Still, very inspiring. We have a better product, we just need better marketing – to polish our act and take it on the road so to speak. And we’re doing that now, with, among other things, random unnamed people in Australia raising the issue in a clear and eloquent way. He explained it well in that short time.

What can I say, I’m happy to help!

I also mentioned Focus Fusion when I appeared before an Australian Senate committee.

“It has come to my attention�I am an engineer by training�that there are technologies such as focus fusion, which basically involves a relatively small-scale production of energy, costing in the range of tens of millions to establish. It has no neutron production, so there is less radioactivity or no radioactivity. It has a very high conversion efficiency to electricity. The reason why it may not have been picked up is that it is only a recently researched concept. It has been researched in university laboratories in the United States and Chile. NASA has shown interest in the concept.”

Alex;
Your committee paper link gives the following error: “Unfortunately ParlInfo Web was unable to open the the document you have selected.

Do you have another link?

I don’t know if you want to get involved, but I stumbled on this site: http://www.fusor.net/board/index.php?&site=fusor of some long-time table-top and amateur fusion experimenters (notably Richard Hull), who have some decades of experience with “fusors” and Bussard’s ideas and inspiration, etc. They are very impatient and dismissive of FF and Lawrenceville, and I may already be over my head — but nothing ventured …. 😉
