The important thing about the plasmoid is that the field lines are closed. If you start anywhere inside the plasmoid and wander along a field line, you will wind up back where you started. Plasma=gas heated until the nucleus is stripped of its electrons. There are only charged particles in it. Plas...

The PDF on helionenergy.com has been updated
http://www.helionenergy.com/Helion_Presentation-Web2.pdf I like this While the Fusion Engine aims to generate energy using fusion alone, it can simultaneously produce fuel for fission without the need for isotopic enrichment, drive hybrid reactors, allay proliferation concerns, and reduce and burn n...

Some of the things I would eventually like to see in the FRC article: * typical parameters * past and present experimental programs * past and present reactor designs, engineering advantages * MHD stability * transport theory * empirical scaling of confinement time (tau ~ flux * B^2) * translation ...

British (and Swedish) tax payers, pays for ITER. As I understand it, the swedish committment to fusion research is generally lukewarm. The fission field has been mothballed for a long time but has now regained some funding with the ultimate purpose of expanding nuclear power. If the elections next ...

Indisputable, you say. Please, do let me know what this indisputable evidence is, I am not sure I have come across it. Clearly, EMC2 haven't either, else would not be proposing another 2 years of experimentation to refine 'nuanced' results to some form of conclusion. Dr. Bussard and Dr. Nebel both ...

I'm content to kick back and wait the next 18-24 months to see if polywell is going to work or not. I've done this kind of development work before and understand how long it can take and what a pain in the ass it can be to get anywhere. it always takes longer than you expect at the beginning. If it...

What are the supposed benefits of a successful Polywell fusion solution over other solutions? What sort of fusion reactions is Polywell theorized to be capable of producing? Who is working directly on Polywell? Where? Who is funding the direct research? Why don't we hear more about Polywell tests a...
