You may be right. It sure does seem logical. I remember a movie in high school science class where magnets were used along a long spark to remove the electrons and protons the neutrons continued on. Hay...........that was 44 years ago. Maybe I dreamed that one night when I was asleep. LOL.

How much heavy water do you want? First you need to have a very long electical spark in the range of several million volts. http://home.earthlink.net/~gary350/tc10-4.jpg Next you have to direct the high voltage spark along a straight line with magnets along the path of the spark. Line up several magnets in opposite order along the path, N, S, N, S, N, S, N, S, N, S, etc. this removes all the electrons and protons from the spark leaving only the neutrons. The neutrons are shot into water now you have to slow them down other wise they travel all the way through the water and out the other side. I have forgotton how to slow down neutrons but if I remember correctly I beleive you use a block or grafite or lead I can not remember. After you saturate the water with neutrons you have heavy water. NOW......what are you going to do with heavy water? You could build an atomic hand grenade and throw it across the back yard.

You have not really failed, you just have not yet learned to do the work without making mistakes. Mistakes are how you learn. If you don't make mistakes you don't learn anything. People that never try never learn. It is very frustrating to make mistakes. I use to make so many mistakes I made really terrable grades in school. My mistakes were stupid mistakes. I finally learned to go slow, read questions several times, try and figure out what the question is asking very often some of the information in the problem has nothing to do with the problem, double check and triple check all my work. I got my Science grades up from a 30 to about 85 to 90 range just by being extra careful but still most of my trouble was goofy mistakes. I had a math teacher once that make everyone do homework on 1/4 inch graph paper. You right the problems in the 1/4" squares then when you do the work make sure all the numbers are in the correct boxes. The graph paper kept everything lined up it was impossible to make a mistake. My math grades went from 20's to 90's. I had the same problem in Physics class. I learned to go slow and take my time and triple check my work and my grades went from the 20 range to the 90 range here too. It is so easy to make a simple mistake. I don't recall getting may 100s on any of my work. You have to develope your own methods of doing your work many people can give you ideas but you have to do what works best for you.
