The German stellarator has been very successful - so much so, they upgraded the device. An excellent article can be read here:
https://phys.org/news/2017-09-wendelste ... ation.html
As some of you may recall, my daughter Jeannette worked the summer on that device in Germany (solving an issue with the divertor; a device that has grown in importance for successful fusion and the 7-X device is being upgraded to focus on that issue.) Jeannette graduates from MIT with her physics degree this spring and is considering returning to do a masters on the Wendelstein (German programs require a master before the PhD.) They invited her to return.
Richard, she has a few months to decide but I am still glad how you provided her the opportunity to see fusion for real at your meeting relative to fusors.

This forum is for other possible methods for fusion such as Sonolumenescense, Cold Fusion, CANR/LENR or accelerator fusion. It should contain all theory, discussions and even construction and URLs related to "other than fusor, fusion".
