isn't it a tad more likely that some clerk somewhere messed the entry up or something? They already managed to turn it into a double. The report may have been filed, but then disappeared due to incompetence.
Never blame on malice that witch may be adequately blamed on incompetence.

Hardeing in regards to defending against laser strikes is not the same as armor in the common sense. In order to sucessfully defend against lasers one wants to add a reflective coating that reflects a significant fraction of the incomming energy. the second tier of defence is to use thermally conduc...

The demonstration used a laser that is severely underpowered compared to what is sought after for an operational system. even 100kW is considdered as marginal for shooting down incomming drones. besides. the drone lost controll long before 12 seconds. it was more like 8 seconds. And that was with a ...

For a Horisontal takeoff and landing craft the Vehicle T/W need only be around 0.5. anything less will lead to a requirement for having some kind of launch assist on the runway. however. once you are getting to climb above 30km or so altutude the TW needs to have grown to about 1 trough propellant d...

Not yet (at the time of typing this that is.)

Greenies will not affect whether or not the Navy uses polywell to power its ships. Whether or not it works (with benefits beyond what we already have, which we all believe to be numerous, especially if it can burn PB11) is what will decide it. What the greenies can affect is how, or possibly if, Po...

Read the article and tell me there isn't a political war going on between the various energy sectors. If you know about it wouldn't you take steps to avoid it as much as possible? Not to say that such is happening. But also consider it may be. An Energy war? you bet I have noticed. I've also notice...

You think they are going to sneak fusion trough the back door so to say? keeping it hidden in plain sight as a somewhat wooish looking option that nobody takes seriously until it is too late to prevent a full takeover of the energy market? Isn't that a little bit too much conspiracy like tho? :twist...

well wouldn't a octahedron be the simplest configuration?
It's the polyhedron with the fewest faces that would satisfy the requirement of having alternative magnetic north and south trough the faces.
A fully formed octahedron would only take 4 triangular magnetic coils.

electricity from poly is exactly what you need to make a weapons grade laser. electricity is the sole input you need in a FEL system. it's already going up towards the MW range. so a 10MW FEL laser is not inconceivable. A tank with a polywell power-plant is going to be pretty large. adding a FEL in ...

Here is the latest report from recovery.org : Quarterly Activities/Project Description: on budget, on schedule for new lab test facility. Primary focus has been construction, procurement and relocation of personnel and chamber. When I clicked thru it was still LAST quarter's report. This quarter (t...

Everything is hiding from everything else, and the quickest to draw and fire wins (visions of the gunslinger)--but no one cares because none of these things have people aboard. How weird is that? I'm planning to watch the movie screamers tonight. I guess I will get an answer to just how scary that ...

... so instead of the tank hiding from the aircraft the aircraft is now hiding from the tank?... ;) Fixed wing aircraft suck at hiding. all they have going for them is speed. fusion powered aircraft will most likely be developed towards greater speed and maneuverability. the pilot will become obsol...

Yeah. That is why tanks are obsolete until someone invents a power-source capable of supporting a high power laser system capable of downing aircraft like it was swatting flies.
