Another Step Closer to Fusion

02/04/2016 10:21 AM

will supercomputer modes be unlocking the final key to harnessing fusion? this looks good

That is good news. The first step is to get the simulation to match the experimental results.

I've been a little dubious. The 'gravity' of failure must 'weigh heavily' for those in on it's design.

I'll be the first to lick a nine volt battery should this pan out. ... but first a few more years of testing, cleaning and upgrading.

Hey, that's how I test 9 volt batteries!

I too can handle about 9, but I ain't gonna lick 12.

For that, I break out my Polish digital voltmeter....

Lick fingers, touch, how far you bounce is proportional to voltage.

Okay - it is time to change the name of the Forum from General to Fredski Questions and Challenges. Either that or Fredski, change your name to General.

Seriously, you do come up with some very good topics.

That was a compliment with a hidden question. How do you get so much time to post all these trivias you obviously must have first looked up? Do you have an internet connection direct to your brain?

close. about 4 years ago I had a massive brain hemorrhage. lets just say the parade passed me by and everyone moved on as I lingered in a coma and was given very poor odds of getting back to where I am today. I have a voracious appetite for knowledge and am constantly keeping my coconut busy......TV turns ones brain to jello so I devour daily information from the net on a wide variety of topics. I truly believe we have a realistic shot at cracking fusion. and in case you haven't noticed I think the making out of carbon to be this generations poster child of all things evil is overblown, misleading and just plain wrong.

so I constantly am exercising my brain and working on my walking therapy. this consumes more than 90% of my daily existence. if I come across an interesting tidbit of information or seaside building about to be donated to the ocean I pass it along to this forum because I know a few people like me find an occasional bit of value in some of my posts, not all but a few.

Yes - very good for you. You do post very interesting articles quite often. I just didn't understand how one person could catch all that and pass it on. Sounds like your near tragedy has increased the percent of grey matter you can use.

Carbon is at a percentage far less than argon in the atmosphere. Very questionable indeed that it should be the culprit. Looking at the history of climate, a heating cycle is due and we are in it. Perhaps we are helping it a bit, but it was going to happen anyway, so lets get it on. Ice age coming next, but when? Five hundred years from now, will people be trying to pump carbon into the atmosphere to slow the coming ice age?

Cheers to General Fredski! Anyone who can return from the depths you've been has inner strength and power beyond mere fusion...... but since you've come to mention it. I'm still not sure if this setup is gonna work. Continuous generation of the forces involved are planetary in massivity. And that's a literal statement!

It's not at all like a particle collider where it can be faked that it's working. um.. wink wink..

I'll be the first to use my Eastern European volt meter on a 24V! battery if it works within 5 years.
