If the Government and/or Military have no objections to any particular outcome, how should basic research findings, gained under contracts paid for by tax payers money, be disseminated?

Not at all. Let the company keep all the information secret so it can make further profits by exclusive exploitation of the information.

The company should be able to sell the information for a handsome profit for itself.

The company should give out the information only to other companies of the same nationality to ensure a fair market.

The tax payers paid for it, so they have a right to know what basic research findings their money is generating.

Whew! .... looks like the tissue of lies has busted apart ... talk about desperation.

The cognitive dissonance necessary to argue that building a fusion reactor experiment that has NEVER produced net power and will NEVER produce net power is somehow not basic research, is astounding.

You guys are nuts, if fusion was not basic research we'd at least have prototypes, engineering calcs, working drawings not some cartoon sketches with little robot guys and forklifts .... if EMC2 ever get net power out it will be from a discovery of monumental proportions due to BASIC RESEARCH.

You guys are living in the future, sadly it just not our forseeable future, I guess that's how the Mach effect thing can seem so real to you nutters ... come back down to earth and then we can get real about what a rort this has become.

In the mean time, these make an interesting read. Also notice ZERO mention of Polywell...

And these two as well:

http://www.navalengineers.org/SiteColle ... tersen.pdf

These provide some depth to some other topics previously discussed, as well as the issue at hand: Polywell as 6.1

I never cease to be amazed by the fact that no matter how far out on the fringe I go, I always see people further out .... popping back peyote buttons and running naked in spaces deserted, save for tumbleweeds.

Hey there kiteman, git-thruster ... how's that wind beneath your wings boyz!!

Polywell is a development project, fusion power is inevitable .... oh yeah, that's right, drink the Kool-aid mad-dog.

Why are my simple questions so difficult for you folks?
I thought I had. Doesn't NRL do work shooting one species at another to determine cross section? That would be basic research, no?
