My concern about the "three neutrons" is that its a self fulfilling prophecy of not funding proper detectors , and cutting the project funding due to inaccurate or less than stellar results. Good point, but any number of projects might claim this. Specifically calling out the three neutrons is thus...

You can go here: http://www.emc2fusion.org/

However, there is a great deal more information that hasn't been effectively gathered. You can watch this thread drift as that information is posted, debated, politicized, and ignored.

This thread isn't really about politics. I'm capitalizing on news to talk about polywells!

Just the northeast quarter would be a good start.

But we'd need at least ten. Maybe twenty... J/K

Polywell needed, Texas, stat!

Ignore the superbowl rant. We're having rolling blackouts in Texas because of the cold winter.

Does anyone have a spare polywell we could plug into the grid?

Ok, is anybody going to bring up "The Journal of Nuclear Physics" ? I ran a whois on the domain to verify for myself. Creation Date: 26-feb-2010 It is most definitely not a peer-reviewed journal. Although I am way, way interested in encouraging any effort to develop fusion, they haven't published in...

Re: lurking no more

Then, right at the deadline for submitting minor typographical corrections (3 days I think), he 'corrected' his submission to YBaCuO. Hey, what's an extra 'b' ? Yttrium, Ytterbium, no big difference. The journal(s) had egg on their face, the corrupt 'scientist' was discredited, and hilarity ensued....

I second that. Chris, what's your angle? Not your raison d'être. What do you stand to gain if Polywell fails?

Chris, when you quote "EMC2's interest in this effort is simply...such a venture.", are you trying to say you, Chris, are committed to ending our dependence on oil? Are you really anti-cartel and anti-monopoly? (It might be frustrating to read what Dr. B said and see what Dr. N is doing -- you could...

It's easy to figure out... The maximum collision energy in the LHC is 14TeV, which has a mass equivalence of 25 zeptograms, or about a quarter of the mass of a hemoglobin molecule. The Schwartzchild radius associated with that mass is about 4x10^-50 m, or roughly 15 orders of magnitude smaller than...

I believe that our representative democracy works. In fact, the media has no ultimate power over the Constitution. (So that precludes "vote early, vote often" and "no, you can't vote" because they are illegal.) However, it is interesting that Americans are willing to decide based on such little thin...

I wonder if there is additional data to back this up? WASHINGTON (AP) — The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming — the very problem wind power seeks to address. The idea that wind...
