Screw Gas, make your own sunlight! Mr. Fusion Here we come!

So yet another morning of generating reports has gone by, I came across IEC based Fusion in my last post, Electron Power Systems. Then I thought, why not look into that idea? it's a viable form of low cost fusion, so what the hell right? In my mind physicists are people that have energy complexes, they love putting huge amounts of energy into tiny spaces; say like a macho man that drives a really nice car, although science won't let you afford a nice car, but it just might save the planet. (tm) Enter the Google talk with Doctor Robert W. Bussard, available here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1996321846673788606 If you have the hour and thirty six minutes as well as a good command of the English, engineering and physics languages you may just understand what he's saying. I'm not even going to attempt to digest it at the moment because I am still digesting what he means by B-fields (H/B magentic feilds?) and gyro-radii (radius of rotation of an electron?), of co...

Grow your gas!

In the millions of ideas that plague my clouded and hectic mind I've wondered about a lot of things. One of them is our ongoing energy crisis. A good friend once told me that If i could find a way to access the frozen methane under the continental shelf I'd be rich a few billion times over since this is the worlds largest deposit of natural gas, it's just below a thousand feet of water a few hundred meters of rock and frozen. Then there's the psudeo science crowd claiming that Maxwell, Planck and Einstien were wrong and that Tesla was right and that we can pull energy from static charges or the zero point. ZPE does exist and it is real, the only effect that has been measured by physicists is the Casimir one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect This force is more akin to gravity than anything else, the brilliant folks at the university of St. Andrews in the united kingdom figured out how to levitate things with it, I posted about it earlier last year. http://www....
