This is cool stuff. If these dudes would hire me I'd hitchhike out there in a heartbeat. I talked to somebody a few months back who was researching plasma density localization via oscillating B-fields...

So, we can begin to see gas prices fall at the pump soon?
To: vannrox
So this will work to compact and excite deuterium, producing fusion reaction?
How much radiation is released?

Sounds alot like the 2 stage H-bombs of the early 60's.
They also used heated foam to generate X-rays to compress Deuterium. Interesting!

That's actually a common misperception.
The foam didn't react appreciably--it was used because it was relatively transparent to X-Rays, but could be cut easily into whatever shape was necessary to support the components and keep them aligned.

I thought Lyndon LaRouche's scientist friends licked the fusion problem in 1985? Someone should have told Sandia physicists huh?

Time to but stock in deuterium, much like I enjoyed that brief palladium up-spike in 1981. Somehow history keeps repeating itself.
When I can run my chainsaw on it.....I'll buy the idea.

No, they just designed an X-Ray laser for his personal doomsday weapon :o)

No, those scientists featured in Fusion were legitimate. The reporting of their research was used by LL in Fusion to legitimize and push his agenda. He did the same thing with the strategic defense initiative. I read about it first in Fusion.
I remember once seeing a photo published in Fusion of a Fusion employee that supposedly taken with a particular fusion scientist at some function. The LL Fusion employee was standing there grinning at the camera and the scientist had a really surprised look like, "Who the hell is this person standing next to me getting her picture taken?" It was obviously not a photograph of a couple of people who knew each other and were talking. For some reason I think the woman's name was Marsha. I remember writing to her and saying that I enjoyed reading about developments around the world in fusion, but that I thought LL's approach to the economy was rather dirigiste. She replied in a somewhat hysterical tone asking me why I said that.
