Thanks Bob for spending the time to get through this and summarize for us so i dont have to listen to the whole thing. I made it about 5 min in and decided there was other more important things on youtube to watch as it was obvious that this was another funding request to further more laser research for weapons and impossibly far from anything practical whatsoever.
Hi Bob, I'm just starting to review your reaction comments and will respond afterward. Just wanted to say, two friends alerted me to this "announcement" and I shot back without reading it that it's a throw, and I am studying fission/fusion, not hot fusion. At least my assertions are registered among my loved ones....Onward!
I want a rarefaction pulse heater, dang it! Very incisive review, thank you Bob. The USGs grasp of energy technology is so complete, it is imperative that such profound knowledge (as we at MFMP KNOW) remain Above Top Secret. The demonic use of such knowledge leads to a seemingly effective "OZs Curtain" to hide the only technology that matters: Condensed Matter Transmutations i.e. Nature's Wheelworks. We see your lab coat showing, professor Oz. Onward.
Needless to say, the BBC covered this in their news bulletins and on their website, to which I wrote in the comments section in response to their online bullutin of this "breakthrough moment" (according to the BBC):
The lasers require more than 300 megajoules worth of electricity to produce around 2 megajoules of ultraviolet laser light. In other words, even if the energy from the fusion reactions exceeds the energy from the lasers, it's still only around one percent of the total energy used. Now, there are pre-commercial systems producing lots of excess energy that are already up and running - but, for some reason, they never get mentioned. Why is that? These fusion systems will never deliver as they will always consume way more energy than they produce because they work against nature, not with it - and so, of course, are a "safe bet" for preserving the status quo in the energy field. Come on BBC, how about reporting on systems that work NOW, rather than this sloppy spoon-fed approach to non-stories from lobby groups who benefit enormously from otherwise unjustifiable funding streams and non-delivery of these "energy" systems that will ALWAYS BE CONSUMERS.
to which someone replied:
it takes very little power to power a laser, the amount they say is what comes out, not what went in
to which I replied:
nope, it really does take 300 MJoules to charge the laser - and it is why they can’t fire pulses at one per second as would be needed for a commercial system - it takes time to charge the capacitor banks that power the laser.
What is interesting is that the lasers are used to pinch the target pellet containing the deuterons - but that there are far more efficient ways to exert an inward pressure- an implosion - using magnetic confinement- in fact, a $50 ultrasonic jewellery cleaner with Aluminium in a water bath can be used to create magnetic vorticles that create a magnetic pressure of 50,000,000 Tesla, with the vorticles ripping at the Aluminium and then subjecting the resultant flecks to such forces that the nuclei literally collapse in on themselves to create a boson stack of alpha particles that, when released, reform into alpha conjugate nuclei - 3-alpha (Carbon-12), 4-alpha (Oxygen-16), and so on, in relative abundances matching those found in the Earth’s crust (the experiment is called ULTR, and has been independently replicated many times). As Viktor Schauberger said, Comprehend and copy nature - for this Electro-Nuclear Collapse / Electro-Nuclear reGeneration process is by far the simplest, cleanest, safest, best and most efficient way to generate energy, transmute matter and remediate nuclear waste. Yet, from the BBC, not a word…
Anyway, as you probably guess, I wasn't best pleased by this one-sided coverage ... which gives me an idea, as the BBC are always going on about "impartiality", why should this not also be so in this case? I will test this out by sending an email to BBC newswatch ... you never know.
It was a load of horseshit but most people don’t have the proper context or interest to become aware of it. It irks me that in 2006 really interesting results that could have been really conducent to an ICF system (4x thermal output vs kinetic energy imparted to the SS target by passing 20 million amps through it) were obtained, but as they were totally unexpected, were pretty much forgotten and brushed under the carpet. https://arstechnica.com/science/2006/03/3112/amp/
Well, I think in this case the unexpected results and the perspective that continuing this research could actually lead to a working aneutronic Inertial Confinement Fusion device, was what led to a quick "repurposing" of the Z machine and we never heard of anything else of this sort. French MHD specialist Dr. Jean Pierre Petit attempted to raise awareness to the huge importance of these results, but it had not major consequences. As he put in his analysis published years ago here: https://www.jp-petit.org/science/Z-machine/machines_MHD/machines_MHD.htm
"For me, as for the specialists, French or foreign with whom I had contacts, it is obvious that Fusion is at the end of the road. It suffices to place, for example, a needle of lithium hydride in the center of the "canary cage", or a thin rod of solidified deuterium-tritium (which we know has been manufactured for a long time) to lead to experiments with serious consequences. , on an emission of helium nuclei, easy to identify.
For humanity it is the source of energy, unlimited, non-polluting, non-radioactive, the machine which can change the whole organization and policy of our planet, in a few years (...)
For the military, it is the H bomb and the neutron bomb within the reach of the most modest countries, the uncontrollable dissemination of the thermonuclear weapon (...). A machine like Sandia's costs about a hundredth of that of a tokamak like ITER."
Happy New Year. A new article in Science Magazine identifies a previously unexplained fractal noise signature in crystals as new evidence for the existence of Dirac's magnetic monopoles. "Dynamic Fractal and Anomalous Noise in a Clean Magnetic Crystal." I think they're catching on! https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ade2301
So basically the idea is they claim they produced fusion. Regardless of if was done in any useful manner and efficiently, they boringly and drably announced it... in typical government fashion?
And you are saying there’s plenty of much more COP efficient ways of producing electricity?

It is shamelessly political at the beginning and meh throughout.
A simple wire constantan resistor is better in almost every respect at producing heat from electrical energy.

Thanks Bob, It brings It into perspective!
It is sad that I was able to accurately predict this announcement, but even my expectations were an order or magnitude higher than what was delivered.

Perhaps they needed another tranche of funding back then.

Yeah, that find in 2006 was yet another case of explain away anything that could lead to it actually working and move on…nothing to see here…..

When do I get my 192 lasers, deuterium, and enough diamonds to heat my house? Baby it’s cold outside! Merry Christmas!
