Re: Renaissance Fusion
Perhaps I should have noted that their website talks about their "energy solution for 2027". Specific year, but no explanation of what the milestone is. Now that the conference is over, Renaissance Fusion has revealed the names of exactly one member of the team: Francesco Volpe, "Founder". He has a ...

Re: Lawaranceville E-Newsletter
The latest update: https://www.facebook.com/LPPFusion/photos/a.626081134137750/2251100008302513/ With the upgrade to beryllium electrodes, FF-1 has been rechristened FF-2B ("Focus Fusion 2B"), with the "B" referring doubly to beryllium and boron. I assume this means resumption of experiments is not ...

Re: Z-Pinch Renaissance
I wonder what the relative difficulty/cost of getting fusion neutrons from a Z-pinch machine is compared to getting them from a Hirsch-Farnsworth fusor. Is there any other confinement concept for which the barrier to entry is as low (or nearly so) as the fusor? (An accelerator, perhaps, but that's n...

Re: ENN Fusion Engine Challenge (FUGINE)
China already has the EAST tokamak and the ShenGuang-III laser facility, but I'm not aware of much research going on into alternative confinement concepts. This would put China at a disadvantage if one of the private fusion efforts succeeded before ITER or NIF, especially since private companies are...

If we do ditch the electoral college, we should also change the name of the United States of America.

Re: LENR Is Real
Wait, when did Prof. Piantelli voice support for Rossi? Rossi basically ripped off Piantelli's device, but made bolder claims, and was hailed as an "inventor". At least Keshe's "inventions", however ludicrous they may be, are original. Anyway, as far as I've seen, Piantelli has had nothing to do wit...

Re: Lawaranceville E-Newsletter
LPPFusion has now raised over 75% of their lower goal of $400,000: https://wefunder.com/lppfusion/ I believe they need to raise at least $400,000 to get anything from Wefunder. By the way, I was wrong about the SEC regulations. It's not a minimum investment of $1000 but a maximum number of 500 non-a...

Re: Lawaranceville E-Newsletter
Yes, well, I believe $1000 is the minimum investment amount permitted by the SEC, presumably to discourage lower income investors from making investments and potentially getting fleeced. I'm not sure I buy that argument, though. How much one is willing to invest in a venture is partly a function of ...
