simple physics

First and foremost, the data, what little has been released, has indicated that the #6 design made fusion at a rate almost unmeasureable against background. They could not duplicate due to failure of the device. There is no more proof that they achieved fusion than to say that I could not make a bet...

new thoughts

I have considered the design of the polywell for about two weeks now. I have done some further research in the library and online. I can tell you that this design will not work. It may be possible to go critical for a nanosecond but will never develop into a workable device. Each and every indicator...

I was reading of the Philo Farnsworth devices and link by link found the polywell. It is an interesting device, but in the form that it exist I do not beleive that it will work. I is my understanding that the larger one would be built differently(dodecahedron), but the principle would be the same. I...
