See especially pp. 36-52, where the amount of the supposed intra-atomic energy is calculated. Other authors imagine that the energy of the corpuscles is principally due to the extremely rapid rotations of those elements on their own axes. Lord Kelvin lately drew up on another model the plan of a radioactive atom capable of ejecting an electron with a considerable vis viva.
There, fellows, was a real observer. He was the only man, I have ever known, who combined the two qualities of the perfect witness. He could actually see everything he looked at, and could report it truly, to the last, least detail. Take all this stuff, for instance; especially their ability to transform iron into a fluid allotrope, and in that form to use its intra-atomic energy as power.
"Well, it's the force that exists between the ultimate component parts of matter, if you can understand that. A child ought to. Call in your chief chemist and ask him what would happen if somebody would liberate the intra-atomic energy of one hundred pounds of copper." "Pardon me, Doctor. I didn't presume to doubt you. I will call him in." He telephoned a request and soon a man in white appeared.
"The Fenachrone learned to direct fifth-order rays so quickly, then, by an analysis of our fifth-order projector there?" "Our secondary projector, yes. They must have had some neutronium in stock, too but it would have been funny if they hadn't, at that they've had intra-atomic power for ages."
Then, too, you realize, of course, that there is a bare possibility that intra-atomic energy may not be absolutely impossible." "Nix on that, Quince. I'll stand for a lot, but not for that last idea!
From the forward end of the strange craft there erupted prominence after prominence of searing, unbearable flame as the terrific charges of explosive copper struck the mark and exploded, liberating instantaneously their millions upon millions of kilowatt-hours of intra-atomic energy.
"That with the process worked out, the Corporation could furnish power to the entire world, at very little expense." A look of scornful unbelief passed over Brookings' face. "Sneer if you like," DuQuesne continued evenly. "Your ignorance doesn't change the fact in any particular. Do you know what intra-atomic energy is?" "I'm afraid that I don't, exactly."
As she proceeded, however, the warnings of the liberation of intra-atomic energy grew stronger and stronger, and both men scanned their path intensely for a sight of the source of the disturbance, while their velocity was cut to only a few hundred miles an hour. Suddenly the indicator swerved and pointed behind them, showing that they had passed the object, whatever it was.
They had not been under way long when an alarm bell sounded its warning and a brilliant green light began flashing upon the board. "Hm ... m," DuQuesne frowned as he reversed the bar. "Outside intra-atomic energy detector. Somebody's using power out here. Direction, about dead ahead straight down. Let's see if we can see anything." He swung number six, the telescopic visiplate, into connection.
There was not the faintest sound, not the slightest vibration only the peculiar violet glow surrounding the shining copper cylinder in its massive universal bearing gave any indication of the thousands of kilowatts being generated in the mighty intra-atomic power-plant. Seaton studied it thoughtfully.
