A couple of thoughts I have after working on this post for 2 months: 1. The Mirror ratio is a big deal. I think I smell a problem with Rider's 1995 paper.

Research on the Whifle Ball

Hello, I am starting to do research on the Whiffle Ball. A few months ago, someone on this forum (I think it was Dan Tibbets), said they had proven the Whiffle ball effect in Japan. Do you have a paper, or author, or group name, for this research? I think I may have found a mistake in Rider's Work h...

Idea: X-Ray reflection

Hello, This is just a hypothetical idea. What would happen if we reflected the Bremsstrahlung radiation off the walls and back into the center plasma? 1. The walls would definitely absorb some energy and heat up over time. This would depend on the surface area and the reflectance of the walls. This ...

I will make the corrections..

Sorry...

Eric, Sorry I am not familiar with those texts. www.askmar.com seems to be the best place to get good fusion and Polywell papers. We need to add to that collection of documents. A place where everyone can download good information about the Polywell. Anyone familiar with the legal side of this?
