Merry Christmas to all. I will wake in the morning to the sounds of my impatient kids, happy wife, and hoping that Santa brought me a shiny new polywell for Christmas. For Rick and Team: Here is to a successful New Year, and a major leap forward! Cheers and best of luck! Please note that we are all ...

I seem to remember Chrismb arguing that the bulk occured outside.
Hmm.
I liked the way they set up the detectors. Slick thinking. I wonder if Rick is considering something similar to map out the polywell. It would not be a great leap to run some sort of polywell core in this rig and 3D map it.

So how would you account for changes in the field as e- density goes up, and ions (fuel) and introduced and the plasma forms? It wold almost seem a long drawn out iterative process where you made best guesses in progression to Beta=1. This is one of the key points of understanding, what happens duri...

Agreed, in the aspect that they are diversifying approaches. However, I think the horse has been beaten enough when we say that we need to take the current position of EMC2 and experiment progress at face value. Rick Nebel has said, contracting restraints prevent him from talking about what/how they...

100,000 HP (75MW)
198,500 HP (148MW)

And someone else paid for the gas!



Coolest Boat I drove for a bit was a Nightcat 27 with twin OceanPro 300's.

And again, someone else paid for gas!

Two burdens of joy here...

My buddy is dropping another motor in his Viper, he figures this will jump it another 200HP from where he had it. Looking at 900HP at the rear wheels. Nice Christmas project for him.
$13K for the motor and blower, installing himself saving about $5K.

I predicted before this will be Famulus's limiting factor once he puts his magrid in his chamber, the <oscillating> e-'s from the spikeyball (I will never get tired of calling it that) will need some space. I don't think his existing chamber is big enough.

If they update it like they are suppossed to, it can give some insight to spending by Rick's team and project progress.

Well, we know why he didn't say anything here for 12-13 October...

Use the document links, some are interesting.

And another popup I hadn't seen...

Helps explain how DOD worked Recovery Projects, including Polywell.
We have talked on this before, lots of scrutiny on where the dollars go.

On a separate note, to be fair, the fire and forget weapons systems we use today are in effect, Autonomous Vehicles that will seek out and destroy hostile platforms and or personnel. We use them on land, sea, under the sea, and in the air. These systems are smart, make choices on sensor data, and mo...

I wouldn't call it a retread. It has always been there. Tempest was previously a big deal. Then it lost importance during the "peace dividend". But now that we are facing actual proliferation, vice the 70's where it was a potential (should've learned from India and Pakistans efforts...) and it is ap...
