Here my objective is to give new meaning to the term Prior Art http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff283/mr_squeegs/wb8.jpg I have to start with fantastic rendering by Tony Rusi and Skip Baker. A concept coil arrangement that could improve reactor efficiency 3 fold. But alas, the coils are only one ...

Hey classicpenny all the best in spreading the good word. That p+B11 diagram you have drives me nuts :roll: I captured the same image from the 2006 IAC paper and i have it on my Ipod touch to back me up when i talk to people about fusion. Its a pretty simple reaction where a Proton and a Boron give ...

I believe it was Albert Einstein (or so I've been told) who said that the definition of insanity is when you keep trying the same thing over and over again and expect to get a different answer. Stupidity, Madness, Insanity. These all come to mind. Especially when i read things like Iter already has...

Screw the Space Elevator, Lets Launch Loop
As much as i love the idea of a space elevator. A cable thats 37,500 kilometers long, built out of materials that are yet to be developed seems a little far fetched for me. I was blown away when i recently discovered the Launch Loop . Its based on the inertia of an Iron cable 5cm in diameter moving ...

A few more good data points and the warming scare will be over. Me hopes so. Alas i fear we will be paying for it for years to come Its funny that in this madness we have almost established a carbon economy here in Australia. Carbon credits, carbon trading were due to come online soon . Some people...

Flash Fusor !
Presenting the Flash Fusor
I dont think the author knows anything about fusion, but its kinda neat how the particles get contained/bunched in the centre.
If only the particles followed the cusp lines you would have a polywell

Who is Paul Dietz ? He has one of the most credible critiques of the machine. He is either a) Correct b) Hasnt grasped how the machine really works Hoping for b) ...... on another note if i cant stop thinking about this machine the chances of me getting laid anytime soon is not significantly differe...

Oh, duh -- that article is from 2005. Bussard hadn't released his results yet then, which also means he probably isn't referring to Polywell specifically. Rider released his original papers critiquing the non Maxwellian approach in 1992. That gave him 13 years to corespond/fight with Dr. Bussard be...

^That paper should be instead called "Dammit im telling you fusion cant possibly work, oh yeah and that electrostatic one too" ^ Another great find Rob ! Recommended reading, it did a great job of summing up some of his objections stated in his earlier papers. I have read all of them but they were t...

Great thread guys ! While i have no argument that things are getting a little crowded here on planet Earth, the whole global warming thing just strikes me as really good way to get people to use less while paying for more. Simon, cloud feedback absolutely rapes the climate modeling guys. Its like sa...

Hmmm The links posted before just talk about scalar waves. darn interesting stuff, though. Im reading Maxwell's A tre...

Sensationalistic Rubbish.
If 17 Kelvin is room temperature, then WB6's 1E9 Neutrons produced net power.
