EMP

It's annoying to see Hollywood waste money on such foolishness when a few minor changes could make the foolishness into a solid and believable movie with an important message. The NK "secret weapon " seems to be an EMP device. Crippling all of North. America with 3 or 4 EMP nucs exploded over NA in ...

Isn't this a tokamak trick?: "...modified the electron injectors to increase the plasma heating." And wouldn't "The higher plasma density" imply that the Whiffle ball was not as large as expected, thus "...prompted the need for higher heating power."? And isn't this a good thing?: "We plan to operat...

Why did Dr. Nebel leave EMC2 for Tibbar?

Why did Dr. Nebel leave EMC2 for Tibbar? Apparently he is still doing physics; so health issues are most likely not a factor. a) Was there a conflict of personalities within EMC2? b) Or did Dr. Nebel come to believe that the Polywell was no longer as promising? c) Or did he become frustrated with th...

Gray Actually Wrote the Novel I Tried to Write!

I just finished reading A Green Sun by Charles Gray, and I recommend it highly. It is available for $1.99 in Kindle format at http://www.amazon.com/Green-Sun-Fusion-Age-ebook/dp/B005GBPEAE/ I did my best to write the Polywell novel that Charles Gray has actually written. I wrote a Prologue, 6 Chapte...

Are you serious? I will assume you are. 1. High School kids love this kind of stuff - plus it is highly motivational: it helps them to see the relevance of physics and math - the Polywell is a dramatic illustration of how science and math connect to the real world. 2. High School kids will be voters...

I understand that years ago, Tom Ligon and Dr Bussard were constrained by non-disclosure agreements until that older project ended. Much more recently in Nov 2010, pbreed was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement when he visited the sight in San Diego. When you object that the project was not cla...

Tokamak on the Blindside

I sometimes speak to High School Science Classes about the Polywell. Lately, I have been trying to get speaking engagements with local service clubs and other local groups. There is a "Great Issues" Group that meets in the next town over. When I read the description of their group, I thought "Great ...

I have been rebuilding my website http://www.polywellnuclearfusion.com during the past month. A few of the old problems have been addressed but now (of course) there are new problems. The old website wasn’t getting many visitors, and I was beginning to feel that it wasn’t accomplishing my goal. That...
