Axil, For Koloc, the key was the observation that ball lightning can pass thru intact glass (something my sisters once witnessed). That ought to be impossible for a plasma. It is very possible for a magnetic field. There must be some accompanying energy capable of ionizing gas on the far side of th...

The USA is actually putting quite a lot of money into Toks via their participation in ITER. True, but not compared to size of the economy and importance of the goal. I think it is mainly a political thing: nobody want to bail out first. And it does not make sense that local reseach is killed. Who w...

I do not hear much about NIF in relation to power generation. Thought it was all about weapon research (or: model validation) ?

According to Dijkhuis it is deuterium from water in the air.

I had one of those ball lightning things in my living room once. It glowed green. I did not feel like coming in contact with it. I think it was about a foot and a half across. How long did it stay alive? And was it radiating a lot of heat? Both Tuck and Dijkhuis made ball lightning using huge curre...

The idea that polywell (EMC2) is 'under the radar' came up several times on this site. But maybe that is not true after all: Some facts: - It was mentioned some time ago that Chu is aware of polywell and was 'looking into it' - Well known physicists have reviewed polywell (twice). I think that must ...

Years ago when I studied electronics on the university, there was a Dutch physics teacher who presented a model on fireball lightning. That was around the same time that in the USA James Tuck was doing research on the same subject. The model suggested that a fusion reaction was providing the energy ...

If Polywell is to save the world, we better hurry up: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=apocalypse-soon-has-civilization-passed-the-environmental-point-of-no-return&WT.mc_id=SA_CAT_SP_20120528 I was suprised to see that my (Dutch) goverment is involved in this research, a good thing I...

For near field (distance between transmitter and receiver not much greater than the size of the antenna's) it is used, with passive RFID's as the best example. But power levels are rather low (milliwatts). I would not feel comfortable sitting in the magnetic field of a 100 Watt laptop charger. For i...

Just imagine what would happen if someone would cross the beam. In Tesla's apparatus it would not even be point to point (as a beam) but just radiating energy in space. Transmission efficiency would then scale with one over distance squared. Imagine the power levels needed. Remember that power level...
