Re: One big battery
Telsa was able to make a longer lasting lithium ion battery. The previous battery pack only lasted a few thousand miles. They have now created a battery that can run an excess of 1.2 million miles in charge-discharge cycles. Production has already started. They should last about 16 years in cars. Th...

Re: MIT claim of fusion by 2025 proving LOL isn't just for the tweeter
Andrew Seltzman is doing a post doc in plasma physics and MIT (correct if im wrong). Does he have an opinion in this by any chance?
If he is reading this, what do you think about the article?
Just thought some thought from the "inside man" would be cool

Neutron Club Application - Ameen Aydan
Hi all! I'm excited to finally show my my results of my reactor. This culminates about 2.5 years and hundreds of hours of work since I first embarked on the challenge and I'm happy to say that I saw it through to the end.

Re: Ameen Aydan - Plasma and operation
Hi Dennis, I chose to light the plasma at 100 mTorr but the chamber does bottom out at 15mtorr. The problem is that it takes 30 minutes to get to that low pressure, and then a day to bottom out my Gauge with the turbo pump, sometimes longer. When the gauge was working, it indicated that I reached ab...

Ameen Aydan - Plasma and operation
Hi all, So I finally got my chamber assembled and pulled a vacuum on it about 3 weeks ago now. I got a plasma to light a few days ago and thought i would share my progress before I commit to fusion in a couple weeks. Here it is before assembly. I use a steel plate to secure it to my table.

Hi Joshua, I do remember you and actually recall that you made a decent amount of posts in this area. Often, the only way (and best way) to finding something, is unfortunately the hard way. This forum has a wealth of knowledge and advice and I'm sure you find useful. This however, isn't a market. My...

Re: Xray transformer mods
Hello, This reply came a lot later than it should have but I finished the transformer a while ago now. I used a schematic for dual polarity power supplies to better understand what was going on. Dual polarity.png Since it consists of two independent transformers and has two rectifiers as well, the s...
