This means the world to me. In the age we live in, mountains can be moved in increments of $5.00. Keep it coming!

Prometheus Fusion Perfection 
Two things you might think about regarding your request for funds. First, ALWAYS name the goal and what you can achieve with it. Second, allow a pledge like “I will donate $1000.00 if XYZ happens”.
What’s the goal?
The truth is, I wasn’t going to set this goal until AFTER I’d built and tested the first core. But this first donation brings it up.
I think the goal should be:
$15,000 for enough superconducting cable to match the WB6’s B-field strength, but with constant operation (or much closer to it).
The 13 Meters of superconducting cable shipped from germany a few days ago. From there I will attempt to complete a fully functional Bussard reactor.
I think I have funds enough for this first attempt at the superconducting core. If I can demonstrate a working superconducting prototype with the parts I’m assembling now… even with a tiny B-field. That would really be something.
If I can build that, and demonstrate it. I think it would be pretty easy to drum up $15K. I’ve raised that many times over in my career for much less promising projects.
What do you think would be a good pledge?
I’d be more comfortable using paypal directly. I was a bit confused by the Pledgie page – what pledge am I supposed to make? What’s the advantage of using Pledgie over paypal? Is it some kind of service for making a donation only if some goal amount is collected? If so, why isn’t the goal amount visible anywhere?
I can add a direct paypal link too. No problem.
done.
