Well, my thoughts on the blimp come from it's ability to lift a potentially significant size load (10-50 times current airlift), near or at, vertically, fly a semi straight line (at 2-6 times ship travel speeds) and land at or near veritically. The Walrus program (DARPA) was intended to prove the te...

See how many defining terms you had to use to understand technology, that shows how it is the web that binds culture. Without tools/technology language would not have developed, pack hunting would be impracticable for lack of method to take down big game, and human would not have developed a societ...

Because the younger generation is convinced that technology can solve any problem, to the point of obsession. And this is way we have so many problems. Technology is just one dimension of transformation. Without changes in legislation, organization, processes, concepts, and (by far the most importa...

Polywell would destabilize the political landscape so much that it will most likely: 1. be sequestered initially for America only, their closest allies decades later, and the world in 50 to 100 years. 2. be classified for DECADES until the technology can provide unequivocal American superiority. 3....

OTOH an announcement might have an effect on geopolitics sufficient to warrant an announcement. Think of the leverage we would have over Iran. "If your reactors are truly for power, then we will give you these fusion reactors if you will allow the inspectors to come in and monitor your dismanteling...

Kurt9, you wrote: "Torque is necessary for ground transportation (cars, trains, etc.) as well as ships. If successful, MLT will be more revolutionary than polywell. If you can generate torque with this device, you're talking about an all electric transportation system. Polywell is definitely desirab...

Paul, thank you for updating us on where you (and Dr. W) are at in your attempt to validate/verify or disprove (or more likely provide just enough to cause one to think there still might be something to all this but not enough to prove or disprove! science can be frustrating! :D ) the earlier work o...

As a Carrier Pilot and former Air Boss of a CVN, I feel compelled to weigh in. C stands for Carrier. V for fixed wing. N for nuclear. E for escort (as in CVE). Kennedy was a CV. Why V for fixed wing, you got me, but A is for attack and H is for helo. Why not CVHN? Because no self respecting carrier ...
