Plasma Corporation, another Fusion proposal

Dear Folks,

Below is a post sent by Scott Von Thomas,another plasma fusion player. I am researhing him more and will update when I find out more. Anyone interested in viewing his design patents please e-mail me. I'm sending this post off to Paul Koloc and Clint Seward for their rebuttles, will post it when I get it.

see ya, Erich


"Erich,
Attached is one of my design patents for a fusion engine using plasma arc technology, but keep in mind that this is only a sample. My other reactor designs are much more sophisticated. I've also completed designs for a deep space vehicle with an advanced propulsion system, and I've developed a way to confine anti-matter. In addition, I'm working on some applications for nano-technology including some advanced ways to create nanites. My interest runs the gamut.

Before I founded my company, I designed plasma processes for some of the world's most advanced chip sets. I've worked with IBM, Toshiba, Intel, AMD, Analog Devices, Semens & Infinion. I've also been working on a more concise theory to explain the interactions of matter. I intent to write a book at some point, but not until I'm finished with this project.

I'm willing to work with others to see the commercialization of fusion technology, but I'm not willing to give my ideas away. Keep in mind that companies very rarely disclose proprietary technology to their shareholders, they usually only provide their business plans.

And in terms of the EPS and Paul Koloc's patent, the technology is not really an original design. I worked will Dr. Wells at the University of Miami in 1992 when he was working on colliding spheromaks and there is a patent issued from Princeton University which clearly gives them the ownership. I'd be surprised if their patent claims did not cover Paul Koloc's intent. He should probably anticipate a legal challenge.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Scott von Thomas

Scott:

Bell did amazing things before and after his telephone, in other words, show me your track record. How do you expect potential investors to have any confidence?

EPS has solid patents, Paul Koloc's LAWYERS put up the money for his patent application for http://www.prometheus2.net/ .

To maintain my interest ,or investment, you gotta give me some kinda bone to chew on.

Erich"

My personal opinion is this guy is a scammer-- he theoretically has his hands in every potential field (plasma technologies, fusion engines, deep space craft), yet I see nothing on the net outside his self-founded corporation-- he hasn't published anything available in the public domain outside of PR for his four-year-old company.

As far as I'm concerned, Scott von Thomas and his Plasma Corporation are a money sink.

I'm with you on this, Dngrsone...until I see him covered for real in the news or something, I'm not going to believe it.

On the other hand, I might still go back and give this thread a careful read-through. Judging from what I gleaned from a quick skim, I ought to be able to get a halfway decent science fiction story out of it.

Yep, I google scholared him and nothing.
I posted him for permission to post his design patent he sent me after much badggering about nothing being on his web page:

"Erich,
For the time being, please keep the technology confidential. We are still waiting for patent approval and it's important not to publish technology before receiving a patent. Thanks.
Regards,
Scott von Thomas

hey Scott,

Now that's showing me something!

Have you seen this on anti-matter: Air Force pursuing antimatter weapons / http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/10/04/MNGM393GPK1.DTL

In regards to nano-tech did you check out Rodney T. Cox of http://www.powerchips.gi/. And especially his speech to IBM:
http://www.borealis.gi/press/NEW-GOLDEN-AGE-IBM.Speech.6=04.pdf
I think in the near term, and far (short of a fusion break through) this quantum tunneling thermocouple and other nano-tech applications to PV cells will rule the market.

May I post your Design on my Physics forums sites? I've had over 5000 viewings and several retired nuke-engineers have helped me review such technology.

Regards,

Erich J. Knight"

Clint Sewart of EPS said this:
Hi Erich,

I do not know of this guy, and his analysis shows he has not read the paper, nor the work by Wells. He does not want to get involved, so you probably should leave it at that.

Dear Clint and Paul:

Do you all know of this guy? I google scholared him and got nothing.


His web site is very evasive and after several posts with him he finally sent this post.





Hello Erich,
I read Chen's paper on stability, but there is a big difference between a cold, high density electron spiral toroid and a hot, high density plasma formed by two colliding electron spiral toroids. Several issues need to be addressed such as magnetic recombination, plasma turbulence and the stability of the colliding toroids.
To answer your question about Clint Seward, I'm not sure I want to get involved. I believe this approach will not work for a variety of reasons, and he needs to find that out for himself. Unless he is open to other more advanced approaches, I'm not sure I can help.
Good luck.
Regards,
Scott von Thomas

Dear Mr. Von Thomas,
Thank you so much for your reply.
So Chen's paper does not convince you of the stability requirements ?
Equilibrium and Stability Properties of Self-Organized Electron Spiral Toroids

On your other points, may I share your responce with Clint Seward for his rebuttle of your concerns?

Erich"


Thats all I got for now folks, Erich
