Hey, we might be almost as popular as marijuana reform! http://citizensbriefingbook.chan...

Alright, I made a post:

Back to the polywell, anyone know what the next step is for the EMC2 people? From the Alan Boyle article: Despite the skepticism, Nebel and his colleagues have already drawn up a plan for the next step: an 18-month program to build and test a larger fusor prototype. "We're shopping that around insi...

Would pumping up the B field (regardless of the tech used) be a cheaper way of testing scaling vs building a bigger (larger radius) prototype? I mean, couldn't EMC2 either crank up the current on their existing coils or retrofit WB7 with more powerful coils? Or is B field scaling a given, and R scal...

So far the highest recorded SC field is 100 T.

This is steady state or one of those test jiggers that blow themselves up when you hit the juice?

yes, Korean. fiddling with babelfish: below 'A--Polywell Fusion Device Research' it says: Summary information On the header with the picture of the lady on the phone, next to where it says 'HOME>' : International market supply information > International tender information retrieval Just above the m...

I am not understanding why he puts so much faith in the reprap machine. The stuff it can make is extremely limited by size, material, and tolerance.

"There's nothing in there that suggests this will not work," Nebel said.

Phew! Talk about a sober assessment!

Congratulations to Rick & crew for completing this milestone, and best wishes for what's ahead. Greatly anticipating the next phase.

Maybe, if someone could contact the utube poster about fixing the problems, do you think they'd clean it up?

Because the Hyperion design is unique, the ...

£13m shed-size reactors will be delivered by lorry

I'm still wondering who 'lorry' is, and why they're making her carry these things.

Doing a quick google lookup of laser efficiency, the best ones out there seem to be around 30%. I don't know if that applies at all to the class of laser we're talking about, but even if it's 30%, that's a big handicap right off.

"Governments should not waste our money on a dangerous toy," Jan Van de Putte of Greenpeace International said when ITER was announced in 2005. Van de Putte predicted it will never be efficient - so why bother? Spokesperson Bridget Woodman said: "Nuclear fusion has all the problems of nuclear power...

Finally, a plump, juicy raisin among the dry tea leaves.
Sweet, indeed!

I’ll bet someone is working on a pill to mimic the diet. Imagine if a safe and effective pill to do the same thing as this radical diet were developed. That would be interesting.
