Just for fun (and since there is a wait for WB-7 results) I have posted a bit on some cosmological speculations on the relationship of matter and energy at IEC...

One major issue is how to measure accurately the temperature and density of the plasma, both of which must reach critical values to maintain the fusion...
I've been playing around with ideas how the electric field of the charged coils plays out. Here are some of my findings, lots of pretty pictures this time: ...

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...
