Bussard’s Polywell Fusion Passes a Major Test
Jaeyoung Park and the team at Energy Matter Conversion Corporation (EMC2) have released a research paper (with videos) discussing the results from a scaled down version of the late Dr. Robert Bussard’s famous wiffleball method of seeking a viable net energy fusion reactor.
The earlier wiffleballs leaked so much that the reactor couldn’t ever get to producing more power out than went in. But Dr. Bussard’s results encouraged many to offer that with enough energy and pressure against the magnetic field a sharp boundary would form between the magnetic fields and the plasma – so cutting the losses. What the paper reports is validation of the boundary forming, which shows critical progress toward a polywell fusion reactor.
