Its probably been considered before but if so, I missed it. Have we considered that first (Outer) water jacket need not enclose the complete coil, but only shield the Magrid from the fusion products of the core? That is, it could be a half jacket if a way could be found to support it. Such an arran...

Having advertised this, I still recom...

What blows me away is that the sensor are INSIDE the turbine and turn with the buckets. I wonder how the sensors are powered and how do they return a signal under those conditions. Power: batteries.

I'm running it on windows. I tried it once on Mac OSX, but back then it was impossible to work with if you did not have a three button mouse. This version does fine with a two button mouse that has a scroll wheel. It runs well on this machine, even though the box I am using now is one of those $400 ...

What I have presented here is, in my opinion, the most complete and consistent theory of polywell physics there is. Fair enough. I don't think anyone can complain that you have not worked hard at making your case on this forum. Presenting ideas and mathematics in this format and in this venue were ...

Personally, I mistrust the government more than I do one of our local sellers of used cars. When dealing with one of them, I KNOW her or she is out to screw me which, means that I am dealing with a known factor. The same cannot be said of our governors. Confronted with this situation it is necessary...
