Shouting in pretty colours doesn't make it so. The specific accusation is that shouting was done in pretty colours. The evidence presented is text which is black, high intensity red, high intensity blue, and high intensity green on background colors of (to my eye) green-grey, blue-grey, and white. ...

ok, that makes sense. thanks dude :D here's an example of what I mean by a spool. I was thinking of a spool of fishing line as the only other way I could imagine the wire being wound together to form the magnet. What I see there is a cutaway section of a polywell reactor. There are 6 coils (the 6 m...

The accusation is LYING on his Bar exam. The Evidence presented appears to confirm that he lied on his Bar exam. One specific complaint is that Obama lied on his exam on a question which asked about accusations, arrests, or convictions for drug-related offenses. Obama said there were no accusations...

Couple of questions on the nature of magnets with regard to the wiffleball effect. I'm still on my first run through of Forrest Mims' basic electronics book so my knowledgebase is still somewhat low. - In some of the pictures I have seen of the early design polywell magnets, they were straight copp...

600 million metric tons - nice amount. But still, once we get ourselves settled on an area and using resources, we can run through them fast. Water has three major uses: 1. Hydrogen and oxygen for high-performance conventional rocket fuel 2. Liquid water for hydroponics, drinking, and washing 3. Ox...

// Pretty Images snipped. I've seen illustrations like this before, as well as other designs which effectively have one loop serpentining around the entire polywell. They've always bothered me. Polywells with traditional coils (like WB-6) use lots of turns to get high B fields with (relatively) low...

Science Fiction.

Unlike the Litany against Fear from Dune, this one actually includes the name of the novel, although if I recall correctly, the author wanted to call it "Tyger Tyger Burning Bright".

k. :) Run the numbers. Lead is Atomic Number 82, an atomic weight of 207, and a density of 11.35 g/cm^3. A mol of lead masses 207 g, a volume of about 18cm^3, and contains 82 * 6.022x10^23 electrons. That works out to 2.7x10^24 electrons per cubic centimeter. A coulomb of charge is the charge of ab...

perhaps this embargo on Mr. Nebel & team will end up being polywell`s downfall. Are the next wave of results going to be "nuanced " as well? Better step up to the plate before thorium does and puts the poly on the backburner. :P The amount of monies the Navy are investing in Polywell are still smal...

Sorry, bad logic. Then let my comments stand as a sign of frustration at how dominant the General forum is currently in traffic on talk-polywell right now. The main interface I use for looking at talk-polywell is the "View posts since last visit" link, as that's where you go to see, well, new stuff...

It was asked on a Polywell board. eh!?!!?!!?!!?! Am I going daft? Did I just read that right? So you're saying that anything mentioned on the Polywell forum has something to do with Polywell because it is mentioned on a Polywell forum? :shock: Well, that would explain what global climate change, an...

DU folks aren't really technically ept, but they're certainly... passionate about what they believe. And TP folks aren't really verbally apt , but they're certainly... passionate about what they believe. :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :wink: Merkin is a weird language. We got it from the Brits, then tried to...

I've heard of one thing, that the cosmic rays hitting our atmosphere is higher energy than what the LHC is capable of. Looks like there's no real case against the LHC. There may be a fatal distinction between the two. And this is really blue sky ;) It may be that the higher energy cosmic rays creat...

You basically answered your own question. If the coils are perfectly square and meet at the vertices ( and the virtual triangles do too) the point where they meet will have NO field and is the funny cusp. In other words, when that line cusp shrinks to a point, that is a funny cusp. It looks like a ...

Some people, MSimon (and me) among them, believe they are and some such people have stated that the rect-tet (octahedron) won't work because the magnets across the core are NOT N:N or S:S. I was merely disagreeing that the rect-tet was non-viable for that reason. I just mean they don't form a cusp....
