Considering that the AWE field has now proven to have involved almost 100% crackpots - results, and especially lack thereof, are undeniable at this poiint. Not sure whether discussing the characteristics of tungsten at 2000 degrees C. could save it, but I’m not seeing how this could be relevant to the discussion. Brings us back to “really smart people” and, what was the term from Barnard, “amazing minds” or something to that effect? The problem with wind energy is, air is invisible so people (especially crackpots) can imagine the air doing whatever they want. Therefore, wind energy has always been, and continues to be, a magnet for crackpots. And airborne wind energy is a neodymium supermagnet!
