    FEM skillsets can’t be distributed easily 🙂 … but perhaps the computations can?

    Considering that the first version of the “outline” logo I posted had both ends lopped off… and I hadn’t noticed… I think my going for animated gifs would be pushing things a bit 🙂

    … best to leave complex enhancements for others….

    On the other paw that is a lot of ink… maybe it needs to go on a diet?… and getting this effect was much easier than I’d thought for…

So the best ideas would be as simple as possible, easy to implement and not require any extensive engineering, prototyping, testing. The best ones would be already existing products – are there really none?

    What other applications require switching that much current with that level of precision timing? Power stations need the current but don’t need the timing. Many applications need the same or better timing but don’t need the current.

    This is not a joke. The muzzle energy of this gun is about 150KJ.

    I’m not even going to check your numbers this time…

    But let’s say that each pulse generates a whole megajoule… what difference would it make?

    Why?

    Or, in other words, what parameters are missing from your scenario?

    Handwaving is fun for invoking a background for a “what if” supposition… not so good when you say that you are trying to apply critical thinking.

    Design first, decoration later.

    It can be any and all colors that you like… or it can be engraved in stone. Substitute photorealistic effects for the sheath and filaments… or use primary colors.

    It’s flexible 🙂

    er… thought that was what this was about?

    … either that or fusion-powered gatling guns… 🙂

    The ‘trode array and the words “Focus Fusion” or “Focus Fusion Society” together form my suggestion for an alternate logo.

    The riffing on the “got milk?” and “all your base…” memes and suchlike are promotional ideas for the moment based on that logo.

    If you go back and read my post on the first iteration of this idea (whichever thread that was in 🙂 ) you’ll find that this flexibility was inherent in the concept.

    So, to reiterate, here is the logo suggestion proper in vertical and horizontal formats.

    … and then on to the “I can haz fuzion?” variant… 🙂

    Oh, I see. (or at least I used to)

    Pat

    Actually, that’s what happened to me…:)

    Of course the alternative was losing all remaining fragments of vision, so… diabetes takes no prisoners.

    simple colors and “all your base” riff… does the visual pun work?

    Just an old trick for implying 3d in 2d… not so effective if the viewer doesn’t twig to the fact that the filaments arch from the ‘trodes to the center… but still more effective than straight lines.

    That looks great! Do you have a high resolution version we can upload so folks can start sporting it around?

The idea now is to go viral with images, encourage a proliferation of them, get people out there talking about them. We’ll try lots of campaigns and images and see which ones are the most effective. Also, spinoffs will occur.

    Formally speaking: … is fine too 🙂

    … for text variations don’t forget

    Hmmm… add a couple of offset helix projections to a previous project, curve to emphasize central vortex, loft, add lower case text ala a certain dairy product campaign… but with a forward-looking verb emphasis… more dynamic, y’think?
