>> A tank like this could keep the interior vacuum cool enough so that the element is more stable.

a) Stability of a nucleus has nothing to do with keeping it cool. It depends only on three fundamental forces - strong, weak and electromagnetic. Elements with a large number of protons are unstable because of the electromagnetic repulsive force between the protons.

b) Bismuth and nuclei with higher number of protons will decay - there are no exceptions.

c) Half lives of the larger nuclei are of the order of milliseconds. The sole exception is element 114 with 184 neutrons which could have a half life of the order of hours rather than milliseconds. Please refer island of stability

>> stable isotope of element 118, and it would be an inert gas
At best an isotope could be created that had a half life of a few days.

>> element 118 ... would be very dense
Many elements that have crystal lattices would be much denser (e.g. metals). Lanthanides in particular are very dense.

>> moving electrons in a spiral path around a ferrous core
Note that the magnetic field is created solely by the current.

>> create a gravity force by moving heavy atoms around a dense core
>> Imagine wrapping a tube around a lead core and and pumping mercury through the tube at high speed
The only effect would be to rotate the core at a very small rate. It would be readily observable when the mass of mercury is of the order of the mass of the sun. See frame dragging.

>> But the whole point is that element 115 can be made to be stable by using the correct isotope
No isotope would be stable. Even if the number of neutrons is 184, it would still decay, albeit the half life could be a few days.

There is nothing particularly special about 115 being created this way. All elements heavier than hydrogen are created only in stars. It is well known that elements with atomic numbers higher than bismuth can be created only in very heavy stars that die as supernovae. Supernovae are neat because they also scatter these elements throughout the galaxy.

Well lazar claims that the stable 115 maintains good for 35 years as fuel he also passed a polgraph on this. And it has never officaly been tried to make a stable isotope of this so how you could claim for sure of that?

Yes! Reality is catching up to Star Trek.
Standby for a quantum leap forward January 2013.
It will be a very exciting time.

The next big thing i would like to see is an air replicator.
20% Oxygen / 80% Nitrogen
Energy and matter are transferable.
Apparently, the life support system on the international space system
smells like burned cookies.
I want to get rid of the burned cookies!

and thus the paradox. for there to be the amount of heavy elements that there are, you would expect the universe to be FAR older than currently claimed. How many supernovas need to happen in the vast expanse to make enough gold, lead, uranium (which is supposed to be one of the most plentiful elements) to explain the reality we see in our solar system? Was there enough time for a star to accumulate enough matter to be big enough to supernova, then our sun to form and end up where we are today? It just doesn't seem to all add up to me.

You should read the book:

The Elixir of Immortality: A Modern-Day Alchemists Discovery of the Philosopher's Stone

which was just published last month (September 2009). It provides convincing evidence that the mysterious elixir, or stone, made from heavy metals, and sought by the ancients, was in fact a superheavy element, probably element 115.

The ancient texts consistently reported that this mysterious material does not naturally exist on the face of the earth, and is much heavier bulk for bulk than gold, and the only known substance that would be much heavier than gold in this manner would be a superheavy element.

Element 115 is directly below Bismuth in the extended periodic table, which, in turn, is directly below Antimony. The ancient alchemical texts refered to Antimony as the "Spirit" (Arabic: Kohl), which served to marry gold and mercury in the production of the elixir.

Based upon laboratory research, the author demonstrates that the secret "spirit" contained in Antimony ore, which served to bring the mercury to life, or make it "quick silver" was none other than Bismuth. He then argues that Bismuth provides the "archetype" which serves to guide the "cold fusion" of the material toward its higher (heavier) realization as superheavy element 115.

The book makes another interesting point. The ancients cultures, from China to India to Egypt, claimed that the knowledge of how to make this elixir origianlly came from the "gods" or "descended angels" at the dawn of human history, and that the Aquarian Age is destined to be the time when this lost knowledge is revived in a scientific manner, and the elixir becomes available to the common man.
