3-4 months is not far off for first plasma. Are we in a holding pattern waiting for rumors of initial WB-8 success? As I get older, I find my patience for anything is vanishing. What's up with that?

....Struts supporting the coils could be made like wings so that electrons that strike them don't loose too much momentum (I am not sure if it is an issue, but if it is...). ... But, what if the strut was insulated with a layer of very tough and smooth ceramic?. I'm pessimistic, but I suppose it mi...

Between the He layer and N2 layer, why not use an insulator instead of vacuum? It would seem difficult structurally to transfer loads across the space. Because transfer of heat from LN2 to LHe is very expensive. (it is one reason thermos bottles were invented). It is going to cause engineering prob...

My first post here at Talk-Polywell. I got real excited about the technology and the possibility of practical fusion power production so I started reading and thinking about what you guys are trying to do. It seemed to me that the critical component is the design of the magnets, so I have been think...
