What is pulse power?

I’m rather afraid that, [em]despite the best of intentions[/em], that it may wind up being an excuse by vested interests to add an unneeded $5,000,000 talking point to any discussion of FF funding and applications.

And I ask again: if what FF has built up is working now why insist on talking up the 5 mil solution?

The “best intention” was to educate folks on the boards about the plasma focus. My plan was present the state of the art in each technology so people could understand how the technology works and not express my personal opinion on the next step. I welcome input from others as they might know things I don’t.

Again, I answer that it was a suggestion for moving forward. FoFu-1 is working but the point was to help others understand it. Some posts leave me feeling that some folks don’t understand the technology behind the PF and want to know more. My intention was to help.

My question to you, what is my vested interest? Do you know? My guess is you do not. I offer you this; I don’t care if conventional pulse power, the LTD or some other pulse power scheme is used on the next generation of FoFu. It was a suggestion that might overcome some of the technical challenges that I know are dogging FoFu-1. I am familiar with the problems as I have faced them in my devices. My vested interest is saving others the growing pains that I suffered in my experiments. Beyond that, people can use the information as they see fit.

I don’t work for the oligarch or the man or some other nefarious entity. I work for a small business very similar to LPP with a different goal for the plasma focus. I’m no more the “bad guy” than anyone at LPP.
