People tell me (Dr. B, Dr. N among others) that I did a pretty fair job of marketing Polywell with zero money.I do not have any money left to afford a marketing plan.
You did and are doing an excellent job! This forum is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks, you give me hope!MSimon wrote: People tell me (Dr. B, Dr. N among others) that I did a pretty fair job of marketing Polywell with zero money.
This is the Internet age. You don't need money. Just time, a computer, and an i'net account.
As an experiment / event designer/planner/lead, I ran into the money problem for participants a lot. As MSimon mentioned, this is now the internet age. GIThruster, any chance SPESIF 2011 could support a virtual presentation and question and answer period? All Johanprins would need is a computer and web camera (or if you have access to a full on video conference cabilibty that would be ideal) and he could participate (Skype maybe?). While it will never replace face to face gatherings, it gets pretty darn close and should fit the bill for what is needed here.I would very much like to do so, but am not at present in the financial position to afford such a trip
Room temperature (or higher) superconduction is not related to Space, Propulsion or Energy?!!The SPESIF platform seeks to promote the exchange of information among technologists, academicians, industrialists, and program managers on technical and programmatic issues related to the Space, Propulsion and Energy Sciences.
At home I am on broadband (after 23 August) and I do have skype. To access a real conference facility might be more difficult, but if I do get an invitation to do such presentation I might be able to force the Innovation Hub in Pretoria to supply me with this.GIThruster wrote: Johan, can you get access to a relatively fast web connection?
Not surprising. Since the theoreticians at the Jet Propulsion lboratory voted down a proposal that they should repeat my measurements, since my claims violate the BCS model of superconduction, I have been completely blocked by all Conferences and Journals to get my message across. It seems there is a blacklist and I have been placed on it. I do not want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but there is no doubt that I am known at DARPA, Office of Naval Reseach, NASA etc. and has been classified as "unsavoury".GIThruster wrote: Yeah, my complaint too. I've known Tony for years, and I pressed him to get him hard only to get him to say "no" twice. I don't think anyone is going to get a different answer. Sorry.
Well I do not want to be negative, but it might be better if I do not take part in a conference which chooses topics which are REALLY cranky! For example, Zeilinger interprets his results in terms of Wheeler's "participatory" universe which is nothing else but fairytale. See excerpt on double-slit diffraction on my website. It is not difficult to prove in terms of real physics that these topics are mostly Alice in Wonderland stories: Except for non-local transfer of matter which occurs through the room-temperature superconducting phase I have discovered 10 years ago.DeltaV wrote: Here are a few of the mainstream science talks that were allowed at SPESIF 2010:

Thanks, you had me worried!DeltaV wrote:I was being facetious with the "mainstream science" part. I'm just picking on a few of their presenters. I don't want to cast aspersions on valid work like Woodward and others.
Amazing! But I have also found that God can be quite facetious!Speaking of conspiracy theory, I just tried to make a post suggesting that diamond superconductors are already in use on the "dark side" when my internet connection locked up. Draw your own conclusions.
They should then be interested whether superconduction is at all possible above room temperature and which properties a material must have to make this possible. But nobody wants to know this. One can then start to search for bulk materials. My superconducting materials at present consist of thin layers; but there is no reason why it is not possible to stack them.If you could convince the superconducting aircraft motor people that bulk diamond superconductors above room temperature are possible, the money could start to flow. Engineers and venture capitalists, not mainstream physicists. The whole aircraft industry is on a one-way path to electric propulsion, whether they all realize it or not.
I've started working on the ME aspect. We'll see what happens.Simon, Johan needs money to construct large test articles. People will want to see evidence they can hold in their hand, pass around to various labs, etc. That requires an experienced MBA, a business plan and access to investors. Think you can find all that on the web?
