As someone who knows quite a bit about physics, this isn't very revolutionary:
The Farnsworth–Hirsch Fusor - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusor
This type of fusion reactor has been in labs for over 40 years.
Dr. Robert Bussard gave a lecture a few days ago claiming to have designed a practical reactor which is a refinement on this design, which could be build in a few years - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1996321846673788606 ( 92 minute video )
Is this the same gentleman of Bussard Ramscoop fame?
