I work in the semiconductor industry. Conventional fabrication technology will reach its limits somewhere in the 10nm to 20nm design regime. Various materials and fabrication technologies are being developed so as to carry beyond the 10nm limit. Some of these include stuff like carbon nanotubes, gra...

I am well aware of Dr. Puthoff's past involvement in "psychic" phenomenon. I am also well-aware of many of his ideas in physics that are non-conventional, to say the least. I am about the last person in this world to believe in any kind of psychic phenomenon and my attitude towards their ideas in ph...

There is the WHIPIT method. :) http://www.nidsci.org/articles/davis/wormhole_induction.html Duane Tattoo detective, its not too late. To WHIPIT, into shape, go forward... Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Anyways, Eric Davis is now with the Earthtech people (http://www.earthtech.org). Wormholes work b...

Like others here, I have been following the EHT and Heim Drive stuff since early 2006. Droecher and Hauser have proposed an experiment based on something called boson-coupling for over a year now. Their most recent paper seems to be merely a rehash of things they have said in previous papers. Unless...

peer review
My understanding is that the experiments will be complete in another two months and another month or two will be necessary for the peer review process. Is this correct? I think that the group is prudent not to release any details until after the review process is complete, in order to avoid a "cold ...

Plasmak and Focus Fusion look similar
There is a pdf description of how plasmoids form on Dr. Koloc's PrometheusII website. There is a slide show on Eric Lerner's Focus Fusion website that displays the formation of the plasmoids in Eric Lerner's proposed device. The plasmoid formation in both websites looks remarkably similar. In both c...

Ball Lightning
Correct me if I'm wrong. But I heard that Silicon combustion was determined to be the cause of ball lightning, a much more prosaic explanation than others I have heard. Is this correct? This plasmak approach strikes me as rather fanciful. I first heard about it in the mid 90's. I used to know a guy ...

One of the things we have been considering is selling a "turnkey" version of the WB-7. In this case we would design, build, license and deliver an operating Polywell, probably on the scale of the present machine. Operator training and tech support would also be part of the deal. The model is to use...

Numerical modeling...
I read recently that Tri-Alpha was recently financed to the tune of $40 million. This suggests that they will be doing some hardware experimentation in the near future. My understanding is that the financiers are not just Paul Allen, but include Venrock Associates (they funded Apple in the late 70's...

Norman Rostaker?
Does anyone know anything about Norman Rostaker's group? I believe this is called Tri-Alpha and that they are set-up in the Foothills area of SoCal. Any new info about them?

Thanks...
I just read the previous threads about FPGeneration and about POPS, in general. POPS is essentially a pulsed bias such that you have an oscillating plasma sheath. POPS is interesting to me because it reminds me of a specialized coating process technology called Plasma Source Ion Immersion (PSII). Th...

Questions about FPGeneration
I stumbled upon a website (www.fpgeneration.com), which describes a mutli-pole ion source version of an IEC polywell. The guy, Alex Klein, has previously worked with Dr. Bussard. Can anyone here comment on Alex Klein's MIX approach to polywell fusion and how it compares with Dr. Bussard's approach? ...
