I hosted a talk given by Seth Putterman on sonic fusion some time back. See: http://home.fuse.net/clymer/snf/ He arrived with a pile of transparencies and wanted to know how long he had to talk. I asked him what he was comfortable with. He replied anywhere between a half and six hours. It was very interesting with absolutely no smoke and few mirrors. Small joke.
Putterman’s discussion was absolutely fascinating. Looking at his equipment it seems he actually has some “desk top” devices that easily produce varying levels of electrons, protons and neutrons and varying electron volt power levels (I can only guess that’s in terms of mass and velocity so you can tell us ~ he didn’t).
I keep my Science at the throne in the main throne room so it is ever present to read as conditions permit or require.
For shorter snippets I keep Science News there.
I have a FREE SUBSCRIPTION from Science ~ a reward for finding errors and reporting them. One of the ways folks outside of the realm of the degreed masterminds can contribute.
