Re: Zero Point Laser

So if you can create photons out or the quantum vacuum can you then bring these photons to use somehow? Wouldnt that mean zero point energy? I though that was discredited already? Not so much discredited as known methods are so difficult and inefficient as to not be worth it. This however, looks to...

Re: Our Current Economic Malady Explained

if dy/dg > 0 Government spending improves the economy (there is a profit) This condition would also be satisfied if both the rate of change of GDP and of Government spend were both falling. If both GDP and Government spend were falling, but GDP was falling faster than Gov spending, then this would ...

Re: Our Current Economic Malady Explained

dy/dg < 0. http://classicalvalues.com/2013/03/its-the-technicals/ What's g? If y is a sample of Y (GDP) and g is a sample of G (Gov spending) this would look wrong. Otherwise, if rate of Gov spending was dropping and rate of GDP growth was positive then dy/dg would still be < 0 ? What would be the ...

Re: JET lining being replaced

Based in Culham, Oxfordshire, JET is a collaborative project between 26 European countries and, at 16mW, it's the continent's largest fusion device.
A 'Freudian slip', but pretty much sums up how close it is to delivering any useful network power.

Re: Perfect Energy Source

There are comments in this that, together, show a dismal logic: "Construction will complete in 2020 with a fusion burn expected by 2030." = "After my retirement, I'm in it for the ride" "There are other approaches to fusion -- for example the laser experiments at the National Ignition Facility in Ca...

Re: Rossi USPTO patent progress.

That's what you are supposed to believe. No. It is simply a statement of fact. It is possible to file a US patent that does not appear as a publication until it is examined, but this means there are various limitations on the patent, such as not filing it abroad. Or it is, obviously, also possible ...

Re: Rossi USPTO patent progress.

Polywell was simply rejected at the last attempt at USPTO, for lack of enablement. None of its applications have been subject to this.

Re: Rossi USPTO patent progress.

Someone is taking Rossi patent application waaaay to seriously!! The patent application claims are so broad and easy to work around, it is difficult to see what issues are arising with it, even if it is in force.

Re: and Justice for All

Another regulator, Fed Governor Jerome Powell, said closing a bank is appropriate when that bank has been convicted of a crime. But he also said that only the Justice Department has the authority to prosecute a bank for a crime. In the UK, anyone can 'lay information' on a crime at the Magistrates ...

It may also be noted that the last post is both for a general case, and also in the eventuality that someone says that a force generated either way would cause a power demand from a propellantless thrust. Of course, the much more trivial observation is that during conventional SHM with forces derive...

... the power consumption of the engine comes out dependent on the relative motion v = vr - vu. So, just like a hybrid car can take it's own kinetic energy and turn it back into stored energy. If you hit the thruster in "reverse", then F -> -F, and the power goes negative. So, any time the thruster...

OK. Looks like these expressions are intending to be saying the same thing, just missing the common language describing them. Apologies due to kcd. Looks like a chrismb mis-comprehension issue with the terminology 'what the pilot reads from the engine'. The pilot's frame is accelerating and already ...

Um, by definition P = Fr*vr + Fu*vu. Well, it's not entirely wrong but easy to get confused on the signs. Remember Fr = -Fu, and vr = -vu.(Mu/Mr) So these add up to a double negative, so the two terms add. Now; F*vr > F*v [because v is taken as the velocity of the rocket instantaneously after accel...
