As for being "completely overruled" - not quite true, Jones. I recall posting my own my personal thoughts on the idea that the reactor could be designed in the shape of a toroid. I certainly never "overruled" the toroid shape. Makes sense to me. I also wasn't initially aware of the fact that Ed Storms had apparently come up with the same concept, and no doubt before I had. It certainly wasn't a collaborative effort on my part. I still think a toroid reactor design makes the most sense. How can one heat a heater much above 100 c if the conductive heat has to pass through water first. Not going to happen. With that said, I offer my own disclaimer: Ed Storms obviously knows a lot more about what's possibly going on here that I. I feel like I was just shooting in the dark, and got lucky for once!
