This is about as bad a news article on the subject as I have ever seen.

I think it is an indication though that ITER is falling out of favor.

Not to mention the article never even mentions Monkhorst, Rostoker, or Tri-alpha by name. It's "Mystery Project." Could be talking about Polywell except for it's UF instead of Albubu.

The Key is University of Florida and Boron.

Do a search. You will never guess what comes up. Heh.

That "less than a decade" is what the Tri-Alpha PR guys have been saying all along.

UF does seem to mean Rostoker and Monkhorst, although this article's 12 years old now.

So, if I may say so, this article does not say anything new. It could have been written 10 years ago. No hard facts, no real anything.

Maybe Pat read a VERY old press release and didn't notice the date?

Perhabs this patent has something to do with it?

http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20100002823

I can find no dating on it but it is published 100108. And the serial number on it seems to refer to the year of 2010.

Yes, that's a publication this year (last week or two, therefore).

I dunno how these guys keep oin pumping out what reads to me as almost exactly the same patent. They've been writing almost exactly the same patent for the last 20 [whatever] years!

Clever chaps.

As of this point in time no test devices or prototypes.

Nebel has already gone from WB-7 to WB-8 with an option on WB-9.

I wonder if I could raise funds for Magnetic Fusion. My principle is the Magnetic Confinement of Magnets.

It will fuse enough Hydrogens together to form Iron 57 with huge releases of energy because the iron will be magnetically confined and thus transfer its momentum to the reactor. Perfect for a space drive.

Integrate that over time and you get a space-time drive.

Some one just sent me a Gray Motor video and I'm still kind of dazed.

For your amusement and the total waste of a perfectly good 10 minutes:

How dos a working colliding beam reactor compete with a working polywell?

If they both work it will come down to economics and application.

By application I mean situations where the economics of the application determine which is preferable.

Say diesel vs gasoline engines.
