And ohmic heating in copper coils scales linear with wire lenght. Wire lenght scales up r² if you grow coil volume too. That make ohmic coils quite unpractical. Art can maybe do some calculation how much it take power to feed say 6pcs 1m coils if coil diameter is 10cm and B=1T. Assume that coil mate...

Superconducting magnets generating field depends only inside currents. Only limiting thing is critical current. High fields itselfs are not limit, but they generate repulsion currents. You can find some proof with "freezing fields" words. Sc internal structure and current loops say how well it perfo...

After just reading the above post and associated posts I am suspicious of the above calculations. Perhaps he multiplied diameter by 7 as opposed to using the 7th power of diameter. I'm too lazy to carefully follow the math, but using examples with the presumed power gain = diameter to the 7th power...

If ever BFR used star traveling trips, then it should burn H2. It give maximum energy per kg. Neutrons should capture to LH2 jacket and produce D2. Neutron escape to space is energy loss. Alphas produce electricity, after that they come 2nd BFR burn further etc until we are in Fe. After that Fe ions...

Actually it is human nature. Males are warriors. And worse is alpha males want to control stuff. Maybe some, but not all people. Propeties that are bad should reduce in Darvin cycles. The idea that it is TV and Hollywood is nuts. For American Plains Indians there was no Hollywood in 1800 and yet th...

Dr. Mike: http://www.fingrid.fi/uploads/ConstructionSiteMap/attachments/esite.pdf It is an air insulated 400KV DC converter. It is not small. It is twenty years old thecnology. I was small boy when they build it. I remember some articles and thinked why they want use DC to carry energy. It is so co...

Kiteman, I'm suggesting what could be done if some one was bloody minded. Why to scare? If BFR works it give so much good that there is no more need to make oil wars etc. And after US stop saying what other countries are allowed to do there is no angry terrorist against US. Fundamentals (idiots) be...

using a deuterium or lead blanket would work well as a way of capturing the energy from the neutrons. Though it's my lack of knowledge in certain areas of nuclear technology, but I thought that fission produced thermal energy as well as neutrons. When neutrons and gammas hit material, they produce ...

The theory is that nuclear fission and fusion can be used to help each other, especially in the case of a standard fusor. How you handle fission waste products? How capture fission neutrons energy? What fission things help fusion? Ok, on/off neutron source maybe, but fission waste make off situatio...

Where do I put the at sign? Too hard, ok, easyer now? eerin at xylogas. fi I read some: http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=66&highlight=permanent+magnet I see now it is posible to magnetize permanet magnet ring correctly. But correctly magnetized permanent magnet field lines keep insid...

How can winding a ribbon around a spool be a harder problem than assembling a bunch of stampings? I think Bitter idea is resist magnet forces, so windins need to be disks that carry expansion better and are bolted with end plates together to keep plates not expoloding away. Cooling is also quite ea...

It is where the field lines converge. In an electromagnet they converge in "empty" space. In a permanent magnet they converge on the face of the magnet. Draw a picture - it will be obvious. In an electromagnet the field lines go around the coil. In a permanent magnet they enter one face and exit th...

Permanent Magnets won't work. The field lines are in the wrong place. Electromagnets are the only way. This has been discussed extensively on this board. Look around. Uh, not find yet, there are so much text it take month ore more to read all. However I can't yet imagine why they can't magnetize li...

C'mon, guys. If you're going to do serious CAD, you have to spend some money. It's just the way the world works. Works now, but things can change. GPL is powerfull thing if enough skilled people thinks they need free CAD they can do it. In my job I use IronCad, which is the cheapest "full-feature "...
