From what I can gather, work on this bill is due to be completed during Memorial Day weekend; so I understand the urgency. I guess the concern here is to not close the door on fusion-based solutions when energy providers are considering new sources of power generation. But I don't know whether to ta...

I'm sure a few people here have run into this already. Somebody is sitting on the domainname "polywellfusion.com". (I doubt if it's somebody here, but please correct me if I'm wrong...) He is probably waiting to make a profit of opportunity, i.e., for someone to make an offer. However, it's going to...

Yeah, I like this (classicpenny's site) as well. I'm going to start pointing people there. I just posted to a couple of NASA-oriented communities on Facebook and Google's Orkut.

When I first posted this thread, I did have misgivings in that I can't see milestones between the current work and the $100-200 full-scale system. A venture capitalist wants to see them. But as VCs go, it is not necessary to be the only financier of a project. I have to assume that EMC2 has some sor...

Think they're ready for polywell fusion? Taken from: http://www.google.com/ventures/ Google Ventures seeks to discover and grow great companies - we believe in the power of entrepreneurs to do amazing things. We're studying a broad range of industries, including consumer Internet, software, hardware...

Suppose there were a well-established venture capital company with current investments in things like photovoltaics, batteries, ethanol, etc. And they typically do first and second round financing which puts them in the range of $0.5 million to $5.0 million. (Yes, this more than just hypothetical; t...

What I read into this is that the Navy doesn't want to derail the program by putting it on DoE's radar. I understand this to a degree. The problem is, we really do need some better civilian energy alternatives to what exists. There are a couple of other approaches using p+B11 as fuel which are getti...

FY 2007 Accomplishments: The primary objective of this initiative is to revalidate and prove the effectiveness of inertial electrostatic confinement using the polyhedral magnetic field systems studied over the previous 19 years of R&D. The final success of the last tests in CY2005 will be reproduce...

There's article in the local paper about ARPA-E. "U.S. sees another 'Sputnik moment'" by Frank Davis, Mercury News Washington Bureau, on page 1 of San Jose Mercury News , March 2, 2009 The on-line version is titled: "Team Obama wants to pursue high-risk, high-reward initiatives on energy" http://www...

Heh. Somehow that was my first reaction. :lol: After picking myself off the floor, I decided I might be reading in too much and should double-check. I also did some more looking for "a short cut to fusion", landed on a bunch of articles about cold fusion, and lost my sense of humor. Before I attempt...

OTOH if you want the idiots guide here it is: a short cut to fusion.

Link? I tried googling, but the top hits were to a popular software product for Intel Macs.

The sidebar at http://iecfusiontech.blogspot.com/ has a newbies section. Are you referring to the "Polywell Primer" section or something else? I might send the technically inclined there -- that kind of newbie. I wouldn't send the venture capitalist there; some philanthropists maybe, others no. Am ...

In light of the Google "Project 10 to the 100", I assume that publicity would now be a good thing. I thought I saw someone quote Dr. Nebel saying that the review was in, the results were promising, and they're simply waiting for the Navy evaluation on where to go next. If I understand correctly from...

As I write the rest of this, I realize I'm rapidly falling into wishful thinking as there isn't much time. I wish this had been on my radar a couple of months ago... I suspect that if any proposal to build WB-8 is chosen to be voted on, then if we can get out the vote, the resulting publicity may ge...

In recent years, I've seen a number of good software development tutorials with live demo content in them. The only human presence is the voice of the presenter. These seem to be done in Shockwave/Flash format, but in much higher quality than what appears on YouTube. I've seen the ISDC slides that T...
