Fusion power

Anybody follow any of this?

I know.. it's been 20 years away for the last 50 years.. but I honestly believe we are on the cusp of it after all these years. FINALLY!

Who is your money on? There are a few different approaches that look very promising, and I'm not talking about ITER, either. Things like Focus Fusion and 'Magrid' approaches..

From what I can tell, Dr. Bussards old team at EMC2 will have the first working demo. They are funded by the Navy who has a very good panel of scientists, and they keep giving this team more and more money.. which only tells me and everyone else that the results they are getting are positive.

Anybody ever build their own Farnsworth Fusor or seen one in action?

Umm, where exactly is the new material here? Thiago’s fusor was all over the news (I think it was even on had) last year, and I know that Richard’s fusor-iii was on here from a long time ago (he built it in the 90s). The only new project is his fusor-iv is still in the parts gathering phase…
But regardless, fusors are quite impressive little toys. Congrats to all of you that actually got neutrons!
