Ok, Las Vegas.

It is too far from wisdom but attempt to relieve you and your adherents of false and therefore non-productive expectations. As I expect that people who made already several less informative demos will go on to make scam.

Will anyone be in Austin, TX in early August? http://www.ni.com/niweek/ This is where Defkalion has reportedly been telling everyone they will do a public demo. They're also giving a paper at this, apparently: http://iccf18.research.missouri.edu/ Will anyone be in Hollywood? This is where David Cop...

He has got a rise out of the most serene of members here, and he clearly loves doing it, and does it for its own sake. • Is repulsive well a well? • Please define "scattering cross section on 1 deg" • Please explain how pinch occurs. Then please explain why it is "self-evident" that three unidirect...

potential well reversed and is repulsive, not attractive Repulsive well is well? :) Why do folks not have the common sense (and balls, sweat and tears) to actually try building something before shooting off their daft theories to bore everyone, and fill up the annuls of academic publications with t...

But at a minimum Joe, the Polywell configuration does make neutrons from fusion. Like any other thermal mirror machine. And not as predicted harmonic motions of ions. And if so electron heating is not the best way. First because electron (especially when that is non-relativistic) beam is more vulne...

It also gives you a tendancy to speak strongly on things you know not. I think you know some stuff Joe, and I also think you don't know some stuff. Nobody knows everything ecept may be the God. (c) But I speak with confidence only that I know well. Many Soviet staff became outdated today, but the S...

Until you do something actually useful, I think it is pointless to engage you anymore on this. Kind of like your opinion about Joe. The irony is a bit painful for me. Cause I think a lot more of you than Joe. Yes, he more than Joe likes Rossi as well as he likes Polywell. Both (Rossi and Bussrad) a...

First, you second point, I'm uncertain of your assertion. The Debye length is dependent on the density, but also the temperature. For convenience consider the Polywell as operating at 10 X the average temperature of a Tokamak. So if you are using that as your baseline you need to adjust. Ok. Let’s ...

It may not form an FRC plasma. Only the B-field geometry is resemble of a FRC devise but is not elongated. The inner coil have the place of the FRC plasma in the B-field. The plasma confinement in this devise may be located as in my pictures. I did not see your pictures. But: 1. Endless "like FRC" ...

If the central coil is relatively small and have the same direction of its B field as the outer coils. It should take the please as the plasma in a FRC. ..... No open line cusps. For your reference: An FRC (field reversed configuration) is an elongated plasma ellipsoid conducting an azimuthal curre...

Terrible argument. This isn't a court of law. Kiteman is forgetting that science rules a little differ from crime legislation. Scientific community isn't interested in evaluation of someone’s degree of fault. But that is interested in validity of his statements. And in science and engineering you a...

3. Look I'm grateful you let me know that you can inject neutrals into a plasma in a donut machine to generate flow (which btw, it kinda only generate flow and not electric current, very different things), which actually you can do in a stellarator too, or actually any donut machine. And finally, t...

Mr., Stellarators with current producing significant field (and you provided me a link of proposed and not built machine with 4 MA bootstrap current) stops being stellarator converting into tokamak. Beta is defined only for magnetic confinement and always calculated at the edge of plasma. Beta insid...

1. So it's good you defined the location, so it's a local beta. You run into problems going from machines to machines, because different machines have different designs. The family of donut machines, generally defining beta at the plasma edge is reasonable. However, once you start looking at beta i...
