Is anyone still interested in virtual cathodes?
I was wondering if people were still looking for virtual cathodes.

I've written a new statement on the theory of gravitation and sanitized the standard model of physics
I'm not sure why I was compelled to do this article but I started to write at 6pm yesterday and got so involved in it I totally lost track of time. At one point I looked outside my window and saw it was light still it confused me. A whole evening had past. My concentration was locked in like a laser...

Nano-Z-Mak proposal
Following the work of the late George Klir: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2178800_The_Study_of_a_Fibre_Z-Pinch An relatively unknown scientist that was fairly and practically more decorated than Einstein… [ there is no reason to believe such genius level scientists can’t go unnoticed by p...

Re: Using gravity to create a self sustaining thermonuclear reaction
Looks like radiation pressure for squeezing fuel is the way to go. I forgot about the supreme difficulty of keeping this kind of pressure under wraps with an open container. Albert Einstein might find the circulating fusion plasma enterprise an example of his pop psychology in action for much of the...

Re: Using gravity to create a self sustaining thermonuclear reaction
I just realized how stupid this approach is. 256 KG of TNT is easy to find in an old A bomb arsenal. And it is a heck of a lot harder to compress solid plutonium than it is water. And with a piston, well you'd need a pyrophyllite (pipestone) gasket and that is going to absorb a lot of the impact ene...

Re: Using gravity to create a self sustaining thermonuclear reaction
But a bad mind is a terrible thing to waste. I'm still on the case. Tomorrow I'll have the final answer.

Re: Using gravity to create a self sustaining thermonuclear reaction
After consulting with others I have found that: 1. The engineering difficulty is too high. 2. Even if it did work as planned, the energy release would probably tear the whole thing to smithereens. (200 KG TNT equivalent after 5 productive reflective shockwaves) 3. Gravity is a ruse here I have to ad...

Using gravity to create a self sustaining thermonuclear reaction
I’ve been informed by a mad scientist that there is simply no way that high explosives could achieve thermonuclear fusion. I kind of wish I got a better analysis but I understand the skepticism. The only way it could be worse is if I proposed using tiny piezo electric ceramics as the driving mechani...

Re: The world's worst reactor idea: The OhioVR mantis reactor
It was just a joke, obviously, a throwaway example of a fusion "concept" someone might dream up but never realistically implement. I found the post . The context was Chris's list of fusion technologies, and particularly what sort of concepts should be excluded from the list: Well, I think someone s...

Re: Tokamak reactors could be practical with this one weird trick
There is this company called lightmatter who is working on photonic quantum computing that is 7 times more efficient than the most powerful GPU processors on earth. The proliferation of these and proper simulation software may allow for vastly cheaper experimental apparatuses. Supercomputers that fi...

Re: Tokamak reactors could be practical with this one weird trick
I believe the solution is not going to come from our minds but from our eyes. Observation will lead us to the promise of fusion power. Mold grows and dies all the time. Someone was growing bacteria once in petri dishes while he was growing mold. Some fellow found bacteria being destroyed in a mold g...

Re: Tokamak reactors could be practical with this one weird trick
I think the story of fusion is exactly that, a story. Cheap, unlimited power. But when you do a simple look around at all the by products it is anything but cheap. It isn't safe. It isn't unlimited. It is nearly always a giant boondoggle. People who offer a tiny spark of hope get shunned. There is n...
