I do LED work for a living. I work very closely with Cree, Nichia, etc.
All good high-efficiency white diodes are UVB diodes with a triple-component or more phosphor layer, and possibly with a ceramic recombination package design. You start with UV, add a blue phosphor base on top of that, then add your amber and red phosphors on top of that, then try to use the packaging to redirect light that scatters back through the phosphors for maximum output.
"UV is very problematic as it quickly degrades the plastic optics which are predominantly used with LEDs"
I have raw UV diodes in most of my growing panels. They all have plastic covers. Not one single problem. Teflon is quite UV resistant, and is used quite often in this particular application, mainly because of the localized heat put off by an LED plus the UV emissions.
"Plus, you would only get the yellow light from the phosphor, not white light."
Wrong again, as per above. I'm holding engineering samples of MK-R, 200 lumen/w @ 7000K CCT and a 93 CRI. You put it through a diffraction grating, and you see EVERYTHING. From ~370nm up to 700, no line breaks or indications of narrow-range phosphors. In fact, most newer white LEDs have essentially blackbody output, you can't tell a difference under a spectrometer between incandescent and LED, except that the LED is far brighter (with the exception around 680-700nm) and misses most of the IR/NIR range. Here, have a picture.
Also, note your chosen datasheet only goes as low as 380nm. Not even close to the UVB range, which is where white diodes begin their life. Go put one of your XPG2 over a sheet with yellow highlighter on it or one of those green USPS tracking confirmation labels. Watch it fluoresce like mad. Even most blue diodes start with a UVB base, including the ones used in the growing lights I design. This isn't Near-UV, here. This is full UV.
And its the mixture of green and blue and red that makes CCT. RGB. Yellow is not included in the official CIE 1960 color space as a primary source.
You're wrong. In fact, not only can an RGB diode produce great white light, we have diode packages that can essentially cover the entire visible spectrum and thus create any CCT known with greater efficiencies than a white diode, which, again, you're wrong - it's a UV diode with a phosphor on it, not a blue diode.

Second sentence - " It is colloquially referred to as a hydrogen bomb or H-bomb because it employs hydrogen fusion"
Plenty of our nuclear weapons stockpile employs fission/fusion combo detonations that utilize hydrogen. This is the USA. Other countries don't employ the use of hydrogen, or only have a couple of weapons that utilize it (typically done in the gun-format when utilized.)
"The only way you have not completely lost the thread of the original story is unless you are suggesting that this new process provides an easy way to create deuterium"
It appears you cannot read and comprehend what is being talked about. Let me reiterate for you.
GP claims Hydrogen has shit energy density. I counter with "If it has shit energy density, why is it used in nuclear weapons as the secondary fusion detonation?"
You suddenly come in and your brain segues over to the other side of the conversation without thinking.
Also, Lithium deuteride is used as a fission casing of the secondary fusion bomb to generate tritium.
I know how my (USA) nukes work. It's France and other countries that don't employ hydrogen as a primary fusion fuel in their thermonuclear weaponry.
" we don't have a method at the moment for using Hydrogen fusion as an energy source."
Yes we do, just for destructive purposes, not transportation or electrical generation (well, besides the resultant EMP.) It's called a thermonuclear weapon. You know, the hydrogen bomb?
"the reason we use it as oppose to, I dunno, Lithium, just something out of the air here, is because it is simpler and therefore easier to build a detonation device out of."
Umm, lithium is used, ever hear of lithium deuteride as part of the secondary in a nulcear weapon to allow for during-detonation tritium production? The main reason it's not used as the primary fusion material is because it's a bit more of a bitch to make it go critical and fuse, and is better served in on-site tritium production, where hydrogen is much easier to compress and fuse, and thus make it release practically all of its energy.
"Another thing, even if we used Hydrogen for energy in the fusion way of things, it's still pretty shitty compared to say Helium or Boron, wild guess as to why Einstein,"
Umm, boron requires temps of a few billion Kelvin to fuse. Hydrogen fuses roughly around 100 million Kelvin. Try again. You'd need a nuclear detonation currently to even get the thing cranking and going. Maybe when the new plasma pulse tech comes around, but that'll likely take another fifty years because nature doesn't play fair. Also, it wouldn't be helium, it'd be helium-3, which has totally different properties than its source isotope.
"Finally, basic high school chemistry would have taught you JACK SHIT about fusion since that's not fucking chemistry!!!"
It still teaches you enough to know your comment about hydrogen and low energy density being total bullshit.
Umm, you do know many thermonuclear weapons are called 'Hydrogen Bombs' because they fuse hydrogen caused by means of uranium/plutonium fission, right?
Hi, we've got bunker buster dummy bombs, have had them for years and years.
Drop two unarmed ones right on the bunker. Watch these fuckers flee as they realize their supposedly secure location isn't that fucking secure any longer.
Fluidly at 512x384? REALLY? On a 33MHz 486? My uncle's Pentium 90 with 16MB RAM could barely get 512x384 rolling, until GLQuake came out and he could use his VooDoo.
You're the one full of it, here, and a poster below you posted video proof as well.

"This is starting to get to the upper limits of what SAS can do. Only Fibre Channel and Thunderbolt will do these kinds of rates with room to grow."
And like your prior comment, this one's dead wrong too.
Wireless 4K *UNCOMPRESSED* HDMI @120Hz with ARC, 3D, networking, Deep Color, and remote storage data pipelines.
Thunderbolt can't even fucking compare.
You're assuming APIs don't change and become incompatible with older revisions over time.

On top of that, the type of people likely to click on this are also already likely exploited and running with limited system resources as-is.
Even the entire skype userbase couldn't stand up to the raw power behind half of the mining farms already out there.

The CATO Institute seems to disagree with your statement about doubling the usage of many classes of drugs.
Penalties for possession of a certain amount are totally non-existent, and if you are caught over, most of the time, you're given a warning unless it's some obviously commercial amount.
The laws are as lenient, as I have read them in full, when they were passed oh so long ago.
You're telling me these people couldn't be bothered to personally read all 100 or so applications?
" The reason drugs can get banned is because they are so incredibly devastating to individuals to families and to communities when their use becomes common."
I can tell you've not been paying attention to Portugal this past decade.
Actually you'd see those too and more if you took out the part of your eyeball that filters out UV and a few other wavelengths.
"there is no cyan in the color spectrum"
You might want to open your eyes and look in the 490–520nm range on a representation of the visual range of the EM spectrum.
" This thread looks more like, "Khyber wants to talk about nuclear weapons for a while,""
then you need to work on your reading comprehension.
GP: "Hydrogen is shit for energy density"
Me: "Nope, you're wrong, otherwise it wouldn't be used in X."
You: wharrrrgarblnousefulinformationwharrgarbl
Apparently you're too ignorant to even follow a conversation and use logic and critical thinking.
Plain and simple, idiot GP said "Hydrogen is shit energy-wise."
I proved him wrong, and you're jumping in like a total fucking idiot going on a segue in a totally different direction.
My words are still true and all you can do is bitch about nothing, which means I'm right and you don't have one fucking leg to stand on.
"If you can't efficiently harness it, where does the "use" come in,"
Implying the direct purpose of harnessing energy to destroy things isn't efficient.
No wonder you posted as AC. You know about as much as the GP to this entire convo.

Don't know why I'm being modded offtopic. If you want to mine, you're too late for the Bitcoin wagon. Best jump on Litecoin.
It's just that simple of a fact.
Go Litecoin, or Namecoin, or something else that will become a competitor to Bitcoin.
In the end, it's all virtual currency anyways, even the US Dollar (which is a fiat currency, and thus essentially virtual.)
