(A Papa Giorgio Event) When Science Meets Faith (Series): Radioactive Decay & Helium Leaks as Evidence for Recent Creative Acts in History

Speaker:
Dr. Russell Humphreys, Ph.D.
Physicist & Creationist

Bio:

Beginning in 1979 he worked for Sandia National Laboratories (New Mexico) in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. In 1985, he began working with Sandia’s ‘Particle Beam Fusion Project’, and was co-inventor of special laser-triggered ‘Rimfire’ high-voltage switches, now coming into wider use. The last decade at Sandia saw greater emphasis on theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an effort to help produce the world’s first lab–scale thermonuclear fusion. Besides gaining two other U.S. patents, Dr Humphreys has been given two awards from Sandia, including an Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion–fusion target theory. Overall, Dr Humphreys’ reseach has been very wide-ranging:

Association/Research/Awards

• Designed and theoretically analyzed thermonuclear fusion targets using radiation hydrodynamic codes.
• Designed key high-voltage parts of Sandia’s 100-Terawatt Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II and conducted fusion power experiments on it. Same designs are in use today on Sandia’s Z machine.
• Research on low-temperature solids and studies on superconductors.
• Nuclear weapons projects, including stockpile engineering for W87 firing set.
• Helped design new inkjet printer component and shared patent on it.
• Developed high repetition-rate neutron tube driver and gamma-ray spectrometer for borehole logging applications. Patent on high-voltage power supply for it.
• Patents on wide-bandwidth electric field sensor and high-voltage neutron tube supply. Designed lightning current waveform recorder which won IR-100 Award.
• Studied electric fields and ion currents under ultrahigh voltage DC transmission lines.
• Theoretical studies of relativistic velocity dependence of nuclear forces.
• Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico, board member and past President
• Two of Industrial Research Magazine’s IR-100 awards
• Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion-fusion target theory
• Adjunct professor of the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego
• Board member of the Creation Research Society
• Member, American Geophysical Union
