Re: News story summarizing current contenders
Zap is mentioned at the end of the MIFTI paragraph. Amazing that Gates will spend a hundred or two hundred million just to get $50000 in free government money. Sigh. What a grifter. That's the first time I've heard of Helicity Space. I couldn't find anything of substance on their website. Looks like...

Re: More Helion Energy news....
I am disappointed in the IEEE publication Spectrum https://spectrum.ieee.org/general-fusion-takes-aim-at-practical-fusion-power They did not even get the fact that the site for the Utility scale demo plant has been selected. Hm. I don't want to disagree with you but I didn't get any sense of negati...

Re: Polywell: "Final nail?"
I just noticed that the intro to the Wikipedia article says that research was conducted between the 1960's and 2019. My memory is that Bussard had the idea well before he retired, but didn't actually start researching it until he formed EMC. Of course, I can't refer to Wikipedia any more to check. W...
Re: EMC2 news
Just noticed a paper by Dr. Park, published back in December.

Re: EMC2 news
I'm curious to know whether anyone has whether EMC2 is participating in DoE's cost-sharing private/public partnership program. It seems like a good opportunity to push things a little further along. Any news from Park in general? https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/20/2020-08312/cost-s...

Re: Z-Pinch Renaissance
I do not know where people are seeing 10 million Isp. I read an Isp of ~360,000 seconds and 330 kN of thrust for the D+He3 configuration. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018APS..DPPC11163S Building on the ZaP, ZaP-HD, and FuZE projects, scaling studies will be presented of an SFS Z-pinch as a fusion...
Re: EMC2 news
Notably hidden among the budget items for NASA was a $100 million allocation to develop a nuclear thermal rockets. Does anybody know if polywell tried to get their fingers into that rice bowl? Not a community rice bowl, although there are other rice bowls specifically meant for the topic. That prog...

Re: Z-Pinch Renaissance
Well now. The space propulsion paper with the exhaust velocities of 1 x 10^7 have just up and disappeared. Another paper has appeared in its place. Strange indeed! Looks like some of the slots were replaced with the Staged Z- Pinch. Might just be a scheduling thing. There is an older (2006) paper o...

That's pretty disappointing. Once again, the absence of any proof proves the conspiracy is real.

Re: Go For New Navy Funding To Finish
Given that it's unlikely Trump will appoint physicists to the SecE position, as Obama did, and Hamm or anybody else Trump appoints will have even heard of nuclear fusion, I fail to see the logic here.

Re: One more iec fusion devise.
Why do folks not have the common sense (and balls, sweat and tears) to actually try building something before shooting off their daft theories to bore everyone, and fill up the annuls of academic publications with their guff? Come now. There is a learning process. Be civilized. The writer or people...

Well, ahh, yes, the defense challenge aggregate has gotten worse since the cold war. Having a single predictable opponent was much cheaper and easier to manage than the current multiple smaller unpredictable asymetric ones. I would take the Soviets back over the current disaggregate mess. You would...
