Re: General Fusion in the news

Been awhile since I last posted. Went to check google map for a restaurant location for a birthday lunch, and low and behold, General Fusion has practically moved right into my back yard, 4 km, 8 minutes away. Right in the same business park with the hobby store I buy my comic books at.

Re: Realta Fusion - Mirrors with HTS end plugging - another startup

Looks a bit like what Lockheed Martin was doing a few years back.

Re: Polywell: "Final nail?"

Yeah, but I did a quick search on T-P and didn't see anything about it. Maybe it was discussed, maybe not, been so long.

Re: Polywell: "Final nail?"

The article talks a lot about computer simulation with an ITER sized Polywell reactor, 75 meter outer wall running PB11 steady state having Pout/Pin at 0.13, and how only a slight scale up would make it over unity.

Re: Polywell: "Final nail?"

Did a little internet search on Polywell for the first time in a while and noticed this publication. It talks about Diocotron Pumping to remove cold electrons. Has this been covered before? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321453672_A_Polywell_Fusion_Reactor_Designed_for_Net_Power_Generation

Re: Polywell: "Final nail?"

If it's the final nail in the coffin for the Polywell, is it also the final nail for Lockheed Martins experiment, they have a lot in common. Did the paper also look at the results from the last EMC2 WB-X device?

There's a new competitor to Concorde.

Re: Signs of life on Venus

Even if it's a microbial life form, it has to eat something in order to survive. What would that be?

Re: I Have Been Occupied

Glad to hear your feeling better Mike, didn't know. Last word was that Dr. Park was doing computer simulations and might do another small scale Polywell just to confirm the results.

George Floyd might be alive and well today if he had been armed with a gun on the day Derek Chauvin arrested him.

Re: Apologies for the long down time

Thankful just to see the site back, world changed a bit while it was gone, what with the plague and all. Now all we need are results from Dr. Parks polywell computer simulations.
