Simon, I am looking for a high level, approx. 10 items, estimate of what a 300MWe power plant would cost outside of the core reactor assuming p+B11. Mitchell...
Attached is a chart from DOE which I think shows the US electric generation by fuel. If Coal and Natural gas electric generation (3,000 billion kilowatthours)...
Ya, Not the same but related. 300 MWe fusion plant would produce 300 MW-years or 300000 Kw-year 300000 * 365 * 24 = 2,628,000,000 KW-hours 3,000 / 2.628 = 1141...
Vacuum system Power supplies - grid - magnet Power Converters - bi directional - 1 to 2 MV DC 10 KW for converter grid charging - 100 MW DC to AC for power...

I think I missed announcing ephi-0.12. Here's ephi-0.13: 2007-11-08, ver 0.13 * fixed an issue with threading deadlock * polyp: calculate electric field of a...
Wikipedia describes how we only have conventional reserves of copper for about 60 years. However, one has to factor in exponential increase in consumption as...
Most of our copper reserves are above ground. Fiber to the home will release a lot of copper. Aluminum is fine for HV transmission. Its price depends on the...
I think long-haul electrical transmission is already largely done with aluminum. Although a cubic inch of copper carries about 55% more electricity than a...

There are also carbon nano-tubes conducting 10 times better than cupper. Energy from fusion may make it possible to make recycling more effective and to...
Hi all, thanks for all the replies on copper... it sounds like aluminium and substitution & recycling it all back into the "Industrial-Ecosystem" have that...

I played around with electron gun placement and the electric field. The emitters are at ground potential and so "compress" the field between them and the...
Does the emitter have to be at ground potential? Can't it be at the correct potential, if it consisted of a small cylinder with a screen in front and the true...
I'm a bit shallow on electron guns. But what do you mean by "correct potential"? The idea of the electron guns is not to give the electrons a lot of kinetic...
Indrek, You are exactly correct. On a power producing machine, because of the geometries involved with the collectors electron guns can only be used at start...
If that's the case, how does this work at all? You must lose some electrons, and they can't be replaced? ... -- -dk The pen is mightier than the sword -- and...
Are you saying there is no faraday cage at ground potential between the coils and the collectors? In that case, what stops the electrons from escaping to the...
