One response to “Another Polywell Fusion Write Up”
Man Mountain Molehill
This sounds like the kind of thing Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos would be interested in. A relatively cheap investment with the potential for enormous, world-changing payback. Makes a lot more sense than boutique electric cars, for one example.
A point I haven’t seen made, polywell fusion is not cold, warm or any other kind of LENR, it’s real, honest to my grandma, plasma (hot) fusion, just a radically different way to accelerate the plasma nuclei into each other.
The mainstream fusioneers have been building bigger and better tokamaks since the 1960s and they still don’t work. If you spend $billions on particle accelerators you at least get the occasional Higgs. Tokamaks just sit there absorbing huge amounts of power and making a few neutrons as a side effect, or something.
