My opinion is that they probably know less than what we do.

Forgive my ignorance of thermoelectric physics, but could a solid-state cryocooler be created using high ZT materials? rcain already gave you quite a complete answer. I can only add this nice comparison chart between different type of cooling devices and advantages/disadvantages of each: http://www...

What I really like of this work is the totally different path they choosed in pursuing the thermoelectric effect in respect to actual research.

Should their model hold during manufacturing we might see the first energetic revolution coming from an unexpected player (at least unexpected for me).

Pretty interesting theoretical model.

Looks like thermoelectric understanding is making some nice interesting leaps.

I am still convinced that N Korea did not make any type of nuclear tests, nor there is any proof or solid evidence that they have enough weapon grade plutonium to make a bomb. Most of the evidences are pointing to a standard explosive test that was "sold" to the rest of the world as a nuclear test. ...

Maybe they are going to bring back clippper class vessels? Green power for the Navy. More likely they will go to pay a nice trip to france to some obscure 50+ member commission to investigate the yet to be opened site of the Iter. You know, private Jet, Limo, fancy hotels, couple of girls for each ...

I'm just more and more worried that they have confused beam-target fusions in the wall/magrid with volumetric fusions. From the few info that Dr. Nebel shared I do not feel this is the case. We need to see proof of isotropic fusions. Just read the history of fusion devices - constant confusions ove...

The reply to that question and many other was partially supposed to come from EMC2 secreted experiments.

I guess we will find out only when they will release some info.

Isn't that the history of Tokamak research--"money for nothin' an' yer chicks fer freee. . ." Yeah, and if we sing also "So far away from me" we will have the complete research status of fusion in today's world. Money for nothing to research and result that are far away from me. And youngsters keep...

He probably found a place where more more interesting discussions (physics wise) are going on.
Hopefully he will pop up again once he sees something worth to talk about, like the news in this thread.

Also general fusion will be present with some papers.
It's going to be a meeting of interesting people and I wonder if there will be some interesting disclosures also.

The Focus Fusion model is shameless overpromising hucksterism. Does anyone really think they're going to achieve net power in the next four months? Who believes they'll even get detectable p-B11 fusion in 2010? Their timeline is a bad joke. I guess we will know while they proceed. For sure if they ...

Slide 11 of the PDF explains it pretty well.

I was looking at it right now.

It's nice to finally see mainstream journalists to speak about these possibilities.
Only few years ago it would have been a chimera.

Hopefully something good will come out from Thorium while we wait for the Boron solution to take over the world....
