Yes the internet has come along way since its conception by one man.Internet. The WWW is just one application running on top of the internet backbone. There is also email, usenet, gopher, FTP, remote shells, X11, and a whole bunch more than http running over the internet protocol.
Not sure what it has to do with Helion, or how they are going to get rid of 40 cc of rock vaporized every second. That is going to generate quite a flow of rock vapor every second.So - how bout that amazing plasma torch drill that could get down to geothermal energy at any coal fired power plant on the planet and replace the coal with steam from 12 km down hey?
Berners-Lee did not conceptualize the internet. He devised an application (HTTP) that ran on the TCP/IP protocol. He had nothing to do with creating other application on the internet such as rsh (later placed with ssh), ftp, smtp, and irc. All of which predate Berners-Lee's http. The internet wasn't created to display web pages, it was created for remote computer logins and data transfers. (That reminds me, I have some stuff to do...)Yes the internet has come along way since its conception by one man.
Do you have the capacity to accept a mistake and change your mind?
That's true two guys worked on creating network to networks which is the beginning of the internet in 1983. But today's internet we are using is nothing like that. Though yes both of our devices are connected via tcp protocol but the difference is the ability to endlessly search the internet.Berners-Lee did not conceptualize the internet.

Just pointing out that spin off technologies from the overall hunt for fusion (not Helion specifically) have possibly handed us another energy solution. We'll probably know in a year or so whether this is economical.Not sure what it has to do with Helion, or how they are going to get rid of 40 cc of rock vaporized every second.

Not to endlessly search the internet, to endlessly search the www. Some of us use the internet to do real work that never touches the http protocol.That's true two guys worked on creating network to networks which is the beginning of the internet in 1983.

Web /= internetI quoted a poster about today's internet like this site www. displays web pages.
Can you give some quick details?Just pointing out that spin off technologies from the overall hunt for fusion (not Helion specifically) have possibly handed us another energy solution. We'll probably know in a year or so whether this is economical.
PS: The vaporised rock is awesome - as it must gas out the top. It drills SLOWLY but consistently. It's the tortoise and the hare. As the process outgases rock with no actual drill bit, it can just continue to work slowly and consistently. It avoids the much faster initial drilling process which as you get deeper can hit heats that melt the drill bit in 5 hours - meaning it then takes 10 days to withdraw and replace the drill bit and send it back down again.
It also leaves a beautiful smooth glass tube going all the way down - perfect for a geothermal pipe.
IF this thing can be economic - all existing coal infrastructure can be converted to geothermal - anywhere on the planet.
Haha who says I'm going to search the www. That's hilarious.Not to endlessly search the internet, to endlessly search the www. Some of us use the internet to do real work that never touches the http protocol.

You do a disservice to your arguments by incorporating nonsense statements within them. Remarks such as these undermine any confidence in the rest of the post.It avoids the much faster initial drilling process which as you get deeper can hit heats that melt the drill bit in 5 hours - meaning it then takes 10 days to withdraw and replace the drill bit and send it back down again.
Thanks - sorry about that and I cannot remember where I heard it. The video I referenced said "dull" the drill in hours - not melt. I'm often given to hyperbole - so it may have been my writing style on the day or I remembered something wrong? Anyway - nice post. Do you do some kind of work in geology or mining?You do a disservice to your arguments by incorporating nonsense statements within them.

Drill bits may suffer various forms of wear and damage. The closest that one comes to melting would be thermal cracking of the surface of the steel bit body, but this is primarily a consequence of frictional heating. Frictional heating is also a major factor in failure of the bit cutting structure, whether of tungsten carbide inserts on old-style roller cone bits, or diamond layer of PDC cutters on modern bits. However thermal degradation of the diamond layer is quite different from melting.
- Drill bits do not "melt in 5 hours".
- Drill bits do not melt.
- It does not take ten days to complete a round trip (unless you've selected a rig whose hoisting apparatus is powered by donkeys, or have used some other inefficient, unconventional approach).
