Given that effort is no measure of the quality of a decision, I think it's rather more interesting to view the study in terms of how certain circumstances could influence the outcome of a discussion or a vote. And to analyse where and how parties are trying to use this to their advantage. Like star...

Some claims they state, to put the discussions straight: - "30 to 60 % less power comparable to helicopter in forward flight" (just better in forward mode, not hovering) - "very low noise level compared with helicopters" (noise is better than helicopters, but worse than planes) http://d-dalus.com/en...

Have fun with it.

So the Standard Model is imploding because of differences between metric ton and imperial ton -- and Americans not speaking propper German. Always thought so.

Brian refers to the exit beam of the ions, which induce electricity directly by passing through an rogowski coil . I think Joseph refers to the filaments that get bent at the tip of the electrodes, and then form into a pinch. Joseph: Please read through the Focus-Fusion documetation more carefully, ...

Because the entire point of CERN was to create the conditions present right after the Big Bang, does this damage Big Bang Theory? I've just recently discovered Eric Lerner's book endorsing plasma cosmology. The nonexistence of the Higgs seems to fit with the other examples he proposes that the Big ...

Thanks Joseph. I've posted it on the focusfusion.org forum.

Well, that's news. Does that mean you'll be introducing nitrogen soon? Actually I don't know much more than you in that respect. Probably not too soon. Also I do not understand for what they use that watching window. Either they have not a hope to get any neutron or gamma flux or what they are goin...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. If you have more, these are welcomed nevertheless. I don't know exactly where this lubricating grease comes from. As they write it's somehow hidden in unseen places. More some kind of an accident. That Mylar (boPET) is used in insulating the conducting aluminium...

Okay, they got a question for chemists and vacuum experts: how to easily clean the chamber. For the chemists out there, we have a few cleaning questions. On the one hand, we sometimes (including right now) get accidental contamination within the vacuum chamber with lubricating grease from machining ...

we're fusing No more post since that one? I hope it didn't mean that it was the Lab that was actually fusing... :wink: Ivy Matt is just reporting the Twitter updates. The newsletter should be out the next few days. I suppose when Aaron's got a little more time and doesn't need to help out in the la...

The direct conversion system is still on the paper as far as I know.

So, the talk is about not first wall material but pulse power supply transmission line?

Yepp.

Probably not. I'm referring to the LPPX tweet "aluminum transmission lines (ground plates) are being installed ;-D". That's the only aluminum reference I see recently.

I have big expectations from them too. If the aluminum plates will brig the expected results I am sure there will be a big surge of interest in their research. also, perfect lightweight (regenerative) shielding for their xray machines, and a perfect development test bed for Q>1 objectives. just blo...

But there is still the scaling problem. If the scaling is r^3 can they keep doubling the size of the device ~10X power every month? For 10 months? A doubling in size every 3 months would still be very good. Where is the progress? It is not the length of the electrodes that is the problem. It is the...
