An interview with Stephen O. Dean is available at the links below. Dr. Dean has a fusion advocacy organization called Fusion Power Associates. He has the perspective obtained from 50 years in fusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXE-oWugfiA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6CTWzdU19E Actually ther...

There is a book on IEC: Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) Fusion: Fundamentals and Applications by George H. Miley and S. Krupakar Murali that will be published on the 26th of December 2013. http://www.amazon.com/Inertial-Electrostatic-Confinement-IEC-Fusion/dp/1461493374/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&q...

I found two talks from General Fusion, one from 2012 and one from 2011 from the webpage of Fusion Power Associates http://fire.pppl.gov/fpa_annual_meet.html Update on Progress at General Fusion – Doug Richardson, GF http://fire.pppl.gov/FPA12_Richardson_GF.pdf Research Program at General Fusion – Mi...

General Fusion will attend the upcoming conference Future of Nuclear 2013 and there is a post about them on the webpage which contains an animation about the General Fusion device. http://futureofnuclear.com/michael-delage-and-general-fusion-at-future-of-nuclear-2013/ The agenda of the conference lo...

The initial list of participants has been published on the website.

crowberry, re: "There is information sharing within the physics community and within the general public. Tri Alpha Energy does seem to report currently to the physics community quite openly on their activities." Thanks for those links. Any idea if there is status insight in the scientific papers to...

I read through the patent application. I think that the nautilus compressor looks like a rather promising device. First they make a hot and dense enough compact toroid (CT) plasma that is injected into the nautilus compressor with a high speed (about c/10 in the video). As the CT moves down the spir...

We seem to see large variability in public information on fusion project status. Tri-Alpha seems to run a news black out philosophy, General Fusion gives us really good insight into their progress, "General Fusion on Track for Demonstration of Net Gain Equivalent Plasma Compression this year" May 2...

That video is interesting, but does not add a whole lot of new information. They make it sound like they have already achieved everything they are selling. If so that would be a scientific sensation. But... noone is talking about it. So why isnt there a paper in nature yet? The history of fusion re...

Does anyone else find themselves becoming disillusioned over the whole alternative energy field? Polywell, General Fusion, Tri Alpha, LPP, LENR, solar, hydrogen, NIF, thorium... blah blah blah. We just keep hearing about them and then they seem fade away again. Never anything concrete demonstrated....

Sorlox has a 6 min 17 s video on their homepage showing a simulation of their device, but without a description of how it works. http://www.sorlox.com/company.html The spiral design is to get a compact size of the device. The same video has been uploaded on Youtube on the 20th of August: http://www....
