Re: 2020 compared with 1920

We may live to see man-made horrors beyond our comprehension. Three of these will come true, choose your three: 1. A world war. 2. Bioweapons designed to attack food crops will be released and become out of control. 3. Experimental chemicals injected into farm animals survive in meat and produce hor...

Yeah, I just ignore posts by him. It is annoying but I can simply avert my clicks from posts made by him and he gets to vent his thoughts.

A great idea. I was imagining how such a compound would react to a vacuum environment. People often say(in posts on this site) out gassing must be considered, though I am uncertain if it would be a particular hindrance if one were to deploy this ceramic-epoxy substance. If a high temperature toleran...

You brought up an interesting point. Should people not post ideas that could be patentable if said ideas had fully dimensioned schematics, 3-d drawings, computer simulations, composed materials, methods of operation, and methods of fabricating said machine? Just a question other readers might have. e

i am drawing the coils insulated by a layer of boron nitride/carbide with 1/16" diameter channels/tubes in the lower 25%(closer to copper coils) for cooling gas or liquid to flow through. i thought it would work out nicely to keep the temperatures at bay. xenon piped through for cooling. it looks co...

You know drmike, I was thinking of a way to inject electrons into the core. Assuming an octagon shaped grid with 6 sides(even the truncated dodecahedron but I am playing with a simpler shape). You are thinking of a coil gun type injection system, why don't you use a slightly cup shaped portion (that...

Electric field VS electrons in motion = who wins?

I am curious: will an electric field from a capacitor repel electrons which are "flying" towards the field? My thought process is: what if the electron rich plate of a capacitor was used as part of the polywell device itself? There would be the electron rich plate separated by a dielectric, then an ...

Yeah, maybe helium could be used, energized to plasma state and run current through it. With the intent of the magnetic field of high(sufficient for the needs) teslas without using superconductors. The coil would be made of ceramics with high thermal conductivity and very high dielectric strength. I...

Thanks for the heads up Tom. I had a conversation with a coworker and he suggested 3ds max. He gave me a primer and I am very impressed at the apparent ease of use as well as the powerful options.
