I do not think they got 7,855,504.14 + 7,855,504.14. The two entries have the same contract ids.

There is more energy generated in the shot. the paper is only the initial impact and initial ignition. The energy probably does to 100-200 nanoseconds. They just stopped the simulation so far at 50 nanoseconds. So my guess is 3-7 times more energy. Plus I think more more energy with a faster shot. t...

depleted uranium around the target should utilize the neutrons.
So a fusion fission hybrid system

From page 5 - From these figures, we can see, though 80% of the fusion energy is wasted as almost transparent high energy neutrons, and most of the rest goes to electron and radiation, what remains is still enough to warm up the neighboring ions to fusion temperature, if the incoming bullet is fast ...

20 Kilowatt hours to produce one carat of synthetic diamond 1 carat is 0.2 grams 100 kilowatthours per gram 100 watthours per milligram One millimeter of water would be one millionth of a liter.

http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/diamond/diamomyb03.pdf Natural and synthetic industrial diamonds differ significantly in price (Boucher, 1997, p. 26.6). Natural industrial diamond normally has a more limited range of values. Its price varies from about $0.30 per carat for bort-size ...

The Hc2 tables that I see are on pages 11 and 12.

A recent very high critical field of 122 Tesla (by WHH extrapoliation) for the La based system.

From figure 10
NdFeAsO.7F.3 and Sm compound and another Nd compound seem to track to very high Hc2(Tesla)

http://isotope.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/possible-way-to-industrial-production-of-nickel-63-and-the-prospects-of-its-use.pdf Seems like centrifuges or laser enrichment is needed. Should be somewhat easier because of the greater mass differential between nickel 64 and nickel 58 and nickel 60. I...

You can just leave the nickel alone at around 1% Nickel64. You do not need to enrich the Nickel. You might want enriched nickel 64 to do some more conclusive tests to show that it is doing the active work. highly enriched with Nickel 64 Depleted. Get rid of all the Nickel 64 And then some in between...

I have been in correspondence with someone who is replicating and combining Arata and Rossi. Should have some interesting results over the next few months. When he gives me the all clear I will put out the results and background.

0.5 kilojoules in the beams and 1 kilojoule in the plasmoid

at my site- summarized two new focus fusion.org updates. LPP believes they are on pace to prove scientific feasibilty (I think energy breakeven for each shot) by the end of this year

http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100430/full/news.2010.214.html The Journal Nature has an article that provides details of a debate between the Ignitor supporters and ITER supporters Hasinger goes further in his scepticism of the IGNITOR reactor by questioning the feasibility of the whole project. Ha...

Launching tens of thousands of tons of supplies and raw materials at less than $1/kg would be huge. Do not have to have a lot of g-hardened electronics. Although the one hour long video of a google talk by Quicklaunch indicates that regular electronics (like for cellphones) is easily converted to a ...
