Beautiful! I have posted a bit on this at the NASA Space Flight Discussion. http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=5367&mid=135061#M135061...
1.433 would be about 69,000 to 1 range. A 65,535 to 1 range would be a step size of about 1.430 It would be (step size)^n-1 = range where n = the number of...

Thanks. It would be great if anyone could confirm whether they actually got the $2M from the original contract as the story implies, and if they're planning...

OK, so the funding is cut off and there is zero money now. Glad that's cleared up. The different interpretations out there were confusing. It's a real shame...

Assuming Bussard can build a 100MW reaction, where his magnets are only 2m or less from the source, what happens to the superconducting magnets when bombarded...
Its an engineering problem. A water jacket around the magnets is probably the answer. The jacket will probably have to be designed for frequent replacement due...
At our current level of understanding that is interesting speculation. It also bears on the question of electron circulation and the formation of the virtual...

Yes. The proton and boron-11 fuse to temporarily create an unstable isomer of carbon-12, which then fissions to create three helium-4s. (Stolen from ...
