I would if I could, that's what sucks is that I can't, but um- take a steel sphere with a whole in the top and bottom, and then wrap it as if a regular old electromagnet, top to bottom. Picture two horse shoe magnets facing each other as a cross section of the field lines, so that in the center ther...

All well and good and correct; but after some pondering and taking a look at both what I proposed and the feed back and ideas. I realize that north and south exist in this system and that two cusps, provided the engineering is done correctly, will pinch off most electrons from escaping; along side t...

Yes but two poles exist in this system, oh well, whatever I'll continue to ponder it. So it there anyway to magnetically shield a spherical chamber with out any cusp, like with Tokamaks? Or is this impossible?

Well I am actually in the process of getting the money up to test out some ideas regarding the polywell. The thing is the sooner the better so what's the bare minimum equipment that's need, vacuum chamber, power supply- either capacitor bank or flywheel- what kind of diagnostic equipment i've heard ...

See that long line cusps the point, electrons gyroradius around the field line through a cusp is one major method of loss, wouldnt more electrons make it through this cusp, only to be recirculated back in. Sort of like the Van Allen Belt. In other words maximazing recirculation, whilst reducing the ...

A monopole would require new particles of physics that as far as we know don't exist, 2 poles exist in what I'm envisioning, the geometry though results in a setup where 1 pole faces out and 1 in. Like a Tokamak, the field lines are warped to where they don't intersect the containment vessel, so the...

Yes yes I see that facing all these magnets in would cause mini fields, and the engineering challenges and what not. The difficulty is in explaining what my idea is it isn't a monopole, or multiple magnets facing in, its creating a single spherical electromagnet wrapped in a way that creates 1 pole ...

Yeah I thought about spheromacs and spherical tokamacs but the thought is unlike a spheromak in that the center is completely hollow. It's completely feasible that a spherical tokamak could be used to contain electrons instead of ions, and then radialy accelerate ions like a polywell, but tokamacs d...

I know this threads been down for a tad, but I have a question that I'm just itching to get out there: is there any electromagnet setup that allows for one pole to face in and the other out, but not a series of magnets facing in to allow for one pole in and out (resulting in field cusp), but instead...

So magrids have their limitations cusps loses, magnet attachment points, and variable magnetic field strenghs at different sections etc. Upon this I've pondered the truncated dodecadedrons etc. but I see little improvment beyond possibly better confinement, and I've relised that beyond a 5 magnet de...
