I will look at it tomorrow after I get back in again. Just got back now and I am beat. That and too many Pisco Sours...
The development of atomic power, though it could confer unimaginable blessings on mankind, is something that is dreaded by the owners of coal mines and oil wells. (Hazlitt)

I poked around on my laptop and have not found the file.
I am thinking it is back in the office via the desktop.
Once back in the land of "no goats on the bus" next week, I will pull it up and see what numbers I churned.

Shall we get ready for a party to celebrate the WB-8 success?
Can not wait to the end of Sep.
Please share, if anyone have some more inside news
"The WB8 completion date is listed as 9/30/2012"

Click on "View" to see the Mod itself..
The contract Mod finally posted in FPDS. However, no change in funding (yet).
The WB8 completion date is listed as 9/30/2012
The ultimate (WB8.1?) completion date is 3/31/2014
Hmmm.
Not sure what you're expecting or your definition of success, but what I do expect from a final report on WB8 is that so far the data substantiates the scaling theory. Also, the current contract's completion date is 10/31/2013 with ultimate completion date of 09/10/2014 and these are supplemental contracts, not contracts for working devices.emc3 wrote:Shall we get ready for a party to celebrate the WB-8 success?

Scott,
Thanks for posting the corrected dates. Saved me from doing it.
In any event, I think that any indication that they are moving on to 8.1 testing should be greated as a major win. As, by definition, it means that DD worked, and worked well enough to take a crack at PB&J.
As Kite likes to say..."tick-tock, tick tock..."

Well, I am back in the land of spoiled teenagers, but go figure, went right out the door again. A couple of days visiting one of my favorite places (Lincoln Labs) and then will finally get back to homebase to look for my napkin math.
I have not forgotten. Not that you probably care anymore...

guys, well done on the watch. without this thread we would be totally in the dark... rather than being... totally in the dark.
just wondered what level of 'confidence' we might put on such claims as:
and
if so, i think it very newsworthy.

"Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth."
Soon there will be at least one person on the planet whom has fused pB11 with the push of a few buttons. I am confident but wait for the data, which may not come to me personally for many decades. Hopefully much sooner though. I am not even 30 yet, I cannot wait to see what the next few decades bring and the next few decades after that.

hehe. slippery one. you oughta ha been a lawyer.ScottL wrote:...No claim
yes. i am 'quietly' optimistic also. but also, impatient for someone (other than Prometheus) to start some catchup work. i mean, if you knew someone had just uncovered DD Q>1 (projected), wouldn't you want to invest some effort, cash in order to be there, ahead of the field?.
if the BBC announced it, i would expect a (Deuterium/Boron) gold rush.
Well I think it is reasonable to be cautiously optimistic given the little we know. I'm certainly not going to go out and say yes this is the real deal, but I will patiently watch (like I have a choice.) EMC3 is just trying to troll the polywell as being comparable to the Rossi debacle. What he continues to ignore is that Rossi made an unsubstantiated claim, where as there is no such claim from the polywell project.rcain wrote:hehe. slippery one. you oughta ha been a lawyer.ScottL wrote:...No claim
