It has. It gets referred to as "POPS" here, search for it if you want more info.

This "R.A. Nebel" fellow sounds familiar. I'm sure I've heard of him before somewhere. But where?
n*kBolt*Te = B**2/(2*mu0) and B^.25 loss scaling? Or not so much? Hopefully we'll know soon...

Isn't he the guy who used to post on one of these forums? I think that guy crawled down a black hole but I don't have any data.

That name is familiar. I think I heard rumors he's now working over in the Pegasus galaxy, "Stargate" widget or something like that.

I did find this on a google search on emc2, I think its slide 10 that shows RNebel and JPark with WB7 in the background.

I heared a rumour they blew themselves up in a large mushroom cloud/lab incident along with half the Navy research establishment - the government hushed it all up of course......a consipracy is suspected, obviously... just a rumour

The second link shows a partial view of the vacuum chamber for WB7 (the 10th picture in the series) which shows more detail in the ports and the size. I wasn't sure if Dr Parks was still involved, apparently he is.

The third link includes a paragraph about EMC2 and a heat/ arcing problem. I guess this referred to the heating of the nubs and efforts to better understand the process. Apparently it was more than a mild heating and, if so, suggests that eliminating or minimizing the effect may provide significant improvement in performance.

Good finds!

The caption says it's J Park and Glen Wurden of LANL.

Rick is offworld.

Yeah, I thought that version of Rick looked rather unfamilar.

The article Choff pointed out clears one thing up. I always believed both Nebel and Park were Drs., but they never use the honorific themselves, so it was nearly impossible to confirm. The article definitely says "Dr. Jaeyoung Park."
