| US Navy Non-Radioactive Fusion |
| 2008-10-30 |
| The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure on an other than full and open competition basis a service to provide: 1) Research of Electrostatic "Wiffle Ball" Fusion Device. The contractor is to specifically investigate the required instrumentation to achieve spatially resolved plasma densities and spatially resolved particle energies. This requirement is sole sourced to Energy Matter Conversion Corporation, 1202 Parkway Drive, Suite A, Santa Fe, NM 87501, as the only company in the world investigating and developing this type of device... http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Inertial-Electrodynamic_Fusion_Device "The fusion process recommended by Dr. Bussard takes boron-11 and fuses a proton to it, producing, in its excited state, a carbon-12 atom. This excited carbon-12 atom decays to beryllium-8 and helium-4. Beryllium-8 very quickly (in 10-13 s) decays into two more helium-4 atoms. This is the only nuclear-energy releasing process in the whole world that releases fusion energy and three helium atoms -- and no neutrons. This reaction is completely radiation free. "[The fusion process that powers stars is enabled by the gravitational force field that draws particles directly together]. Only one other force is known to be like gravity: this is the electric field force or "coulomb" force, between electrically-charged particles. "Charged particles of opposite signs attract each other with direct forces; charged particles in electric fields feel forces directly along field gradients. Thus, fusion fuel plasmas could be held together efficiently by electric forces and electric fields. This is called "Electric Fusion". |

| #2 Sounds like something from the lab of Dr. Emmet Brown, or even more obscurely, Ball Lightning - for Jean Shepherd fans. |

| #1 Is this that thing in Best Defense which Dudly Moore invented? |
