Wear it! Or just be very open in communicating the latest with the rest of the scientific community, and the willingness of the focus fusion team to collaborate and inclusively expand. Focus fusion would greatly benefit from more visiting scientists or graduate students working on the project, and even visits to the lab or phone/email consultations could provide invaluable insight into ongoing challenges.

Let’s imagine another lab might have a new kind of neutron detector and the FoFu-1 experiment would be a perfect venue to compare its performance relative to our current silver activation and bubble instruments. Or a group working on advanced materials for the Iter walls could do some testing with FoFu-1 just by exposing their material within the vacuum chamber during a few shots.

Get a talk on focus fusion scheduled as part of their university’s plasma physics seminar series; get them interested in looking at FoFu-1 data; or even get them eager to establish their own dense plasma focus lab just to try and prove focus fusion infeasible–Failing to falsify is sorta like proving! ;-D And the goal is to soon have a result from FoFu-1 that many labs will be want to replicate. Science will decide.

Oh, and have an awesome and educational time at the conference and in beautiful Cordoba!
