Glenn Millam,

Confidence no matter from whom does not mean something is likely. Like I said the claims from your products sound vary impressive and if they are proven someday I

Well we can’t just leave garbage to decay and throw up CO2 and CH4 instead can we? My goal is to solve the energy problem first: peak oil is going to hit us harder and faster then global warming. With fusion oils we already net negative CO2 by making most of it into asphalt and plastics (assuming hydrogen, batteries or some other electrochemical storage substance takes up most of gasolines place) and make a profit at the same time. This is how people think: there not going to do something unless it benefits them in the short term (money) because there to stupid or selfish to care about the long term, at least this way everyone wins: they get money, a stable economy and reverse global warming.

ok ok I get you now, so your saying we make fusion powered recharging stations. The fusion reactor has got to by like within 50m of the recharger because you don

The people here claim they can reduce x-ray lose to acceptable levels because the powerful magnetic field can reduce electron-ion collisions and thus reduce bremsstrahlung losses. Even so they seem to hint that a several megawatt reactor will produce dozens or even hundreds of kilowatts of x-rays.

Yes it is possible to convert x-rays into energy directly (or indirectly by converting them in to heat) direct conversion of x-rays is not a developed technology though. The x-rays could be used to polymerize light hydrocarbons though but that is a idea for another thread.

Most of the mass and space is taken up by the shielding, the capacitors are peanuts in comparison. Capacitors don

Ok who is going to stop by at a “charging” station for several hours!?!? the advantage with charging is that you don’t need a charging station you can charge your car at home (or if your job’s building has external sockets you can charge at your job). In a day most Americans don

[Transmute]

Imagine stopping your car in for a recharge and hooking up huge cables as thick as your wrist, several of them!

Most electric car design today revolve around recharging at home during the night for several hours (6-9hr), or at a plug station at work using conventional 110-240V systems at about 1-4kw, any high requires significant modification to the building’s electric grid. For comparison gasoline pump fuel into a fuel tank at a equivalent energy amount of ~5Mw!

[Transmute]

in the system each pulse is stored in the capacitors allowing the timing to be change for the next pulse from 100,000 to 1 pulse per sec. By changing the timing the total power output is variable to what ever the grid demands require of it, this is opposite to how conventional power plants work which are slow or less efficient at changing power output levels. No matter what you need capacitors to start the reactors I don

[Transmute]

The stored energy allows for conversion into the power grid. Second it allows varying the power output of the fusion reactor: a duel system must fire every few microseconds a max power output in order to keep running!

[Transmute]

Try to remember recharge times are limited by physicist not technology: in any battery or ultracapacitor system to recharge it in minutes requires several megawatts, the electronics to handle this would have the be intense even superconducting in order to prevent a complete melt down! Even at a capacitor efficiency of 85-95% the heat build up would be horrific!

[Transmute]

1. Yes, just look around on this board alone!
2. I… I don’t understand the question?
3. Well the focus fusion people claim that they have reach temperatures high enough to cause p-b11 fusion, no one else has made that claim.

Glenn Millam,

You provide every extraordinary claims with no evidence what so ever to back them up. What your suggesting is an ultracapacitor with energy densities 10X+ existing ultracapacitors, if you can provide proof that this has been achieve and is marketable as claimed then I

[Transmute]

Aah Lerner you forget the old saying “anything can be used as a weapon”. I’m sure that if it works the military will find some use for it, either for simply powering ships/subs and military installations to powering energy weapons. It is DPF fault? No just human nature. Does that mean that because DPF could be used for some military purpose no matter how limited, we should not considering developing it despite the vast amount of good it could do? I think that later question is self-answering. I would even say that nuclear power should be used despite its potential for nuclear weapons proliferation, that the goods out weigh the bads.

[Transmute]

Torulf you have hit some good points, yes it is just a storage for fusion power, fusion power is stored in making oil, this is the same as hydrogen which is just electric power from any source stored. As I

[Transmute]

I was not trying to suggest diesel engine over a turbine ethanol engine, I was suggesting a turbine engine over a reciprocating engine, the fuel is irrelevant. Would you admit that any serial plug in hybrid is
