I cannot believe I just found your site

Bill, I cannot believe I just found your site. It goes to show you how much interest there is in the polywell and how keeping track of all polywell related events is hard. Glad to know there is another polywell blog out there. I will link http://thepolywellblog.blogspot.com/ up to yours. Excellent w...

Just posted Part II

Gentleman, I want to state, I am just trying to explain the current, published work, on the Polywell. We will never get the real funding this project needs until: 1. We have data that says it could work. 2. We show theoretically it could work. 3. Or we have both. You will never get millions from any...

Hello

Guys, I am sorry it takes me so long to respond to anything on this forum. For example I am STILL working on responses to Dan Tibbets, Chrismbs and kcdodd comments from the first week in November. I have written 11 pages. But I am having trouble writing about brillouin limits. I have found many, man...

"Time to Fusion", "Ion-Ion Collision Time&quo

Hello, I have the following question about the following formulas. Feel Free to chime in here If I have something wronge. 1. How long does it take an ion inside an isotropic plasma to fuse? Rider provides the formula as: Time to fusion = 1/(effective density of plasma * <Cross section of reaction * ...

Dumb Lorenz force question

This is a seemingly dumb question. What is the right formulation of the Lorenz force? I have seen it two ways: Lorenz Force = charge*[E field + (velocity x Magnetic field)] I have also seen it written... Lorenz Force = charge*[E field x Magnetic field)] So here is the question. Say I have an electro...

OK,

We should just build a polywell, fill it with electrons, and do Thomson scattering to determine electron structure and energy.

That is a very hard measurement to do, but they already do it with Inertial Confinement Fusion.

Interesting...

I can't speak for everything here - however I noticed the rejection included an important point about getting the electrons cold. The polywell has a similar issue. If the electrons in the middle were cold, unmoving, this would be helpful for the machine working. Ion to electron energy transfer would...
