Mattman, I don't know what efficiency in X ray reflection may be possible, but it is undesired any way. With ignition, and thermalized machines, feflecting x- rays might be desirable. But it is not wanted in a Polywell. The 'heat' in a Polywell or fusor comes from electrostatic acceleration. The wa...

hey

Hey, I just read your blog. I like it. It is simple and easy to read. Keep up the good work! I really like the: Great Claims Require Great Proof. I have been thinking allot recently about what it is going to take to get the public over this "hump" of fusion. They generally believe that it is impossi...

Guys, We should take this discussion to Reddit. There are a bunch of undergrad physic majors on there. They have to know that there are possibilities outside of conventional wisdom. We need to inspire some young minds here to take an interest. This is really important. Dan, ladajo, Joseph, Skipjack ...

Sorry, I didn't see that someone had started a thread on this! Here is some feedback: 1. We may be able to reflect the x-rays back into the center - recycling the losses. Gold or lead will do it but they melt at 1337 and 600 K respectively. If the reactor temperature is to high, that idea becomes le...

Dimensional Analysis II

Picking the variables is the hardest part about applying this method to experimentation. You need to pick variables which directly affect the phenomenon you are interested in and you need to pick variables that are independent of one another. Below are variables related to the potential well and the...

Thanks

Your Right. That is a really good point.


There are 3 groups, but if you know two of the dimensionless groups, the 3rd is irrelevant.


That is what the Buckingham-pi theorem predicted...
