is lost, the salt expands as it heats up pushing the expanded volume out from the reactor core. The fission stops once the fuel is leaves the core region where the moderator is. Reverse is also true: you pull heat off from the loop, so the fuel-salt becomes denser, increasing reactivity. MSRs can naturally “follow” the load, if done right.
