Natural Science Forum / Physics / Fusion / September 2003

They will nuke New York soon and other Western cities and Israel will
be destroyed,too !
Arabic scientists are much more intelligent than moronic Amerians and
so the Iran has developed this bomb !

I've been away from the Cold Fusion controversy for a number of years.
I used to post as Rock_nj on sci.physics.fusion back in the mid 1990s
(perhaps some old timers remember me?).
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find that more and more

Breaking Through By Dr. Eugene Mallove
an editorial for Infinite Energy Magazine No.51, September 2003

Here are some of the high points to be taken from ICCF10:

Reasonable doubt
New Scientist vol 177 issue 2388 - 29 March 2003, page 36
No sooner had cold fusion surfaced than it was written off, and the
idea that you could extract virtually limitless free energy from water

Cold Fusion, The Big Picture
An interview with Edmund Storms, Ph.D.
On February 22, 2003 I had the pleasure of spending the day with Dr.
Edmund Storms.  This was my chance to ask all the burning questions

Take a look at this

JL Naudin is playing with the multimedia capabilities
of the internet, so he is getting a very interesting

How does the tokamak work?
Hi--I'm new, and i probably haven't had the physics education most of
you have had--but I'll still ask questions, although most may seem
stupid to you.

Of course, the subject should have been in English. Indeed
the book is in English as well. It can be found at:

The text adds a new section on nuclear physics

A muonic-atom is easily built and easily commits fusion events with a
67% breakeven.
But building a tau-atom is impossible. It has nearly twice the MeV of a
proton

Could anyone say whether this description of a IEC fusion power plant
quite credible (it's for a sci-fi novel)?
The vaccum chamber is 4 meters (13 feet) in diameter.
The central  spherical grid is 30 centimeters  (one foot) in diameter
