Some time ago I e-mailed him asking him to donate or sell some of his ridiculously brilliant neutron detectors to focus-fusion/polywell. I included links to the various fusion projects we follow around here in hopes he might read about them, but I got no response. Maybe he did though. Tom if you tal...

You know I do hear that money ionizes well when puffed into a plasma....

Polywell solves inflation too!

New thread based on the NAVAIR funding placeholder? Or too soon? ladajo should do as he pleases.

Dan, thank you so much for posting those. Of striking note to me is early on in Bussards paper (forgive the weird number icons where formula should be); If Ec is initially at 10 keV, for example, then the tail of the distribution will be filled at 60 keV in this time. Now􀀇 at this higher energy the ...

Wish Tom Ligon would pipe in! Get a trusted 2nd or 3rd party to look it over first and make sure you aren't breaking your NDA, but come on man! Discuss this public information with us!

I agree with Dan's point 6 and 11 (which you failed to number!) most especially.

Bring on the p+B11 burns, baby!

Any new news? Or perhaps a new thread I missed? It has been some time.

President Obama said, We can also spur energy innovation with new incentives. The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change. But there's no reason why Congress shouldn't at least set a clean energy standard that creates a market for in...

Wednesday February 1 is very soon. New report will be out in a few weeks!

Think about what it would be like for vast swaths of North America to be covered in smog. That's what we're looking at if we don't find a clean energy solution. You forget one very important detail about GROWING fuel - CARBON in, carbon out. It's a carbon neutral process. No "smog". Biofuels eat ca...

I personally, would rather hold out for better batteries, super-caps E-Cats, or whatever solution like these is in our future, than start harvesting billions of acres to make butanol fuel that costs twice what petroleum does. IMHO, we need to press (and invest research dollars) for real solutions i...

I was basing point 3 on the gentleman who drove 10,000 miles in an unmodified engine on butanol: http://bioenergy.illinois.edu/pdf/Mr%20Butanol%20for%20CABER%20page.pdf In the case that there is NO EFFECTIVE DIFFERENCE between gas and butanol, one just advertises the product as butanol/gasoline and ...

Let me address your points: 1. This is the most valid. Agreed. 2. Brazil has an excellent model for this, and there is great promise for non-food product use (corn husk, ect). This point is concerning on the food front - however the problems are not ignored by the industry. 3. This outright does not...

http://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Biofuels/Butanol-Breakthrough-Could-This-Biofuel-One-Day-Replace-Gasoline.html Butanol may be used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine. Because its longer hydrocarbon chain causes it to be fairly non-polar, it is more similar to gasoline than it is to et...
