Dimensional Analysis
Experimentation can suck. Take some experiment: like dropping a rubber ball. You want to figure out what changes, how high the ball bounces back. That might sound easy, but it is not. Consider all the variables in that experiment: variables such as the balls’ velocity, the air viscosity, the elastic...

New Polywell Paper
The U of Sydney team has written another Polywell paper.
This one is impressive, it uses theory and simulations to investigate confinement inside the reactor.

Here is some relevant data to consider for selecting materials. This is transcribed from Excel. If there is a [?] next to a number it means there were conflicting numbers on the internet. [Henrys/Meter] [Watts/Meter*Kelvin] [Kelvin] [$/Kg] [Siemens/Meter] [electron-volts] Relative Magnetic Permeabil...

What is the best material for the rings?
Hello Guys, What is the best material for the rings? I am sure someone else has looked at this before, and feedback would be appreciated. The Ideal material would have: 1.Have a magnetic permeability close to vacuum or 1.256E-6 [Henrys/Meter]. 2. Have a high melting point. 3. Have a low, or no, cros...

Does the Polywell have a resonance condition?
Hey Guys, Just posing a question for you to consider. I have not had time yet to develop it properly. Also, if nobody else noticed, a group from Iran published a basic polywell paper on 10/12/2011. All the best, Does the Polywell have a resonance condition? Assuming the reactor is running at steady ...

Two points: 1. I thought the "Whifle ball" analogy meant that the containment still had holes. Probably 14 of them. One for each cusp. 6 for each side, 8 for each corner. 2. My definition of Weibel Instability - This happens in plasmas made of charged particles. It happens when one part of the plasm...
Questions
Hello, I am looking for some basic, simple, direct definitions of some Polywell Terms. Maybe some of you can assist here. 1. How would you define the following words: Cusps, Mirror Ratio, Brillouin Limit and Weibel Instability? 2. Are there cusp planes? If yes, then should there be 6 cusp planes in ...
