I just read the Wikipedia dedscription of the Polywell
reactor design. I had read the excerpt of Dr. Bussards
talk at Google, but missed the important reference to
the electron trapping at the reactor core. Wikipedia
did a really good job clarifying that concept. Dang,
if I only had a couple of million to invest,,,
High Frontier or he would already know the answer to
most of his tirades. I regularly read the Bad
Astronomer Blog and love Phil Plaits efforts to debunk
pseudoscience. It's been a life time endeavor on his
part. Now he has a new book in the works, titled Death
from the Skies, that should go a long way toward
showing just how foolish some of these doomsday
scenarios are. I point this out just to note SSI isn't
alone in trying to wake people to REAL world
possibilities.
I'm trying to figure out a way to show some of my
design ideas for Colonies. They're very clear in my
mind, but I have a hard time converting those internal
images into the real world, having little skill at
technical drawing. I asked my son to check out the
availability of design/graphic software to assist me
in this regard, but he hasn't got back to me yet. I
may just have to get down and dirty, drawing the
colonies on drafting paper, photographing the
resulting images and uploading to my computer. I hope
I can accomplish this in some reasonable time and
upload the images,then I hope SSI can provide some
critical input. Maybe from such critical analyses I
can develop some real designs that would work,,,
