Fusion Report 29 August 2008
Alan Boyle has the latest on the EMC2 fusion experiments. Researchers have finished the first phase of an unorthodox, low-cost nuclear fusion experiment that has generated a megawatt's worth of buzz on the Internet - and they are now waiting for a verdict from their federal funders on whether to proceed to the next phase.That is a disappointment. However it is not completely negative so maybe further work is warranted. Nebel said his leave from Los Alamos is due to reach the one-year mark in mid-September, but he doesn't foresee any problem in extending the leave if the second-phase funding comes through. Whether or not the Navy funds the next phase, the past year's effort has been worth it, Nebel said. "We're generally happy with what we've been getting out of it, and we've learned a tremendous amount," he said.You will note that yours truly (IEC Fusion Technology blog) got a link from Mr. Boyle. I'm honored. If you haven't seen the material before read the link he gave Tom Ligon. And if you are interested in following the progress to date read Fusion Report 13 June 008 which has links to previous reports. I can't wait to read the full report.

Hmmm... tend to agree with you. A little tedious recital. Bill Clinton far surpassed him and Al Gore's first 3 minutes was much better. Clinton set the stage and left plenty of room for him. But Obama did not say anything new or anything specific. Great spectacle though, guess they wanted to rival the Olympics. Ed · August 28, 2008 11:21 PM Post a comment
