But No one knows it. How can we have a pool to guess the date of release of information? The information being the announcement of a follow-on research effort of course.
I think we will hear on September 26, 2008, (Aero), that is $20 billion in foreign oil consumed from now, Sept. 6.

I got dibs on Oct 6 (anniversary of Robert Bussard's passing) and Nov 5 (day after elections). Of course, they might not be able to make a public statement for longer than that... don't know what the rules are.

Well, I'd certainly like that, but it sure would make the pool a lot less fun.

I don't have a clue, but that sort of thing has never stopped me in the past.

hopefully before the end of this year, think that would be a good present for all of us.

You know what I would love? Demo plants in the next 2 years, that would be great

anyone thinks they may delay releasing the results so they wont hurt our feelings? I mean we are a rather small community, so they probably dont have to worry about that.

Probably have to worry about the plasma people getting pissy that IEC leap frogged them.

I hope Oct 6th. Though I also hope today on the front page of every newspaper worth mentioning.
Oh, be sure to not let rnebel play. Of everyone he is the most likely to know the release date.

16th December 2008
Reviews can take a long time, but I hope for results this year.

Assuming good review:
Worst case, by August 2009.

My take: If Dr Nebel ends up building the so called WB-100, the Navy may not have the wherewithal financially to drop 20-40 million bucks, if thats the price tag. It may take a line item in the Congressional budget. If so, nothing happens until after January 20th 2008. Ad likely we're talking about summer 2009.

If the Navy can fund the next step in house, then by the end of the year 2008. Say early December, December 10th.

Right, I have no clue.... lol.

I believe that we will hear something by December 12th. What we may hear is rumors, but we should start to hear something by then.

I don't know who the peer review team consist of or how far it was sent into the fusion community, but, two men can keep a secret if one of them are dead, so I expect some rumors to begin to drip out (good or bad) by the 12th of December. The 12th will be at a point where nobody is finiished (reviwing) but they are all getting ready to go on Holiday break and that is where you usually get some talk.
