Re: Recovery.Gov Project Tracker

The f35 comes to mind and the fact that the DOD is the only federal department that has never passed an audit.

Re: Dr. Park to speak at UW-Madison

I gather the thing of interest in a polywell is the production of high energy ions/electrons. How are these harvested? It sounds as though there's no need for a process to transfer heat and produce steam or something of that nature, but instead somehow electricity is obtained directly?

Re: Dr. Park to speak at UW-Madison

Thanks for the reply. Is there any other radiation produced? I gather there's nothing that needs to be stored for thousands of years.

Re: Dr. Park to speak at UW-Madison

If a polywell ' s fusion is anuetronic what sort of radiation does it produce? What is the half life? Or is it only anuetronic when using boron?

Re: EMC2 has published a polywell preprint on arXiv

So fusion is no longer twenty years down the road?

Re: thorium reactors a non-starter?

It is curious that this technology hasn't been previously developed.

Re: sugar battery an order of magnitude better then lithium.

Sugar becomes gasoline. Can a Cubs world series victory and the triumph of evil be far away?

sugar battery an order of magnitude better then lithium.

Probably not a new type of battery, but possibly a new fuel with about the same energy density as gasoline?

Re: Ritchie Incognito Suspended

Of course the line isn't narrow between hazing and skinhead harassment. Sarcasm.

Re: Ritchie Incognito Suspended

The line is just so narrow between skinhead thuggery and lighthearted hazing.
