Hello Everyone,
This blog has been around since October, It has a modest 7 posts on the polywell, however, each post is a long quality one.
http://thepolywellblog.blogspot.com/
Also, if you were not already aware, this 57 minute film on the Polywell is on YouTube:

The film took 6 months of a volunteers' effort. The audio sucks. So there is a 27 page film transcript (complete with sketches, diagrams, calculations, ect...). This can be downloaded here:

Lots of good information here, you may not knew existed.

mattman,
I just authorized your link at my blog so folks will get directed to your blog if they are interested.
Give me a personal heads up or three the next time so I can be a little faster.

Hi Matt!
Why didn't someone tell me I have dancing caterpillars living above my eyes?

Aren't those referred to as Edward Teller mustaches? ;-)

I always thought they were the result of a dirty camera lens...the thought that they are actually attached to a head! Argh!
I am thinking that they scare small children in shopping malls, alot.

WOW! Talk about your topic drift! Polywell to eyebrows and scaring kids in three easy steps!

Great, now I'm worried that those fast neutrons Bussard detected were actually emitted by accretion disks around Tom's eyebrows.

Unlikely.
My hair is still almost all dark brown. I have a few white hairs in my eyebrows, mostly on the right. But my beard, especially my chin area, is lousy with white hairs. Not grey ... white.
Neutron damage, I expect. I had almost no white hairs in my beard before starting with EMC2.
Can I plug this site on another thread?

Hello,
I know allot of people just copy and paste their plugs for... all kinds of promotions/startups/alternative technologies on this site. I don't want to be one of those guys.
This polywell blog & film is quality information over quantity. For example: My next planned posting is going to be a "for dumbies" review of "A general critique of internal-electrostatic confinement fusion systems" an awesome physics paper on the polywell from 1995. The idea is break down these science papers so people without a background in it can follow them.
Can I add this post to another thread to generate interest?

Nah, thats just stress. My beard is the same way after four years of managing a virtual world dev company and all the attendant drama that comes with those communities. I'm just 42 and have as grey/white a beard as my 71 year old father who just survived cancer.
That is, unless LCD monitors emit neutrons...

All we have to do now is claim that a neutron flux will help you keep your hair. I'm proof positive. Heh.
If this catches on I predict a Polywell in every bathroom.
