I really wonder why none thought about doing it earlier. The only problem (as with all most designs) is making it energy efficient.

It seems to be a colliding beam reactor, and I found something dating back to 1997: http://news.ufl.edu/1997/11/20/fusion/
The NZ Herald article does not give any details like names of the researchers or a reference to a publication.
Most likely it’s just news popping up and resouped.

Monkhorst is supposedly the designer of the Tri-Alpha system, so I assume that’s the same thing.  They’ve had $40M to play with for a while.
