Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024

I believe the polywell concept was presented to Musk, Gates, and the like some years ago, and they all turned their noses up at it. They all thought that piddle power (wind, solar, etc.) was the solution to energy and would not entertain anything else.

Re: More Helion Energy news....

One thing successful commercialization of Helion will do is to put away all of those schemes for mining the Moon for He3. Why go to the expense and hassle of mining the Moon when you can just breed your own He3?

I wonder if Robert Zubrin is aware of Helion Energy.

Re: Lawaranceville E-Newsletter

In other words, the idea is credible and worth pursuing. But they have a lot of difficult, expensive work in front of them to realize a working reactor. One of the most difficult tasks in front of them is to produce a quantum magnetic field (QMF) effect in the reaction chamber. This is an effect tha...

Re: New Physics Insights Enable Table-Top Hot Fusion

The problem is I go to their website and I see no detailed description of their technology. I see only marketing hype.

You all know the saying: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Re: Article on laser driven pB11 fusion

Was researching this one over lunch and the real benefit to this design is no vacuum is needed; the fusion is achievable in atmosphere. That ought to drop the capital cost of the fully developed system. Depending on the mass of the equipment setup, it might make aircraft engines based on this techn...

Re: Lawaranceville E-Newsletter

One thing I like about Helion's approach is that it neatly does away with schemes like mining the Moon and the outer planets for He3.

Robert Zubrin, call your office.

This:

makes clear that cellular reprogramming is the basis of this recent "blood factor" work.

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?

I believe that invovo cellular reprogramming is the actual mechanism of rejuveation in both of these "blood factor" experiments. I see this as a crude method of inducing such reprogramming. Better methods of cellular reprogramming will naturally have more dramatic effect.

Re: EM Drive

I think you're right that White may not have fully tested his Q-thruster concept. I know at the time NASA gave him money and specifically told him to focus on the warp interferometry experiments, both of which resulted in null results as far as I recollect. I do know that Paul March has worked with ...

Re: EM Drive

Dr. White did two sets of experiments based on his theory starting about 10 years ago. The first set produced null results within the sensitivity of his interferometer measurement setup that was deemed necessary by his theory. He then increased the measurement sensitivity of his interferometry by a ...

I think what you're referring to is the "Tik Tak" UFO. Jakc Sarfatti has been making his presence known on the Woodward email list claiming that metamaterials (slow light speed in the material medium itself) can generate the effects that allow for this device to run. Needless to say, Woodward (and m...

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?

I personally know the guy behind this (I've known him for 30 years). He did this because he came up with a way to regenerate his thymus gland. This is definitely useful work and we definitely need to regenerate our thymus glands. However, we need to regenerate our lymphatic system as well in order f...

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?

The best stem cell therapies are without the stem cells (e.g. cellular reprogramming). That's why its better to wait another 5 years, if possible, rather than doing stem cell treatments that may or may not work.
