I've read a bit of the discussions here and I must say that if we put our minds together, we can lick this fusion energy problem.

I have read Farnsworth's Chronicles and must say that all of this is very fascinating. What we want to do here is control what happens in a hydrogen bomb. Our star in a jar must be contained and controlled. I have a Chemical Engineering degree, but a background in nuclear (I used to work and live in Oak Ridge, TN) and environmental engineering. This device we build could very well solve the energy crisis and bring us into the Energy Age.

I'm sure many corporations will not like what we do. Even the DOE is shortsighted and considers much of this as "junk science." They are steeped in bureaucracy and politics, trying to make ends meet with a reduced budget. They have yet to solve contamination problems or set national standards on the free release and limited release of radioactively contaminated items. Rising costs and ever changing standards has crippled nuclear power in the US. France manages their power well, with nuclear power in the lead. In fact, they effectively utilize US technology to enrich their uranium for their reactors.

It was the early experimenters and inventors such as daVinci, Galileo, Hertz, Maxwell, Crookes, Tesla, and a host of others that delved into the mysteries of the universe and gave us a technical foundation upon which to build. We are at the brink of a new discovery, when mankind and nature come together in a union to safely and effectively harness the power of the atom. Keep up the great work, stay focused and record all results and even anomalies, and I'm sure we will be on the cusp of a new power source. I believe we all have the "keys" required to build an effective fusor model. All we have to do is promote the free exchange of ideas here in this forum.
