Did something bad happen? I am marrying tomorrow, I’d like to hear some good news a gift!
Well, good luck! 🙂
What do you mean by workflow? Website? Stakeholders? The project workflow itself?
The prayer of St. Francis (13th century)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

what is the engine’s principle of operation? how close to ideal does it’s efficiency get?
Use tungsten as the container, which has extremely high boiling points and high tensile strength. Cool the tin by immersing the tungsten, molded as a coil, in water.The vapor will move helices. Cold start the system it using tungsten as a resistor until it melts tin, and so, turn on the machine. For efficiency, I have no idea, but the differences of temperature are huge. The only element better than tin is gallium, but it is very rare.
Why not tin? Going almost to boiling temperature and lowing it to melting, it gives an ideal of 83% efficiency. It has a reasonably high density and atomic weight, so it can capture a lot of x-rays.
Don’t you think this onion would waste a lot of energy by thermal loses? Why not just heating a liquid?
Why not immersing a PFF device in a pool of mercury and make its vapor moving helices?

What is this study? How was it done if entrance in NK is very controlled?
Pretty much like the old USSR.
What is the angular distribution of x-rays around the plasmoid?
With a huge quantity of energy available, they could become totally self sufficient within a few years. They could start by providing energy to mining operations. So, the first sign of that would be that instead of NK being a black hole seeing from space at night, there would be a few bright stars around the mountain ranges.
The impression I have about FFP it is that it was not achieved 30+ years ago it is that no one thought it would suppress bremsstrahlung radiation with the magnetic field in the pinch. But after Lerner posted the idea a few years ago on the net, it would be very trivial to achieve that. Much easier than even design an atomic bomb or a ICBM, even if it is a fluke lauch. So, I dont think it is hard to imagine NK with a FFP.
Well, I didnt question the political uses of it directly but how we could come to know that they do have this form of fusion, without announcing it directly. What would NK start requesting or trading with it? What kind of thing would satellites would start seeing?
They could just easily heat their crops on green houses.
