This could be really exciting, as it would help solve the "First Wall Problem" in polywell designs. Let me see if I can explain it. (Obviously, I'm just restating a lot of things MSimon has said.) The magnets that generate the wiffle ball field need really high currents to generate a magnetic field ...

Re: Gov't vs Free Market Polywell Development
OK. It's not a big deal, but I thought about "copying posted pages" over in this thread and it has no response from Joe yet.MSimon wrote:You can copy posted pages. You can download pdfs.
I don't think it is much of a worry.

There is another good reason the Federal Government regulates power lines. Power distribution (not generation) is a natural monopoly. That is, in economic terms, there is less incentive (and dollar value) for a second company to build a national power grid after the first company has built one, and ...

I downloaded electron_fluid.c and it runs fine here. I'd like to try visualizing the data as well.drmike wrote:I think I got electron_fluid.c to work finally.

Back up forum's contents?
This is a question for Joe Strout or other admins: Is there any way I can get a dump of the posts on the site? I think the information here is valuable and should be available in some sort of archive. PHPBB uses a database backend, so a few SQL queries should do it. I have no intention of setting up...

I also got a chance to read one of the POPS papers. They assume spherical symmetry and do 1D calculations in that paper (it's from 2005). If we can do 3D I think it will help the fusion community a lot. And we can have a lot of fun too! So is that different or the same as Bussard's 1/(r^2) assumpti...
