OK, so I can now answer this question:
Cuicui wrote:[...] You, as a person, what do you think of the prospects that suggest the technique of magnetic necking (compression)?

I think it is indeed promising and that we should be interested in it ...
But from this point of view, I am rather optimistic, I think our leaders have understood that we could no longer afford to miss out on a hopeful solution and I therefore imagine that the results of Sandia were surely followed very closely by the people concerned by this type of solution ...

The problem is that those who have invested in oil, uranium nuclear power, the ITER project ... want profits and not hopeful solutions. We are governed by financiers, not philanthropists. Everyone had the opportunity to notice. The astonishing silence of the mainstream press (also controlled by finance) makes me pessimistic. The Sandia affair (which took everyone short, the financiers hate it) is certainly very closely followed to stifle or delay it as much as possible. Perhaps by spreading the news all over the internet we will be able to force their hand, especially if we can encourage election candidates to position themselves on the case. I am aware of the annoying nature of my interventions (what do the other members of this forum ?). It doesn't amuse me, but how else? Who has an idea ?

There I believe that you are dreaming awake cuicui; You can imagine the number of subjects they have to deal with in order to win these elections, just to sign N. Hulot's "pact" and to apply it, that would already be enormous.

No one is asking the question of long-lived nuclear waste; the only concern is to "pretend" not to send too much CO2 into the atmosphere and to swing a new pollution standard every 4 or 5 years to please public opinion sensitive to the problem (because I can you tell you that there are a lot of people who care more about what they are going to eat tomorrow and where they are going to stay .... then the rest is for the worries of the rich !!!).

Do you update your post on the Z-Machine regularly?
I imagine that here, it is you who is the most aware so it is through you that all the info can reappear on this forum, if possible on a dedicated post ... : Wink:

Did you try to tell Jancovici about it? I wanted to do it at a conference of N Hulot but I did not have the floor ...

that's an excellent idea, because he has a lot of entries from his conferences and he supports nuclear as the only solution by comparing the low number of nuclear-induced deaths (for now) and diseases of all kinds, road accidents, ... etc see his site manicore and his book "Le plein SVP".

There it is I have 57 a few hours ...

Thank you, Jean63 (happy birthday!) And Bucheron for your answers.
Update my post? What is it exactly ? Resume the post "Iter and z-machine"? To update, it would be necessary to have new information, and only the site of JPP (which is not too well seen here) gives any. I prefer to intervene, with the drawbacks that you see, when it comes to nuclear power. Putting the matter back on the table is an opportunity to pass on the little information I have to a few people.
I like to tinker and understand, but I have no knowledge of computers, physics, auto mechanics (I have never opened an engine, and what the genius handymen who animate this site say, for me, c is often Chinese), and I only "know" about the z-machine what JPP, Xudhao, Tokamac, Ligérien, Slimounet and a few others want to put on the Net (forum Futura and Hardware in particular). Some detractors have ridiculed themselves, having so far not been screwed to align a valid argument, which makes me think that the file is solid.
The information should be disseminated to the general public, forcing the mainstream press to talk about it, and the election candidates, to position themselves if they do not want to lose votes. And that funds, even modest ones, be allocated so that competent researchers can clarify the z-machine affair, and study possible civil applications.
I'm going to contact Jancovici, it's a good idea, since he writes books and has access to the media. I do not know him and I do not know if he will take the matter into account, but I will try.

Thank you for the birthday, it's nice, thank you. :D

I registered on the forum from the N.Hulot ecological pact site and they talk about the Z-machine. I will try to find where, but I saw it with my own eyes.

In fact I went to see info on the HVB for diesel engines.

Thank you. But, you know, I posted on this forum, you risk finding a bit of my prose, it won't do us much. I don't know if the news went back to friend Nicolas. But, at least, I tried.
