I am the President of Vulvox Nanobiotechnology Corporation and we have tried to get the Sandia and Lawrence Berkely Laboratories to read our report on utilizing nanotechnology to amplify the yields of nuclear fusion reaction obatined from z machine solenoids like those detailed above.
Their results dont surprise me at all. The report I wrote predicted the effect that Mathew Haines attributed to microturbulence. The labs I mentioned above have refused to read our report on z-machine solenoids of the type they are researching in the Z machine facility. They sent back a report we sent them after they signed an agreement to review it as part of a CRADA application . That happened twice to us. They are violating the Bahy Dole Act and the Wydler-Stevenson Act that govern CRADAs at government facilities.
Reporters who are interested in an interview contact Neil Farbstein at 516-921-5058 or at protn7@att.net
Why do they use normally use tungsten in the Z-machine? Is it because of its density or its high melting point? What would happen if they used a denser metal such as osmium or a more conductive one such as gold or perhaps uranium for the wires in the Z-machine?
i wonder how they calibrated their thermometer.
Has anybody actually studied physics? Degree's and Kelvin are two very different measurement systems!
I'd say the difference between Celsius and Kelvin (if that's what you mean) is well within the experiment's measurement error...
Bill is wrong. "Degree" is a unit of measurement, "Kelvin" is a scale of measurement. There are three commonly used scales of temperature measurement: degrees Farenheit, degrees Celsius (some still call it Centigrade), and degrees Kelvin. Kelvin is calibrated just like Celsius, but with the zero point at absolute zero (-273.15 deg.C), not the freezing temperature of water at sea level. There's a fourth scale, the Farenheit analog of Kelvin, but I can't recall what it's called - it's abbreviated R.
Anyone else find interesting the part where they say more energy was produced than was put into the system?
And if it is hotter than the interior of our sun, shouldnt this make nuclear fusion viable?
I just think the implications for energy production are incredible if this is something that can be reproduced on a wider scale

So is this the right path to fusion? Are tokamaks a waste of time? We need energy fast; before world economic collapse.
It is not measured with a thermometer, but with a spectral analyser 
After what i learned in physics the difference is that 0 kelvin = -273.15 Celcius an in an 2 Billion degree experiment that isn't a big diffrence ;-)
Degrees and Kelvin? Degrees is not a measurement system at all, I can only assume you are referring to Celsius or Farenheit. But at extremes such as 2 billion degrees? The difference between Celsius and Kelvin is simply 273.15 degrees Celsius, at 2 billion degrees that's negligible. So the question is, have YOU studied physics???

I do iveraja. By far this is the subject that should be garnering the most comment. The world approaches, or may already have passed the point of peak oil production. The U.S. consumes the most oil by far in relation to our population. We need new energy, and we needed it yesterday. We can figure out the semantics and finer details of how hot HOT really was during these experiments with the z-machine later. How can we make use of the fact that more energy came out than what went in?????

Getting more energy out of a system than you put in goes against the tenants of modern physics. Either this means that the most important word in the phrase was 'expected kinetic imput', energy is coming from else where or energy is being created. Except in the first instance, it does seem a very good form of energy production.

you refer to the Rankine scale, that's the farenheit analog of Kelvin. 0 Celsius (0°C) = 491.67 Rankine (°R), 100°C = 671.67°R, but no-one uses it anymore.
there's another scale, not used nowadays: the Réaumur scale, which takes for zero the melting point of ice (like Celsius scale), and fix to 80 degrees the boiling point of water. Réaumur degrees are indicated with °R too.

I wonder how did they do to manage the incredibly huge amount of X-Ray radiation? and, how did materials in that Z machine survive to such elevated temperature?
The fact that scientists didn't expect to reach that temperature makes me think about those questions above

There are super heavy nuclei being formed in large numbers.
Hyper-condensation of matter, conversion to antimatter per W. Greiner's
deep potential wells and "nuclear islands of stability".
Simple Xref/Auger and Mass Spec would confirm this.
However, I've been told they don't do this "Because this is a physics experiment".
Bummer..

It is not the government's business to find a new energy source. They did not find, develop or maintain the fossil fuel economy we now use. They only take the tax money and steal royalty money. It is strange that there a very many companies making a greater profit, a greater return on investment, than the petroleum industry but petroleum is the industry that is somehow obscene. If there is an economically competitive energy source out there, it will not need government aid to get it up and running. Most money is in the private sector, not the government sector. Take responisblity and do something about it instead of waiting for THEM. You will die before they can decide a course.
I'm being nonbiased here.
I think this reason, is that other sources of drain, on the pattern of time and space, might be incurrent here.
In other words, what one might be doing with this new form of energy system, is distorting the pattern of time and space itself.
The actions imposed by this machine, might be portent in collapsing large segments of time and space itself, however is not seen as a problem at this time?

