California To Fund Bussard Fusion
Wonderful News!!!! Governor Schwarzenegger of California is planning to fund Dr Bussards IEC Fusion project. In a move sure to impress environmentalists and further cement his Earth friendly image, Governor Schwarzenegger is set to launch a multimillion dollar research effort into a revolutionary new source of clean non-polluting power.It is not completely neutron free. However, the neutron production is minimal. This is the break though in funding I have been looking for for the last nine months. Better than sex. Here are a couple of links explaining what the excitement is all about: Cross Posted at Power and Control and at The Astute Bloggers posted by Simon on 07.24.07 at 04:23 PM

What is the source for this information? Thanks. Steve A · July 24, 2007 10:45 PM What is the source for this information? Thanks. Anonymous · July 24, 2007 10:45 PM Finally! Guess all those sci-fi movies had an influence on the Governator. Scott · July 24, 2007 10:53 PM M. Simon · July 24, 2007 11:11 PM I wonder if the Governator reads Classical Values? HEY ARNOLD WTG! (just in case) Papertiger · July 24, 2007 11:42 PM There is something about Dr. Bussard's concept that I would like to see addressed. He aims to fuse boron and protium. This reaction produces a nucleus of Carbon 12 in an "excited" state which decays, eventually yeilding several helium nucleii and a lot of energy. Well, what if you started with Carbon 12 in the first place? What would it take to "excite" a carbon 12 nucleus so that it would decay? That might be easier to achieve than nuclear fusion. I wonder if anyone is working on that concept? Graham Toquer · August 14, 2007 11:21 AM It turns out that you have to look at the mass difference between the starting particles and the ending particles to figure out the energy yield. The proton - Boron 11 reaction has a bigger mass difference than a Carbon 12 - proton reaction. The reason being that He4 result is unusually stable - which means it has high energy output. AWith C12 + p you get C13 which means 2 Heliums and a Lithium 5. Which is not as good as 3 He4 in terms of energy productiuon. M. Simon · August 14, 2007 12:49 PM Post a comment
