Is this what the MagGrid is? When Bussard states he is: turning on the MagGrid, does this mean he is switching on the voltage drop between the rings and the cage? The "magrid" is short for "magnatic grid" - the magnets protecting the grid from collision and the grid itself. The "beta=1" condition B...

Well, we've got 4 million fewer employed now than when Obummer took office. We've got much higher cost of living than when QE started, exactly as could be predicted by Friedman. He didn't get us out of the depression started by the DOJ Microsoft judgement collapsing the dot-com bubble. But - no gove...

A lot of crap passes peer review, and is pickecd up after publishing as crap and retracted. Peer review looks mostly at form, was the experiment attempted scientifically, was the mathematics properly formulated? It often does not go into the question of whether the experiment was sound, or whether t...

I am an independent person, I believe in personal liberty, minimal government and personal responsibility. Being on Disability, which I have drawn out about what I paid in after only 5 years, I feel frustrated. If I didn't have the disability, I'd be homeless again, which is not fun. I can claim all...

As far as it goes, Cs137 production from U233 is less than from U235 - but not significantly less. But, by being in liquid phase to start, the Xe137 precursor to Cs137 will bubble out while liquid, and then decay in the atmospheric chamber, not in the fuel, so we should see cs137 concentrations of a...

Cold fusion died with the majority of the scientific community because it could never be reliably duplicated and had no workable theory. Well... not quite. Cold Fusion suffered badly from the perception that Pons & Fleishman were not rigorous or honest. The experiments showed fairly quickly (by 199...

Your appeal to authority is pointless. Woodward isn't a "world renowned physicist" - he's a kook physicist who most physicists ignore, working on an obscure and silly thing. I assume most physicists haven't bothered with checking his results because they haven't seen anything worth double-checking. ...

JTAG is not "obscured with robust countermeasures" - I have seen chips designed to operate as memory normally, but when a specific sequence of addresses was accessed, to enter a special mode. That sort of thing is fairly common. The programming and configuration level available indicates this is a d...

In nuclear energy calculations, energy transfer must happen from interactions. When you are talking about negative ions at one velocity transferring energy to electrons at another velocity, you have coulomb interactions. Imagine a single H+ ion passing through a cloud of e-; furthermore, assume that...

It has been my experience that, while laid back, most pot smokers are fairly industrious. The "lazy bum pot smoker" stereotype is not the norm, but a lot of lazy bums smoke pot, because it lets them continue to be relaxed even though their life is shit and they really should be dissatisfied and work...
