Re: US Senators: What Will ITER Really Cost?

So, I guess it would be true if only talking about a vacuum. If you want to talk about plasma pressure that is always considered at the edge. Therefore in vacuum. As plasma by its property is strongly diamagnetic. http://tfy.tkk.fi/aes/AES/courses/crspages/Tfy-56.173_07/contributions/Diamagnetism_J...

Re: US Senators: What Will ITER Really Cost?

Joe, how someone that knows so much about plasma physics to not know about so call good curvature and bad curvature is beyond me. I've long since concluded that Joe is a literal bird brain in relation to the tokomak, parroting articles he's read without really understanding what he's reading. Thank...

Re: US Senators: What Will ITER Really Cost?

Joe, how someone that knows so much about plasma physics to not know about so call good curvature and bad curvature is beyond me. continuous (infinite) toroidal is worse than full of holes (casps)? If to recall that always casp losses in all earlier built machines were exceeded expected values. Or ...

Re: Why ITER gets all the money

Because it gets good press. I am afraid you overestimate the power of press. Comparising TOKAMAKs with all other approaches experts (and not laymans) state that namely TOKAMAK is the most promising way. That's kind of like saying the NBA experts all state that basketball is the best sport. Tokamak'...

Re: Why ITER gets all the money

However, there is the fuel generation problem. And the high neutron flux. Two things that rarely get mentioned. There is not any problem with tritium generation. As well as there are some solutions how to withstand neutron flux at commercially acceptable level. Yes, aneutronic fusion not generating...

And these photos prove what? Did not Rossi say he was shipping three units (one of each flavor)? Did not Rossi say he was shipping to the US? He put his box on a truck? So what. I was not here long time. Is Rossi still alive? He has already THREE secret customers in USA? And all they are military c...

Re: US Senators: What Will ITER Really Cost?

Unfavorable field curvature is a much stronger argument. Please prove that TOKAMAKs have "Unfavorable field curvature". I am afraid that you can quote nothing more than Bussard's reasonings. Once again, if to compare two toroidal devices TOKAMAKs and Stellarators and to follow to Bussard's reasonin...

Re: US Senators: What Will ITER Really Cost?

One way to visualize the issue is... how many stars have you seen that are known to be toroidal? Dear Kiteman, for your reference, geometrically spherical is a vacuous case of toroidal when minor radius is equal to nil. The second question is how correct is to compare gravitational confinement geom...

Re: Lockheed Martin Skunkworks - Compact Fusion

I am kinda annoyed by the fact that they present their device and expect people to jump on the bandwagon, but they dont provide any technical details about how it works. Instead there are too many words on energetic challenges that humanity has and how fusion is good: 6 orders of magnitude more ene...

Why did you not blow the Roki Tunnel before the Russians used it to invade? This question is not to me but to our President who is spoiled by the Western propaganda thinking that wars begin when CNN deploys cameras and comes to an end when displaces them (c). Yes, we had to blow Roki Tunnel and had...

Regarding China, they take crude oil from the same places as USA, and they produce steel and other base resources at quantities needed for their economics. No, they do not. Especially oil.

You actually sound like you believe the brainwashing stupidity of the Communist Propagandists that they always were the best at everything. I see very similar in your words despite well known and very simple numbers. Similar speculations like "it's so but .... it's not so". I did not believe commun...

Yes Joseph, you can compare 7 to 14. It is half. As for the infection that killed the Soviet Union, hmmm. I wonder who helped them catch it, and also helped make it worse, and eventually fatal. I wonder indeed. They were in an economic war they could never win. Shame. Yes 7 is a half of 14. But com...
