Thank you for your kind feedback bcreighton7.
While we do collaborate, just to clarify FFS is not directly affiliated with LPP Fusion.
I will pass the concept logo to our art contributor as a feedback.

I would trust that as a fusion-for-peace collaborator Eric does not appreciate the idea of a DPF being used as a weapon. Certainly military capacity does not necessary mean more war, however I agree that having a large amount of power is a military capacity in itself – imagine a warship armed with a few rail-guns:

or otherwise high powered laser weapons

However I would think in a book of more fiction than science you could image shooting a huge plasmoid at a high velocity into a target and expecting it to explode in a fusion reaction that would also release a large burst of xrays as dangerous radiation. This would probably be a high rate of fire weapon and in terms of operating environment it would be easier to imagine it working in space, however due to ball lightning “myths” it might be possible to explain it working in atmosphere.

Dear Akhenaten,
while it is sometimes important to prove a point and be an ass-hole about it, please refrain from doing so to everyone. Generally people in this forum are nice (at least to mods) and we want to keep it that way.
In case the opposite happens feel free to use the report button and/or be the upstanding person of not going into a low level mud slinging or otherwise I will have to use the mod magic of drafting a specific rule and banning you for violating it.

I do expect population to grow rapidly after the next industrial revolution is achieved trough clean cheap and plentiful fusion energy. However it will not necessary happen on Earth as unlimited clean energy will transform the economy, provide the necessary resources and enable the manufacture, support and population of extra-terrestrial colonies.

I believe the controversial cold fusion is used yet again to derail the funding towards viable hot fusion approaches:

I think we need to start an initiative towards writing to the house members and Alan Grayson to not to focus on the controversy in cold fusion and to help fund the investigation into innovative confinement concepts including LPP Fusion.

HI Patientman. the forum link is in the top of the menu.
Education certainly should be part of discussion. We will be able to post education and new articles on the new site and hopefully there will be both supply and demand for them.

Not sure about it, but this is some comment we got on facebook:
>I just read this: “According to DuPont the heat-induced shrinkage is caused by the relaxation of stresses imposed during manufacture.”
>If this is true, wouldn’t an obvious solution be to pre-shrink a sheet of mylar at 150°C before cutting out the shapes you need for the device?

Another way could be to use local laser cleaning:

you might however need to do it while the chamber is sealer and filled with inertial gas, which would be quite complicated (need a robotic hand or something).

Thank you. I really appreciate your effort and would love to help out again.

I haven’t read the paper (who has time for that), but possibly they are talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Einstein_condensate
in this instance the nuclei are loose most of the space between them and start acting as a single nucleus. You cannot have that freely floaing in a reactor, but you could inject pellets with it.

Hi TCG,
As a long time director on FFS board, it great to hear that you would like to start this initiative and. We certainly would love to have someone talk more about Fusion and we do believe we have some exciting time up ahead and we certainly would love to co-host your articles on our website too and link them on facebook if at all possible. I PM’d you my contact details if you want to chat further.

Fusion Scientist AMA does sound a good idea. Eric tried doing it once during the Indiegogo campaign, but did not provide sufficient proof and it was shut-down early.
What about science celebrities such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Richard Dawkins and Brian Cox? I am sure they know about ITER, but maybe we could get them excited about innovative fusion concepts?

It seems there is a non-profit plan, but it seems to be more suitable for private teams rather than public

Would there be a better alternative?
