Any News about Polywell ?
Which brings up another off topic item. A while ago there was a thread trying to decide on a good name other than Polywell. There were some amusing answers, and perhaps the ID I liked best was BFR for Bussard Fusion Reactor, though some wanted to avoid any works that hinted at radiation or nuclear reactors to make it more friendly towards the lay public.zapkitty wrote:... other countries have already started their own pressurised water reactors...sd_matt wrote:To sum it up.

The "People Friendly Reactor" ?
oh hang on they'll freak out when they hear the word 'reactor' ... better make it an 'innovative' or 'sustainable' something or rather ...
"People Friendly Energenerator" (PFE)
or for a more commie slant
"The Earth People's Sustainable Innovative Energy Machine" (TEPISEM)
(IMHO: Treat people like idiots and they'll behave like idiots. It is well past time people grew up about radiation and got educated instead of freaked out by greenie rantings.)
it is a polywell nuclear fusion reactor (PNFR) ... if it works as advertised.

It's already being called the "Bussard Reactor" by CNN:

Personally, I'm leaning towards "Bussard's Extremely Energetic Reactor" (BEER) or "Bussard's Excellent Aneutronic Reactor" (BEAR). <burp>
