Well, I am not dead yet.

Glad to see that you are still around!

I second that!

"MIT-designed project achieves major advance toward fusion energy" On Sept. 5, for the first time, a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet was ramped up to a field strength of 20 tesla, the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth. As a result, we are now well-pr...

If somebody next year comes up with new polywell results that finally move the ball down the field, I'd love for Talk-Polywell to be the place people discuss it. But if that never happens, is it worth keeping the board open? It's certainly worth keeping open. Topics on a site like Reddit just scrol...

Could an administrator email formerly prolific posters like ladajo and GIThruster to let them know their participation is valued and invite them to return?

Some elements of Congress are not pleased with this. Who knows, they might increase NASA's funding and demand that the "National Team" be taken on as well.

https://www.tokamakenergy.co.uk/tokamak ... on-energy/ In the next few months, this device will achieve 100-million-degree plasma temperature, far beyond anything achieved by other private fusion ventures , and the temperature required for commercial fusion energy. Hasn't LPP already announced that ...

Wikipedia has this section in its web page concerning polywell fusion now: In June 2019, the results of long-running experiments at the University of Sydney (USyd) were published in PhD thesis form by Richard Bowden-Reid. Using an experimental machine built at the University, the team probed the for...
