Famulus, just to be cautious over your results here: the magnetic curve looks like it would've gone on much higher that the flat line you're showing. It looks like the sensor saturated. After you have disconnected the power, your sensor would give the same result if it was still in the presence of ...

imaginatium, Here is a Tombo spherical: Including simplicity, the thing I like about this concept is one could use the repulsive forces to distort the magrid into the ideal shape for confinement (and other purposes) and possibly minimize or eliminate other support structures. Your moment arms for t...

I'm still waiting to see results Honestly GT, you seem like a decent guy but I'm surprised you so easily buy a claim worth trillions but only replicated by one lab. Polywell? Well - there is the hobbyist who actually got fusion from a polywell he built himself. And other labs have verified the cent...

If they take chrismb's idea and separate out the "waste" hydrinos, they should sell bottles of it on their website. I would buy some. According to mills it's dark matter! I mean, who wouldn't want a bottle of dark matter on their shelf? Oh yeah and to test it too. It's not dark matter. It can absor...

Regulation is always designed to favor established connected companies over their competition. ALWAYS. It is NEVER to protect the consumer. I don't believe that's necessarily the case in other countries, in fact I think the US may have on average even more regulations than other countries. The real...

Exactly where it was before.

The Heisenberg limit is astonishingly small. You can know an awful lot about both position and energy without breaking it.

The position "within the size of an atom" is still a factor of 10^24 larger than the limit.

What a moron the original writer is.

there is nothing wrong with collecting wealth because you have helped others to get things they want to do done.

The wrong comes in when you collect wealth by fraud or force.

Having wealth is NOT EVER a problem in and of itself.

Ceramics typically have a compressive strength in the hundreds of GigaPascals. Even your high estimate would allow supports with less than a thousandth of a square meter cross section, in pure compression.
