Thank you Mr Tibbets I am a bit more optimistic now with your information. You spent a good amount of time on that post I appreciate it. We really need that F.A.Q hosted and maintained somewhere so the knowledgeable people can move on to other things while keeping the ignorant people in the loop (li...

Polywell FAQ part I What is a maGrid? The maGrid is short for magnetic grid. It is the circular electromagnets that contain the electrons and ions in the potential well. All polywell magrids so far have had 6 electromagnets. Future designs may employ more than 6 (how many? Why is more better?) Why ...

How is the field going to penetrate half a meter of shielding? Unobtainium with vacuum permeability? Yikes!

Well I guess that settles it then. Unless this were to be run in pulsed operation superconducting magnets are essential. We can use the Stefan-Boltzmann law to find radiation heat transfer between surfaces in a vacuum. The electromagnets would have to be cooled by liquid helium, and around that a de...

Magnetic field strength is evidently a lot more important than the radius. I'm not an expert on electromagnets but this is what I've gleaned from wiki: Ferromagnetic core electromagnets can be thousands of times more powerful than electromagnets with just air cores. An iron core magnet therefore req...

Ok I've made an xls spread sheet attempting to make sense of this.

Is there a reference design to refer to in order to get figures from this equation? It is incomplete as is. P_g = some Testlas * some radius. What is a Telsta radius? What is it worth? Magnetic field strength is a force. Not a power. Could that be a multiplier we could use on a base coefficient? Wou...

Westinghouse
Where is George Westinghouse when we need him?

Without him we would have never heard of Testla.
