Hi Dr Mike Just taking a look over your BFR work at http://www.eskimo.com/~eresrch/Fusion/ - looks very impressive. Hope you don't mind if I scavenge? Know what you mean about time constraints - luckily this subject seems to possess an addictive quality. Rather contrarily, I actually prefer the theo...

So, why does it feel like the invisible hand is giving me the finger? Because you don't take your self interest seriously. There are two ways out: 1. Be satisfied with what you have 2. Get more Simon, that's BS- That's just another way of the HAVE's telling the HAVE NOT's to enjoy the finger! Peopl...

Gentlemen, Thank you very much for your feedback. I had wondered about the Vlasov Vs collisions issue - then came across... ..in which... particle collisions are estimated from density and energy distributions... in his Valencia paper (p7). It does surprise me that no one seems to have access to the...

I did raise this on another thread, but think it may have been passed over. Does anyone know, can we get access to a copy EMC2's EIXL code to inspect? I am interested in how it modeled: a) distributions b) collisions c) parameterisation I have an idea to produce a simplified state-space model using ...

I see understatement is simply lost on you gblaze42. btw: whilst I am no apologist for bad science, and am no particular friend (or foe) of Mills - the fact that his experimental findings at least have allegedly been replicated by another lab independently, seems to have been lost on many, in their ...

'(human) labour is the father of material wealth, the earth is its mother' "The theories that I (and others) helped develop explained why unfettered markets often not only do not lead to social justice, but do not even produce efficient outcomes. Interestingly, there has been no intellectual challe...

I don't think it is quite true that they have 'no theory' of operation, simply that Fenyman, Heisenburg, Schrodinger were all wrong - only Maxwell survives intact. http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-302/aflb302m185.pdf .. though slightly repetitive, presents some thought provoking reasoning. it wouldn't ...

Despite, Art's analysis (which I am not yet in a position to ague with successfully), I am drawn by the following statement from Bussard in his Valencia paper: These results show, firstly, that Polywells, driven properly, do work and, secondly, that we actually do understand how they work and thus c...

[quote = Winston Churchill] The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. [/quote] ...and that from a man who bought us through wars against both fascism and communism! it is never ending my friends. and it is true, there are 'dark forces' in the world as ...

you know, i would love to see a picture/diagram of this - say a cross sectional slice across the core; assumed particle densities, momentum (including angular), charges and B fields, with pdfs' in regions. i am particularly interested in the dynamics just just around and inside the core shell. don't...

erm .... ish ... i think its the '..ish' we're currectly hoping will be described better by experiment. overall gain / Q, feeback from products of fusion - i agree, that's how i see the terms fitting together (or not, within our present state-of-the-art). to pfrit: yes totally agree. waaay off topic...

for any given temperature, the Lawson Criteria sill applies, I don't see how. Maybe I'm oversimplifying this or missing something, but the Lawson criteria is supposed to describe a situation in which the fusion products are sufficient to directly power the reaction with no other energy input. That ...

rcain, You needn't worry about what Obama thinks. That is a non-issue. Get enough supporters and he thinks what you think. Even if he has to pretend what he once thought is not what he ever thought. Hence, under the bus. If he gets in I give him 2 years. Then Congress sends him packing. Rezko. Blag...

I'll try to answer my own question, trying to be as generous as possible to the polywell, within the assumption that the ion speed is much larger than the speed of the electrons. I published a similar calculation already for Rostocker's CBFR, where I concluded that the ratio P_fusion/P_fric cannot ...

Do you see nuclear power anywhere in his current platform? Yes, but I would say his attitude is somewhat short of enthusiastic.
