Re: [Vo]:Brillouin Energy Corp demonstration at ICCF-24
Thanks old Beene. I haven't read that one. Notice Chevron is also an investor and Norman is their 5th generation reactor vessel. Cheers!

Terry Here is a little better coverage https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/30/photos-inside-tae-technologies-lab-and-nuclear-fusion-machine.html Were it not for Google being involved, however, it would probably be yet another "meh" hot fusion effort - perpetually thirty years away... BUT hydrogen-boron does avoid Krivit's main observation that anything requiring tritium to operate is dead in the water. Too bad that Norront Fusion went under. They seemed to have a solution that avoided most of the problems. Hey - maybe Norman can add muon assist. and get rid of some of that weird hardware ???

However the COP of a heat pump sometimes/often exceeds 2.7, so it's debatable how useful this device will be by comparison. If no one clicked on ads companies would stop paying for them. :)

Perhaps you mean "significant gain" or "gain enough for practical or economic use." I think Steve Krivit and some others say that a gain has to be 1 or above or it does not count. Unless you get out 2 W for every 1 W of input, it isn't a "gain" by their standards. Some people call the gain the "COP," but I think that is technically inaccurate. That means "coefficient of production." As far as I know it only applies to heat pumps. They do not create any energy, as I am sure everyone here understands.

Re: [Vo]:Brillouin Energy Corp demonstration at ICCF-24
I think they are now claiming an electrical -thermal COP of 2.7.

Re: [Vo]:Brillouin Energy Corp demonstration at ICCF-24
Can anyone comment on the reality of the Brillouin "breakthrough" claim ? For many years they have claimed modest COP but nothing commercializable Can they now demonstrate net real gain?
