So In other other news

Post by Robthebob »

I got an internship with AFRL, (doing stuff i dont know how to do), gonna try to build some relations there. This is much later tho, I wanna be able to get funded doing polywell related stuff, but through the Air Force, if the Navy is doing it, why not the Air Force.

So I dont think i need to worry about money for a little while, and also just personally, I dont like how emc2 is refusing help like that, they're doing fine, but if everyone involved came together and delegate tasks, which means they still arent competing with each other, then the progress would go much faster.
Throwing my life away for this whole Fusion mess.

Rob,

Don't let pessimism or pessimistic folks get to you. It is easy to get frustrated.

I think that the leadership is lacking. There is no shortage of ideas, or enthusiastic smart people.

Things are changing. The amount of people investigating this idea is growing week by week.

Hopefully with cooperation, we can work through the problems.

They may be going slow(er than we like) but at least they are moving forward. Someone has to think it has at least a decent chance to work or the money plug would have been pulled by now considering the cuts going around.

That is what I think.

fact of the matter is, regardless of what happens, I'm going to do polywell research in the future, with or without the aid of emc2.

That is the spirit. I'm doing some microprocessor work these days as I promised a few years back at IEC Fusion Tech. If it pans out I'll be glad to donate effort to the project.

Hang in there. You are taking action, that is more than most.
