OH baloney, almost everyone on this forum is saying that!
Well yes in this forum, not the company, or so I have not heard.
I didn't say EMC2 is lying or desembling, but they are a one contract firm and they do have every reason to. Its a meal ticket.
there is some 'selling' that has to be done, in fact as it breaks down, for researchers it's typical to spend eighty percent of their time looking for funding, meaning they have to make their ideas look good to investors at least on what it could give them back. But I don't necessarly say it's EMC2 meal ticket. they simply want to bring Bussards idea to fruition.
Are you trying to imply that EEStor might be streaching technology? Well, I'd be the first to admit that they are pushing the tech. But not unrealistically. Read some of the current literature. Compare to old technology. Ten times more power at half the cost of led-acid batteries. Compare to new technology. Twice the power at much better cost that lithium ion batteries. There is nothing unbelievable about that. What is unbelievable is the current state of research using screen and ink jet printing.
I think EEStor is making claims that most people are taking a wait and see because it sounds to good to be true. With so many grandiose claims and almost nothing to show for it, I'm in that boat as well.
I've noticed that most people who are 'boosters' of Polywell tend to have a very emotional connection to it, they want it to happen so badly that they don't look at it objectively. Now, when there's no information, people are touting the "government is covering it up and wants it buried" because it was a failure.
Let's get serious, from a scientific point nothing is ever cut and dry, most of the time there is no "eureka" point where a world changing discovery occurs. Most of the time it's something small that is developed over years and often not for the purpose it originally was meant for.
I believe this, WB-7 has given us knowledge, if nothing but to let us know one more piece of the fusion enigma. Not saying it won't lead to something great down the road, but it will lead us.
