Haha. Id prefer to send my vinyl of "this is the end" to the tokamak boys.

When we get around to firing a polywell up, im sure "light my fire" would be on the playlist. =D

It was good to hear the doctors last interview. Thanks for the link MSimon. It may help spread the word a little further, although i doubt appearing on American anti gravity is going to help the polywell's credibility. I dont have anything against Tim Ventura but i read into the Nazi Bell (secret na...

I concur Stephan

couldn't of said it better myself

Thank you Dr. Bussard for having the courage and vision to give the polywell to the world. You were a source of inspiration to countless people worldwide.

It is now our mission to build it, make it work, and make sure you get the recognition you deserve.

In any case microwaves add to the energy dispersion of the beams. Not a problem in tokamaks. Definitely a problem in IEC. Could you be a little more specific ? One thing i was banking on was the direct energy conversion system being a massive positively charged grid surrounding the outer perimeter ...

MSimon microwave ovens operate 2.45ghz. That equates to a wavelength of 12.24cm. Most design and calculations use the 1/4 wavelength as the fundamental unit. I have been writing a paper lately about my polwell. Be it a collection of fresh ideas and perspectives that i hope will influence the machine...

There was a good quote in that article "First: you need not be a genius to make an important contribution to physics" "even if you make a minor contribution, if it is not important, then this gives an enormous satisfaction. Therefore I do believe that one should not always aspire to tackle what is m...

This is featured at the end of Thomas McGuire's PHD Thesis On Multi gridded IEC fusion and Ion Cloud Synchronization (FEB 2007).

Nice one Tom

I like "theory of everythings" that operate on simple geometric models. Less is more, more or less. String theory seems like an exercise in complex absurdity. MSimon you might enjoy this http://www.physorg.com/news96027669.html Anyhows since when did you find the time to discover the universal manif...

So correct me if im wrong but basically because the navy reintroduced their funding, that put EMC2 back under a non disclosure immediately. Therefore they cant even disclose they fact they got funded ? It seems to me that the powers that be are either 1. Intentionally crippling the advancement of po...

Dear respected engineers @ EMC2. Could you please tell me the inductance value of one of WB6's coils ? How does the geometry of the coils together (in tetrahedral form) influence the inductance of a single coil ? It would really help me out with the polywell im building right now. The scientific com...

Let me reliterate a little. One needs an electron source to form a virtual cathode. How will injecting electrons at 1mhz, 10mhz, 100mhz, 1ghz effect the formation of a virtual cathode if any? Do the guns really need to be time aligned / in phase for a virtual cathode to form ? How long would it take...

So its been a bit quiet over here in the design forum. While the rest of the world argues over non Maxwellian distributions and core synchronization issues, i think there is still a lot that can be gained from designing a virtual polywell. One that does not need expensive components, one that simply...

One night i once met a lovely chap on a street corner. He was selling some type of white powder. I dont know what it was, but he also said; "The first one is free" :D 1176 - Energy deposition of charged particles and neutrons in an inertial confinement fusion plasma - looks good, ill have to read it...

Because the resonance is natural it should (in theory) be possible to feed in power in or out of phase to control the amplitude of the oscillations. Very nicely said. People, the thing to realise here is that fusion output squares as the density of the ion species increases. Hence if we can drive (...
