I believe Dr. Laverentiev had proposed a similar idea in one of his papers.

Having friends involved in, and having signed non-disclousre agreements with the Bussard effort, you can't imagine how low a profile they were trying to maintain. I would be stunned to find that they are publishing useful info anywhere on the WWW! I would think, if successful, they will reveal all at some point in the future "don't know where don't know when", as the old song goes.
