Not really.

The article only mentions DoE, who we know have never really been pro-polywell, DoD isn't even mention once. It doesn't list its application as ship power source, but rather the article list dozen other advantages of smaller modular design.

http://arxiv.org/ftp/cond-mat/papers/0608/0608368.pdf However,signals from non-superconducting inhomogeneous samples can easily mimic superconducting signals, due to a redistribution of current flow caused, for example, by differing temperature-dependent resistivity of the different phases (a positi...

Applying accepted Solid State Physics of interfaces which is used every day for chip design, proves that the electric-field within this pahase must be zero: Here ...

Pretty much everywhere in pretty much everything related to electromagnetism and quantum mechanics

He should really focus on yield improvement now. If successful, the money would appear quickly for raising Tc later. If the activity on the MT curve is measurement error, or one of the other possible phenomena than superconducting transition, "increasing the critical temperature" is considerably ea...

Still, there is Tri-Alpha and General Fusion efforts, which show us what serious efforts really look like. Makes Polywell look like a red headed Cinderella step child. I mean really!, General Fusion is going for net this year, with $80million cash lined up for the full size prototype when things pa...

Also, the Polywell is being supported by Australia's Democratic Labour Party. It is on their platform. http://www.dlp.org.au/policies/energy/polywell-plasma-fusion/ Democratic Labour Party is very small party, it gets usually around 1% of vote, has only 1 Senate seat and nobody in the House of Repr...

Radiant Matter Research also relies heavily on open-source software to avoid the cost of expensive software licenses. A comprehensive list can be found here. If they have to choose open source programs because lack of money, even if they preferred some commercial option, it is kinda sign that they ...

Leap has been getting some bad press about their software's usability, but recently Elon Musk demonstrated the best application: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNqs_S-zEBY With what am I supposed to be impressed in that video? It looks like just zooming, rotating and other stuff done at much slower...

Then again, since the patent has run out, perhaps the Navy is shifting any REAL funding to a politically connected company like Lockheed Martin. The timing of their great new reactor seems a bit fortuitous. Well, there seems to be some decent private funding for reasonable, patent-able ("save the w...

...they need more money for the raw engineering crunch and larger prototype. But DoD can't give them $100 million or more cash as required for that, because that DoE would get involved, and DoE would say that Polywell can't work, and DoE would block larger funding. This has been conventional wisdom...

Does anyone else find themselves becoming disillusioned over the whole alternative energy field? Polywell, General Fusion, Tri Alpha, LPP, LENR, solar, hydrogen, NIF, thorium... blah blah blah. We just keep hearing about them and then they seem fade away again. Never anything concrete demonstrated....

No, my point was the the orientation of these people was conservative, not their party association. And this law is stupid. People should be allowed to do these things if they want to. This does not hurt anybody. It is simply because the people that signed the law dont like it for some stupid reaso...

Interesting. Hopefully more videos will come out, including Focus Fusion's afternoon talk. Dan Tibbets This "Solve For x, 30 min scientific presentation at Fusion Brainstorming Conference" video was added few hours ago on Eric Lerner's youtube account, I assume it is the afternoon talk. https://www...
