Analysis of the Bussards Polywell (Part 3 of 3)

Description

"Someday, they said, if they're right, a machine just 20 times bigger could run the city of Santa Fe." - The Santa Fe News Imagine if you could spend 200000 dollars on a machine, which satisfied all your energy needs. Imagine there was a machine which produced bountiful electricity with no carbon footprint and no radiation. Imagine if that machine held the capacity to make space exploration a real possibility. If that were true, then such a machine would be the greatest invention of our time. That is a big IF. That is the claim that Dr. Robert Bussard is making with his Polywell device. He is claiming that he has designed a machine which will create bountiful energy, with no radiation and no carbon footprint. Such a claim is hard to stomach. It is hard to believe. This video attempts to take a hard look at this claim. Where does it make sense? Where does it falter? How valid is it, from a rough engineering analysis. This is by no means comprehensive. I do not claim to be an expert. Hopefully, this will spark a conversation, and further investigation by honest experts, into this validity of this device. -------------- Ideally, you want the kinetic pressure of the electrons balanced by the magnetic field pressure. Bussard made a ratio out of these: This is his beta condition, which he references at Google, and in his Valencia paper. The highest beta can reach is 1; at beta equals 1 condition, the Whiffle ball containment is formed. Above one and any extra electrons would <b>...</b>
