Looks like the first link (intended for Cosmic Log) in that last post at the iecfusiontech blog is wrong.

I don't understand what you mean by this: And, oh yeah, it [the tokamak] is a globally unstable flow topology. Or this: If the wiffleball effect is a true spherical inversion of the magnetic field carried by the plasma, as posited here, http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=650&postdays=0...

Not guarantee, nope. But it had a larger effect, as far as I've seen.

Insulting Dr. Nebel would have done it, if it had been up to me.

He's the exception to the rule? He went off on his raving monologue all on his own.. Not much value in saving that. Especialy not if it's going to dissuade people from joining the forum because of it.

That's the thing.. Attack what? If we want solutions, we need to properly define the problem first. Until then there's no telling attack from retreat.

With all due respect.. Why can't you guys stay calm?.. What's the need to panic like this? We're here for the polywell research and development and failing that, the rational speculation, like Doc Carlson has spurred on.. Everything else, especialy something as (dare I say) base as politics, is just...

My pov has always been that so long as the guys in charge in the experimental room are trustworthy, then time is on our side. Doc Nebel hasn't shown any hints of lacking political flair, as far as getting these experiments to their conclusion. This when he commented on turn-key polywells, etc.

Re: Silence

I think you would all agree that if we do not hear anything of it in the next few months, then the embargo is back on. Meaning that whatever the results are they are good enough to warrant further government funding/contract extension. Folks have been saying "a few months" since the middle of Augus...

Yes, but that's only because people fail the simple basics of proper scientific criteria. Both on the scientists' side and the public's. The public going much further than a glancing check at the scientific soundness of everything they deal with would be unfeasible. I think there was a recent study...
