I certainly don't mean to put words in Art's mouth, but obviously since he has voiced his professional opinion here about polywell's chances, it is worthwhile to follow it.

If it works, thats great.

If not, he gets the bragging rights. (In a good way).

Agreed. The average poster is not a trained, professional plasma physicist.

I'm acually glad Arts been around so long. I read more than I post on here but its surprising so many people keep coming back with so little news.

Everyone's heard Einstein's quote about how WWIII will be fought.... All the more reason to start making colonies in space before we all blow ourselves to bits. I don't see it being very likely right now, but who knows what the world political climate will be like years from now. But I don't see wha...

I'm just wondering what everyones thoughts are on Obama's proposed economic stimulus plan. (See the latest video address at change.gov) Now I do know more economics than the average guy (as in I've had 4 econ classes up to the 300 level) but I'm still not 100% sure this is the way to go. I know this...

I was a freshmen in highschool, and I was looking up fusion stuff because I was a sci-fi nut. I eventually hung out at fusor.net enough to get really interested in IEC. This led to eventually reading Tom Ligon's "The World's Simplest Fusion Reactor." From here I was really interested in the work Tom...

I don't like throwing the fascism word around. It is so ill-defined that you can apply it to so many different societies, but the word always has a negative connotation. There are some people here who are rational and intelligent liberals. If you're going to have an intelligent conversation about po...

I'm suspending judgment. This is totally outside of my field, and if the experts can't agree, then my opinion has no credibility. I'll just support the fact that an open discussion needs to continue on the topic, ensuring that some scientists who believe in global warming religiously don't overpower...

well if you want easy to use, just use google sketchup

not very powerful though =)

I know that ever since I've been here, people like MSimon have been saying that we're more likely to go into an ice age than kill ourselves with global warming. Well, I found this article about that.

Funny... I don't remember learning much "so fifteen minutes ago" during my MecE undergrad... It was more Newtonian dynamics and solid mechanics and fluid mechanics and calculus and differential equations and statistics and acoustics and thermodynamics and the fundamentals of numerical methods and s...

obama doesn't plan to bankrupt coal, he only wants to bankrupt those who don't slowly adapt.

And its not with taxes, its with regulations which require polluting parties to purchase the rights to pollute.

I know there are a lot of McCain supporters on here, so I can see why you think this is what you've been waiting for. But this is obviously another video that McCain supporters are trying to spin to make Obama look bad right before the election. Obama does not want to bankrupt coal plants, obviously...

ahhh you beat me to it =(

strange that we've been waiting for news for months, and as soon as news comes it reads: "no new news"

Does anyone think Fusor might eventually become a nickname for the BFR?

PS: BFR reminds me of the BFG 9000

sweet.

I'm already telling my engineering friends up here in Ann arbor to keep on their toes in case anything big happens in fusion. The suspense is killing me.
