You need to read more, no one said anything about selling ZPE machines, just some theoretical work being done that's all. YOU need to read more closely. The whole thread got started with a link to a story titled "Jovion Corporation Gets Patent for Zero Point Energy Extraction" which makes claims th...

I find it frankly disappointing that this subject keeps coming up here, and attracting so much interest.

I agree that their theory is more solid than that of Woodward and March. However, one problem I have about ZPE is that there appears to be no naturally occurring phenomenon based on this process. Both chemical and nuclear energy production occur as natural phenomenon. It seems to me that if ZPE was...

Interesting, I've corresponded with Haisch a for a few years. I wouldn't take them as competitors, as they are the only ones who really are consistently working on stochastic electrodynamics theories of inertia. What I ment by competition is that they have a competing theory to that of Woodward/Mar...

CalPhysics is Bernard Haisch's website. Haisch, Putoff, and Davis are the guys who are into the ZPF concept. Their organization is EarthTech (www.earthtech.org), where they have many presentations available for download. These guys and their ZPF theory is sort of a competitor to Woodward, March, an...

Re: electron g-factor
Ok I've always thought an electron was a point source as it is considered a 1 dimensional object and in this case, spin is a intrinsic property that only is written like angular momentum, emphasis on "like"! This is my understanding. The way I learned it, electrons can be described by several quant...

I think most engineers are so because they like to turn dreams into a physical reality. But they are generally prevented because they are employed by a class of people who are predominantly accountants. I would say predominantly business oriented, true, but then who else is going to make it happen?...

ELMs? ITER? There are no working prototypes of any fusion device. Of course Polywell has its loss problem. And B11 is a proposal at this stage. No tests. Still. Today - I'd put more money on Polywell delivering economical power to the grid than toks. I would say there are working prototypes, none t...

I really don't understand the argument. You humans are still trying to fathom fusion energy itself, and you're already bickering over the cost and the power output!?!?!?! It's like listening to people debating the existence of God, but missing out the 'existence' part and just moving straight on to...

Ok. You've all convinced me. There is absolutely no point in building something if all ya gonna do is go get 20GW out of the thing. What a bloomin' waste of time that would be! If all a fusion reactor could do is generate 20GW at Q=10, then clearly that route to fusion energy is impossible and we s...

Yes. Foolish engineers. They actually have to deal with things like finance. To give a ridiculous example to make the point. "Why not build a power producer that has a capital cost of a billion dollars a watt? After all the fuel is free." Currently the power companies say around $7,000 a KW is maxi...

Great, now the air of mystery is gone!
Kind of remind me of Larry Niven, but of course at that age you all look alike.

I guess Canada is just a really crappy example for a public healthcare system and that might be why so many of you are having problems with seeing the benefits that such a system can have. Caring for the elderly does cost our government the most, yes, but luckily there are many younger people that ...

The government will be making decisions based on THEIR profit and loss calculations. i.e. young people will get treatment old people will be figuratively set out on ice floes. Why spend money on keeping alive a non-producer? Or an enemy of the state? Yeah, that is really funny, because it is actual...
