Overview

Totally covalently bonded uranium as a concept is nothing particularly new and is not of my origination. However, due to the small amount of available literature on the subject, I thought that my prosaic approach to the concept with additional concepts would be illustrative of the great potential of chemical energy. Chemical energy in degenerate matter forms especially in totally covalently bonded heavy elements may enable explosive yields mid-way between the highest performing contemporary chemical fuels and nuclear fissile fuels. Thus, the concepts presented herein need further study for potential technological applications. In cases where the potential chemical energy would match or surpass the nuclear fissile energy of totally covalently bonded uranium, exotically powerful explosive devices are plausible which can have military and peaceful applications. One application that stands out is compact and extreme invariant mass-specific energy density fuels for powering spacecraft such as relativistic rockets and pellet runway power spacecraft. The most powerful forces known within our light-cone appear to be gravitational such as in the presence of black-holes and especially within the event horizon of black-holes. Not even nuclear energy can hold up super-black-hole density regions of space from collapse, perhaps all the way down to a central singularity of Planck energy density if not of infinite density. So, here we have a mechanism for which gravity overwhelms even the strong nuclear force. By corollary, the electromagnetic force which also has unlimited range within a given cosmic light cone may plausibly configured to overwhelm the strong nuclear force. Perhaps a tell-tale signature of such a possibility is the production of the exotic chemical fuels conjectured herein for which the chemical energy yield would be super-nuclear in scale.
