Large ocean-going vessels....(pick, pick, pick)

Aircraft carriers are the fastest things on the ocean. The speed range you're in would be more like that of a nuclear submarine.

It's like the Blair Witch of Commerce.

Pretty exciting stuff, surprised it hadn't been posted here already. In the article they mention the possibility of using this for solar power, but I have to wonder about other applications, such as optics.

Have I asked this question before? Can't remember. Anyway, the question is: has anyone ever successfully initiated a p-b11 fusion reaction?

I think there are some designs with great potential for nuclear reactors. However, don't bring up the soviets. They weren't very careful.

We're singing from the same hymnal. Free energy combined with order of magnitude improvements in storage technology. I see I294 packed with quiet little electric cars. No need to rent a cart at the golf course. You're driving one.

The lottery is for people who are bad at math, and if you're haunting this neck of the intertubes, you're probably not that bad at math.

Several years ago I was enjoying a days skiing at Vail in Colorado, and cursing the fact that a beautiful large area was still undeveloped. To my horror I discovered that a leftist organization had sabotaged attempts to build there. It was a bit of a wake up call. After all, we're simply skiing out ...

I've heard of this in the past. It's a naturally occurring phenomenon. Shrimp in the ocean, for instance, are far noisier than they should be. Like cold fusion, whatever's happening is interesting in its own right, whether or not fusion is actually occurring.

Iter has become almost comic. What is needed is some sort of anthropological/sociological study of large projects and organizations. Projects like this take on an inertia somehow in their planning stages. In corporations a hit man will generally quietly appear and kick the project directors upstairs...
