can we go back to being productive now?

I'm planning to do my PhD on polywell geometry. My plan is to test performance improvement in polywells by only changing the geometry. There are at least a couple questions I need answering. I understand that maybe no one in the world can answer some of these questions. 1. To keep the power needed f...

I see, my understanding of well depths may be incorrect. I was under the impression that geometry can improve confinement and reduce loss rates, thus more electrons confined in the machine, which means well depth would be deeper. for machines of similar sizes and dimensions, more electromagnets of s...

sorry, I didnt mean to make it sound like loss rates only depended on geometry. imo, with higher order shapes, the confinement can only get better, not worse; this should be true regardless of size, now as the size go down, the well depths of a lower and higher order shapes polywells should converge...

I'm pretty certain that well depth is dependent on loss rates, which is depended on geometry.

Whoa now, I'm not even doing any fancy. I just want to measure the well depths. I dont think there's any reason to have ions in the system. I have a lot of questions that needs answering before I even draw up a plan for presenting. But basically I'm asking, "If I only changed the shape and everythin...

so good news, my boss said i can do it for my phd. Then I remembered, didnt emc2 already do something similar? (like examining geometries) Anyways, I'm gonna have to come see some of you in person and talk to a bunch of people first before i do any of this. PS: my boss said he doesnt know where i ca...

did you just say 5 times?! I dont know if my boss will let me do this, I still have to get my masters first, so it wont be for a little while. If I can, I'll probably build a very small one, probably pulsed too, about the size of the first Sydney machine. There's a lot of technical details (like spa...

When you wind both the square and triangular magnets of a cubeoctahedral MaGrid with a little rounding of the corners, the result looks something like this. The X-Cusp is where the funny cusp would be except there is no metal there. I see, this is a geometry issue, and we shouldnt blame them for go...

Hmmm, would not being able to push electrons into the machine necessarily be bad (it probably is bad, I doubt its easy for electrons to bounce off the outside mirror and somehow get into the machine)? the mirror also works on the outside, I think the mirror works better on the inside, and as the ele...

Last we publicly heard from emc2 is that they have problems pushing electrons into the machine operating at high field. Can someone explain this to me in more detail? And answer some of my questions? 1. does the electrons have too low energy or too high energy? 2. does the difficulty of the electron...

apparently another party discovered this independently. It's indeed graphene.

Excuse me, any publicly known organization even close to emc2.
