polywellnuclearfusion operational
After an 8 month hiatus, my Polywell Nuclear Fusion website is mostly functional again. There is at least one minor bug: the links on the index page disappear when you roll over them with the mouse, but click anyway - they'll work; and once you get into the site, everything seems pretty much okay. E...

It would appear that -quite possibly- we have an enemy. My website www.polywellnuclearfusion.com has been shut down by my server. The 200 Gig data transfer limit on my website was exceeded in the past two weeks. To do that legitimately, 22,000 copies of my book would have to be downloaded. I am quit...

BTW, whoever trumpeted the Gates Foundations primary education efforts should look into WHAT they want to "educate future citizens" about. I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. As a teacher, I have, in several ways, been a beneficiary of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I have seen first...

When I voted yes, I was assuming that the definition was SKUNK WORKS as in Kelly Johnson P-80, U-2, SR-71, etc. I assumed the intent was to build a WB-100 with an approach and attitude and timeline similar to that manifested by Lockheed Martin and Kelly Johnson.

The thing that always bothered me about that drawing was the directions of the magnetic fields produced by the coils on the opposite faces of the octahedron: if you apply the right-hand rule to the coils on the opposite faces, the resulting magnetic fields do NOT oppose each other. This seems to me...

ankovacs, your configuration reminds me of Tombo's first octahedron drawing back on May 31, in "Magrid Configuration Brainstorming." http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=289&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 The thing that always bothered me about that drawing was the directions of the ma...

Re: Polywell for Space Propulsion
There are good reasons to suspect that the polywell will never yield net energy in any way, shape, or form. Art, Ever since you came over to Talk-Polywell from the Cosmic Log discussion, I've been trying to follow the dialogue between you, Dr. Nebel and the others who seem to understand the in-dept...

With the much appreciated help of Mike's and Yitzhak's comments (above); with the equally appreciated help of a Montana writer friend, a Bay Area engineer friend; and with the especially appreciated help of my wife, the kid's book with the BFR punchline has been upgraded to version 4. If you are int...

Re: Forbes Article.
Can anyone explain why the word isn't out? The word isn't out because in the eyes of the world, stories like the BFR are old news. Consider the history of controlled fusion (from Sun in a Bottle by Seife): Mar 1951: Huemel Island, Argentina. Juan Peron announces that Ronald Richter has achieved suc...

It reminds me of the claims I heard from "young earth creationists" who needed to discredit radioisotope dating. However, in this report, these are only variations in tenths of a percent. Young earth creationists would need variations by several orders of magnitude, to get the young (5000 yr old) e...