Besides its' high melting point tungsten has a very high density and high Z
(number of protons and neutrons). X ray machines bombard tungsten with high energy electrons to produce X rays. Those same properties make it suitable to use in Z machine fusion devices as megawatt X ray sources.

YES, this makes fusion viable. Even a new kind : at this temperature, aneutronic reactions are available like Bore-hydrogen, without radioactive waste.
Indeed, there is a US program on this at Sandia: Z-IFE
BUT, there are also are military implications : The Z machine discovery shows the military how to initiate a Thermonuclear bomb without using a fission bomb, thus enabling to make smaller and non-radioactive nuclear bombs.
What do you think the "Reliable Replacement Warhead" program really is ? From now on, be prepared for secret and disinformation on this subject.
The trouble with the Z machine is that it is the only machine in the world powerful enough to make this kind of experimentation.
In France, a petition is about to be launched to ask for european research in this field, on a strict civilian basis. z-machine.net You are welcome to sign it.

Wow, these capabilities are somewhat scary considering the fact that we are going to use this for a weapon and nothing else. This is determined so by our current administration that continues to seek end of days.
Lets put a bunch of Z-machines in satalites and let them circle the globe...unmanned, and controlled by computer over some super secure connection. If that doesn't scare you....I dont know what will.

Does anyone know about the story of John Titor? He talked about the z machine being the start of time travel.
Laser And Z machine Fusion- Nanotechnology Product R&D
to visit our webpage click this link Navigate to Vulvox Laser and Z machine fusion
Vulvox Nano/biotechnology Corporation has designed novel nanotextured z machine targets that will enable a much greater rate of fusion than conventional solid tungsten wire which is used to generate x-rays and the z pinch effect. The targets will be useful as simulators of nuclear explosions. They will be capable of generation of fusion energy and neutrons to irradiate atomic waste and transmute it into harmless isotopes, and in neutron spectroscopy applications. Smaller pulsed power devices might be useful in scanning trucks and containerized cargo boxes with neutrons to prevent smuggling of nuclear weapons into the country. The targets will be tested to determine rate of x-ray generation, neutron generation, and fusion products and total energy released by the targets. Vulvox also has plans on the drawing board to develop novel nanotextured laser fusion pellets that will absorb much greater amounts of light and that will undergo fusion reactions by 38,000 times the rate of conventional laser fusion pellets.
At present, it takes an hour to arrange a shot of one fusion pellet at the Sandia Laboratory NIF laser fusion facility. If fusion were sped up to the rate we anticipate, 38,000 shots per hour might be possible, resulting in a practical source of energy.
National security goals of Department of Energy and the Departments of Defense and the National Nuclear Security Agency will be promoted by use of the nanotextured solenoids to simulate thermonuclear explosions and devices and by nanotextured laser fusion pellets.
The goals of the Department of Energy to increase the nation’s energy supply and energy self sufficiency will be met by the nanotextured targets. The President has announced plans to mitigate the greenhouse effect by increased use of nuclear power plants that do not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Conventional fission reactors generate big amounts of nuclear waste but the z-machine fusion process will generate nonradioactive 2He4 and neutrons that will be absorbed by lithium blankets. The tritium produced in that reaction will be recycled and used as fuel in z-machine fusion reactors, thus the reactors will not add to the radioactive waste problem.
After the target design and nanotextured laser pellet designs are perfected, Vulvox Nano/biotechnology Corporation will manufacture and sell the targets and associated systems as well as the laser pellets we have designed. Strategic alliances with other corporations will be sought, and the technology may be licensed to other corporations in the industry. Please contact us if you are interested in a partnership to develop these breakthrough technologies with Vulvox Nano/Biotechnology Corporation.
The z-machine target technology will be useful as a means of generating neutrons for fast neutron analysis of containerized cargo containers coming from foriegn countries. They can be used as flashbulbs to X ray trucks and containerized cargo off-loaded from ships to detect nuclear weapons smuggled aboard.
What does Zepher say about the effects of spacetime distortion, as probably made by the z machines?

Nobody has observed space time distortionj at the z machine facility despite the thousands of shots they have done.,

I wonder if they tried different conditions of firing the z machine - i.e. in a clean room type environment (sans dust particles) or even in a vacuum.
I heard somewhere that the z machine is capable of unlocking time travel? Can anyone ellaborate on how this is possible? Sounds like a load to me!

They should investigate all possibilties especialy those that are plausible.
