Climate "scientists" are a bunch of charlatans and they'll get what's coming to them. They have had a good chance to clean house but it has not happened.

The best we can hope for is that they do not drag all of science into the gutter of politics where they have come from.

in case you haven't heard of this ... maybe an Open Source Polywell effort could parcel out work through something like this instead of the top-heavy, over-politicised state grant system? http://www.innocentive.com/ * Use your knowledge and expertise to make a real impact by solving challenging prob...

Looks like they've already taken it up to 212 [K] in Nov. '08.

Somewhere near a recent overnight low in Alaska!

Another result graph generated by Indrek, has useful Log scale for low pressure wiffleballs. (scroll down to bottom of page)

Here's some more results following from using the image system of a spherical wiffle-ball. http://www.mare.ee/indrek/ephi/invwb/Pwb.pdf Here we used Indrek's code for calculating forces on the physical coils, with and without the wiffle-ball present. Then summing the difference of the reaction force...

For example: Radius: 0.15 m, spacing 0.08 m, current 100000.00 A Wiffleball radius: 0.15 m NO WB: Force pushing the top coil away is 9246.98 N W/ WB: Force pushing the top coil away is 9391.75 N See polywell_force.m...

I don't see how there can be any extra forces developed in a fluid that is not very viscous. I don't understand what extra forces in the fluid you are referring to here. I'm looking for an expression that will relate the average plasma pressure of the wiffleball to its radius. I believe it can be g...

It is simply a matter of equivalency of singularities that produce the integral resultants of the fields. There will be a change to the forces on the coils as surely as there is a change to the field between the coils and the wiffleball when the wiffleball forms. For the purposes of forces on the ph...

Grazing herds on the plains depositing dung is the best natural way of sequestering carbon. It is continuous ("sustainable" whatever the hell that means) whereas a forest of trees is a one time deal that may go up in smoke and back into the sky in one foul puff anyway. The faster the grass grows, th...

Keith: The image system can also provide interesting global quantites of the wiffleball. For example, I've been wondering for a while about calculating the magnetic forces on the coils, including for forces due to the image system of a formed wiffle-ball (using some appropriate radius)? I think it s...

Art you said or even that there are any internal fields at all. What would be the basis for thinking that there is zero magnetic field inside a structure such as the wiffle-ball? How would the electron plasma not carry some kind of field along with it? These would actually be some particularly diffi...

Well, well this is some news. Now lets see who else can reproduce these neutrons and determine if they are being produce as/when expected by the Bussard's theory. Bussard had a good grasp on the physics of this process, I just hope the experiments do it justice. It is slightly worrying that it seems...

It appears to me that the effects of the B field within the wiffleball are being ignored in the discussion of electron losses. If one looks at Indrek's visualisations of the field lines using the method of images and based on a perfectly spherical wiffleball, it is apparent that the Bfield WITHIN t...
