rcain: mostly catchup to begin with. The Sydney experiment is the first copper coil polywell outside of EMC2: http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/2009/12/25/new-copper-coil-polywell-on-the-scene/ I think it's doable on my budget. BenTC: Maybe these open source DAQ tools are useful. I don't know. I...

I think the easiest and most beneficial obstacle to tackle is LabView. I've already wired up many physical sensors, but I'm struggling on the software side. I could do so much more with the physical setup I already have. It's really been frustrating me. A new license of LabView Base is $1,249. Maybe...

Hey guys, let me start by saying it's encouraging to see your enthusiasm. It means more than you might realize. These last few months have been rough. Without even a minimal operating budget I have been stuck. Beyond that I've had to borrow money from friends just to pay rent and food. But that's al...

Our open source polywell is project of the day on Kickstarter:

Kickstarter is a community fundraiser site.

I did a question and answer with project leader Joe Khachan:

Here is a rough draft of a superconducting magrid with a vacuum insulated heat shield.

D Tibbets,

I'm using superconducting cable for this design, so no coil heating.

The fusor's red hot grid reminds me I can't ignore heating from ion bombardment as we design a superconducting polywell. This won't cut it: http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/2009/09/30/superconducting-magrid-irl/ The inner core of the magrid must stay at liquid nitrogen temperatures, while the e...

Did another fusion run last night. I used twitter as an experiment log: http://twitter.com/famulusfusion We got a single bubble during an 8 minute run. Calibration on the bubble detector label: BD-PND, 25 b/mrem(2.3 b/uSv) I'm working on the neutron rate calculations now. We may have experienced som...

I will do another run with better metrics soon. If I can repeat it a few times, we really have it. Still is very exciting seeing that bubble after not seeing it for so long.

Great news!!!!!!!!!

Prometheus Fusion Perfection has FUSED THE ATOM.

Take a look at the bubbles:

I'm so happy and so excited. This is the start of amazing things!

So far the comments section on my blog have worked really well. Time after time I've posted about a problem or cross roads, and received feedback that leads to a solution. But in general the comments only work if the right people are reading the blog on the regular (currently getting about 100 - 300...

neutron starr:

My goal is to build a working physical reactor. Nothing informs like actually doing it (not to say that computer simulations are not valuable).

Also worth a note: I received the YBCO superconducting cable today:

kraisee: got a link for that mega chamber?

zbarlici: Prometheus Fusion Perfection is currently a for-profit C corporation. I'm not opposed to establishing an NPO. But there may be advantages to being a for-profit, such as accepting private capital. Establishing a NPO would also require some paper pushing. However, I'm definitely opensourcing...
