Access to journal articles
As you know when trying to access academic journals online, there is often a fee associated with them. Most institutions provide these materials to their students, faculty, members and alumni. We could negotiate to likewise offer access.

We may have to pay for this, we may get it as a donation from them that we turn around and use to encourage people to donate to us.

Looking at About Physical Review Letters, we see

Features for Authors

* Free to Read – Authors or other parties may choose to pay a one-time fee to make chosen articles available to all readers at no cost and without a subscription.

As a society, we could approach several key publications and see if we could make articles available to our members with either a password, or what have you.

Something, again, which needs to be researched and negotiated.

There should be an app for this : )

I like this idea. A lot of these articles cost $30 or more.

I didn’t know it at the time but I was trying to describe a circuit using a Plasma Opening Switch POS. It basically works like a DPF. A fast unit is hard to find. Perhaps the LPPX technology could be used to create a very fast switch that could be patented.

You can get a good idea from the tutorial at Heavy Ion Fusion Science

Thanks for the link. Now it makes sense. c=b/a. Using a ratio is handy for modeling.

Here are some possible federal grants that LPPX could apply for:

The second page shows the illustrations upside down. We can work with that. The first equation below the illustrations is fundamental to the rest of the paper. The term (b^2 – a^2) on the left side of the equation is changed to (c^2 – 1)a^2 on the right side of the equation. That doesn’t look right to me. I drew a diagram and substituted numbers in the terms and the results are not the same.

The link that I meant to post was Theory of Facility. The first equation is on page two of the paper and is the one I am questioning. It is in the first section under Axial Phase. It is the equation for rate of change of momentum.

The simple way to handle the urls is to copy the url starting from right to left and then pasting it in a new session.

As long as the DPF units are using deuterium and producing neutrons, can they be used to make radioisotopes for sale? Go to page 461 of the Congressional Budget Request

i thought most (all?) medical radioisotopes are fission products?

Here is the Wikipedia link to the production of radioisotopes

If 45 KV is not high enough, can we use a 30 to 50 KV deuterium particle beam to bombard a 45 KV pinch? Would that provide the 75 to 95 KV energy to probe the voltage levels that would be effective?

Not really, because what causes the fusion is the dense current of the pinch.
Looks like it has already been tried with an electron beam: Neutron enhancement

Some of the links are old but I followed the US Office of Fusion Energy link and that lead to the Fusion Energy Sciences tab and all kinds of good stuff.
