Remember, 67% of the American public are in favor of tax increases for the wealthy. 67% is the low end, on the high end its 81% http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/FogerRox/Rachel.jpg Taking 40%+ of a wealthy man's income Reality check. Effective income top rates over 30 years have not been over...

I'll give it a go

Terrific, you have the best track record with EMC2, and I would hope you could tease out a few details when WB-8.1 is finished. Even if all it is - is similar to "Nuanced" results circa WB-7.

If the Alphas exit at 8 cusps, is it proper to extrapolate those 8 cusps would be the "leakers"?

Can a Polywell match the volumetric footprint of a fission reactor, could it power a sub? Subs, Carriers, DD's. that is the idea for the ONR interest. and it matches other ONR projects for electric Marine drives and lasers. Um, with a mag core of 10ft (3.1m), P-b11 fuel, 18 ft vac chamber, 30 to 35...

I think a private message to MSimon, providing examples and links concerning any members behavior, breaking of rules, WHATEVER, would have been appropriate.

This entire thread should be deleted and the conservation made private.

I saw that too.

And no real mention of effective tax rates either... Ok.

A factoid, we currently have 6 Income tax brackets, we used to have as many as 67.

Remember that Andrew Seltzman built his fusor- went to the Georgia Institute of Technology, and then transfered to U of Wis @ Mad. GIT is no powerhouse name school, I see no reason you cant go to a respectable school with a good Physics program, with the goal of making your own mark, and do it near ...

Liquid hydrocarbons will always have a place ~somewhere~. Right..... Liquid fuels reek of personal transportation, but yet even now, do we see the future with 300mph trains that are powered thru pantographs-electricity? No batteries required. In a Polywell world - 60 yrs from now, will we be drivin...

You seem to be writing in the current tense? No?

And you do see that I wrote "long term" right? Or not, maybe not, because your whole comment seems to be predicated on ignoring that very clear qualifier, "long term".

So just what does long term mean to you?

I'm not assuming that liquid fuels are desirable long term.

I thought Rick said alphas exit out the 8 tri faced cusps, the truncated corners of the cubes.

Without the ability to accelerate ions to collision speeds, with paths that actually intersect.... Isn't the result going be ions moving in a circle? And thats the best part about a polywell or even a fusor, is the quasi spherical accelerator cause ions to collide...... I do understand the basics of...

People only have 24h( -sleeping and work) on day to consume. This setting limits of the demand. Productivity. As humans increase productivity, the ability to consume increases. Steam engines, or coal being a work multiplier, helped start the industrial revolution. But when you consider the impact o...

SPEEDI rad numbers are declining over 9 days, and the picture the isotopes paint are also of declining radioactivity. Though I do think 2 & 3 have half or more of the fuel rods crumbled or worse, on the floor or caught up in the fuel/control rod assembly's. And if unit 2 did melt/slag thru the react...
