Perhaps lead cooling of the outermost layer of the coils is an option? Then it could be kept at zero pressure. Or at least no more pressure than is needed to keep the coolant flowing. Which may be an advantage. It should also give some neutron shielding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_cooled_fast...

There is certainly a lot to find out about the polywell. Even the fundamental principle is yet to be proven. My idea was that those losses should be somewhat size dependent. With a larger coils you have a larger confined volume where the reactions occur and you dont have to push that much electricit...

p-B11 with direct conversion is of course the preferred option. Unfortunately we live in an imperfect world and we need a better energy source yesterday. If this thing could hasten the departure of fossile fuels running D-D with 10 meter coppercoils in waterjackets and steamturbines some losses due ...

Are there any shortcuts to fusion power to be made with a D-D polywell running steam turbines? Perhabs huge coils with water cooling could do in that case? If the superconductivity could be omitted from the coils it would greatly simply things. If the p-B11 reaction for some reason doesnt work and i...
