We stumbled through several discussion topics while waiting for the sun to set. The last part of the conversation turned from the BP spill to energy independence. "Oh, we are very close to that goal, closer than some people think," said the gentleman. "Really," I responded, "what business are you in?"... "My wife and I work for the NIF and there are some big annoucements coming in the next 30-60 days." That's when I piped up and asked, "Interesting, you guys have been making noise about net-power for some time, I don't suppose you have had time to study the latest version of Bussard's IEC concept call the "wiffleball", you know they got funded to build their large-scale model which, if it proves success visa vie Bussards scaling principle, it might be game set match?"<br /><br />He looked really nervous at this point and asked, "Who do you work for again??" That was the end of that conversation... I suppose he figured I worked for an agency that doesn't want him spreading rumors LOL<br /><br />Anyway, weather he was engaging in simple excitement or not, I would guess that there is a real competitive strain between these competing systems; with 1000's of livelihoods attached to success or failure.<br /><br />The sun eventually set :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911752388384243976.post-81125718605885947322010-07-17T23:25:04.948+01:002010-07-17T23:25:04.948+01:00Physics ought to rot, indeed it has rotted.

The US Navy which is funding Polywell is also funding LENR experiments. <br /><br />The explanation offered may or may not have merit. That says nothing about whether the work itself is of any interest. <br /><br />So IMO you should limit your remarks to "nut" explanations. The science is not nuts. <br /><br />And you might wish to recall that Fermi's paper on Beta Decay was at first turned down as too fantastic to merit publication in a real science journal. <br /><br />In fact I just did a post on <a href="http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2010/02/scientist-quits.html" rel="nofollow">Junk Science Which Turned Out To Be Correct</a>.M.
