PS:Anyone care to discuss the probabilities?

My twopenny worth (these are the things I would expect to see before placing the bets); ... There seems to be a nice list of projects here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fusion_power_technologies Unfortunately I am not sure which ones are still under-work. Anything you want to comment on is ...

What about a different approach to this question:
What has to be demonstrated, that was never demonstrated before for polywell net energy reactor to be fully proven?

I guess this is ITER v2.0?

Some information from focus fusion: 1)The achievement of a pinch - done, confirmed? 2)At 25kV: Produce 1 MA, determine optiumum gas pressure 3)The theory that adding a small axial magnetic field, and thus a small amount of angular momentum, to the plasma will greatly increase the size of the plasmoi...

I am trying to compile all the fusion experiment projects into one table for comparison. Would you like to help me with Polywell, or any other project you know well?

PS:I dont think it is important what option does the reality represent, if the fusion power is possible or not at all, I just would like to know the favorites in the race.
PSPS:Fusion power is of course possible

So regarding tokamaks what are the breakthroughs that are required? Do we need a 10T tnt resistant chamber? Superconducting magnets does not seem to be a problem, but will they provide the required magnetic field? I heard superconductors stop working under some conditions, isn't high magnetic field ...

Please ask why fusion power is always one month away

I think it would be interesting to perform an objective analysis of existing fusion approaches to try to predict which approach will most likely succeed. I am not a physicist so I would like not to speculate myself, but maybe someone can try to list all the unknowns in each (or at least the one you ...

New departments will be created after alternative fusion has succeeded:
Department of Peace
Department of Happiness
Department of Rest
Department of Freedom
Department of Equal Rights
Department of Satisfaction
or alternatively all the funds will be directed to the Department of War

Well if there is absolutely no danger from nuclear weapons in the eyes of experts then what does this indicate:

I guess its time that it should be renamed from "Doomsday Clock" into a "A Clock of minor danger and some inconvenience".

If by destruction you mean - annihilation,
then you are discounting the nuclear winter, supply problems and radiation poisoning.
