Talk-Polywell.org

To be clear, the site belongs to "Classicpenny." I was just cross-linking threads and sites to bring the conversation together.

Classicpenny, do you have a name so we know who to credit with the hard work?

Mike

How many years away? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080609/ap_ ... t_computer

Hmm.. Los Alamos... where have I heard that name before?

Mike

"Critical"... "essential"...

How about "beneficial?" Is it worth shooting for at all? Or are there problems with creating focus that are greater than the benefits?

Mike

Yes, your site was the one to which I was referring. And the contact page is good - chock full of info on who to talk to. But, again, I totally missed it. Should be given as much prominence as the other main pages, I'd think. I cross-posted the site to another forum here, and there's some more techn...

Does this site consitute a "Badass Website?": http://www.polywellnuclearfusion.com/Cl ... clear.html

If not, what does it need? Or does it fail to meet the purposes you have in general?

Mike

I checked out the whole site. And I think it's very well put together, providing compellling arguments for funding polywell. But if I were an angel or venture capitalist or senator who now wanted to fund polywell, I'm not sure I'd know what to do from the page. I think there's one part missing from ...

Tantalizing.

So, for those of you who've been through something aproximating the peer review process that has to occur coming up, how long would you say we can estimate that'll take before we can hear any real report?

Mike

Well, yes, but there are some that respond to the market, and some that lead the market. Responders have a purpose, but do not create innovation. To go with my example, did consumers demand the iPhone? Or did Jobs create that market? The latter, I'd say. You don't get that from yes men. You get that...

Might make a great high-speed chicken fryer and delivery system, however...

Mike

Uh, yeah, that was my point, dictators of capitalist organizations. Like the example I gave.

No, I'm not suggesting fascism.

As for "Change over profit" it's really "Profit by change or profit by cash."

Mike

I started a thread under Implications, specifically to discuss that one, guys. I've read of LENR processes that supposedly give excess power. With scaling up being the only current problem. Could be charlatans, I suppose. I like Polywell. I like ITER, too. I like LENR. I like any energy source that ...

Frankly, you need a benevolent dictator bent on change over profit. Steve Jobs gets things accomplished because he makes everyone work to his specifications. You may think that they're not the right things, but they're definitely new things. Compare Microsoft which hasn't produced an innovation... e...

Funny how "Tesla Tech" actually usuall works at some level when you really examine it. My favorite example is that of Tesla's "Earthquake Generator." He claimed that by using resonant frequencies of, say, a building, you could shake it to the ground using a small piston engine that cycled in harmony...

That's an optimistic viewpoint. One might also assume that all fusion is falling out of favor. Was there money for this that will now go to some other form of fusion research? No? Or is the hope that some of the good minds previously working on this will now move to working on other forms of fusion ...

Well, except that the pB-11 reaction doesn't produce heat directly, but accellerated ions. So you have to figure out how to convert that to heat. Of course, if you can make it into electricity, you can make that into heat (as somebody suggested). But it might require more gear to get that done. Than...
