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...

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 ...

Hehe...I didn't catch that. Previously it had EMC2's actual. You could Google Earth it and get a nice zoom on the building. I've weaned myself off of donuts in the past years.
