Awright, I am still not 100% but, upon review, I think it is worded and layed out with the intent to flex the plan. WB8 = Good for DD, not good enough for PB&J => WB9 DD WB8 = GAHREAT for DD, looks good for PB&J => WB 8.1 (and Ion Gun) WB8.1 = Good for PB&J => WB9 PB&J 100mW or MW (lawyer driven ite...

Dang it, I hate it when you do that. Now I have to go read it again. I was really thinking the design package was a close out option based on 8 to 8.1 testing. (with 8.1 option being dependant on 8 results giving the idea that 8.1 would be worth a go.).

I hung up me gumboots a while back. One of the reasons I like being american now is that they have this thing called the 5th amendment and another thing called Ollie "I can't recall" North. Sheep, lambs, gumboots, water? nope, sorry, I don't recall. On the other hand, I would like to invoke the 5th....

Yes, but the WB-9 design requirement is ambiguous. I think it will most likely be based on the which worked better factor...WB8 or 8.1 If 8.1 rocks the lab, then I would expect they would then push to design based on that. If not, stick with a D-D. Of course, these are chained options based on succe...

If Josh wants to burn the flag, I'll stand in front protecting him with a gun if needed. Our country is strong because we value open debate and free opinion. Josh will learn from his exchanges here, as do we. Sure, I agree that he gets juvenile in his defense techniques, but doing so generates frict...

I had to look up the word "gamboling". I asked my six year old what it meant and he didn't know either. He promptly went back to playing "Mater-national" on the PS3. gamboling: To leap about playfully; frolic Then, I had to pause and wonder what kind of man would use such a horrible word? Then, I re...

For the part about my ability to distribute. Yes, I think going it again I can more clearly articulate the depth I could reach with the public. But again, it has to be me, not me asking someone else to do it, or posting on someone elses blog as a comment. But to some degree, that point is arguable. ...

I think the resources resident via talk-polywell and related sites could reach probably 500,000 odd folks directly. The issue was I don't think I articulated that well enough, and it has to be me that does it as the requestor. As far as the notional target for how many, no idea. I really don't have ...

For future posterity, I wanted to clarify the reasons given why NAVAIR Weapons denied full fee waiver and granted the 2hrs /100pages option instead. They were very helpful and explained the fee waiver determination nicely. Both on the phone and in the letter. They explained the full criteria require...

I have been giving the HV leakage issue thoughts as well. If we can come up with some type of not-so-outgassy ceramic laminate construct, coupled with the the stands being in the shadow of the coils, thus minimizing or eliminating contamination being embedded/created by bombardment over time, it mig...

Wall Mounted coils = No nubs between coils The mounts would be in the shadows of the coils, and the lengths of the mounts would be determined by the <oscillating?> plasma spikes from the cusps. I, as stated several times, like the idea of wall mounting. And it certainly is also possible with higher ...
