Tokamak Energy is featured in a short 3 min 34 s news clip by Channel 4 from UK. You get to see their current lab and tokamak. General Fusion is also briefly mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQjlsftLp5Q

Tri Alpha Energy has a nice website with a wealth of papers and talks http://www.trialphaenergy.com/.

Many thanks Joe for running Talk Polywell and for getting it back up again!

The points raised by Bob Hirsch are of course well known and valid, but this time he does a bit of exaggeration. The event at the LHC in 2008 was due to inadequate quality control on the resistivity of the electrical interconnects between the superconducting magnets. From that event one can only con...

PPPL has published a week long Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship Introductory Course in Plasma Physics. The slides and corresponding videos of fifteen lectures are available here http://w3.pppl.gov/scied/summer2015/course/.

It seems that GF is rather active currently on giving talks on various forums. University of California Berkeley ANS General Meeting: General Fusion Speaker American Nuclear Society Event Time and Date Thursday, October 15 2015, 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM We will be hosting the CEO from General Fusion as ou...

Neutron counts is a method of measuring fusion, but it tells you little about the parameters that may be of most interest to a plasma physicist. Things like density, voltage, potential well depth measurements with probes, etc.. are used to model a system. Neutron counts from D-D or D-T fusion are d...

Anyone hear anything more about Sandia Labs Z Pinch, there was talk of a breakeven shot a year or two back? The only news I have noticed is in this post http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5556#p122219 . There are quite a few talks on MagLIF at the upcoming 57th Annual Meeting of th...

The situation is quite interesting indeed. One should not forget that EMC2 has been funded by the Navy in 2014 and 2015, but the results in the recent PRX paper were actually from 2013. Getting new funding is obviously a top priority for EMC2, but still they have had two years to work with their cur...

Tokamak Energy is working on their PR activities, which is of crucial importance in order to be able to collect investor funding. http://www.gorkana.com/news/consumer/pitch-wins/tokamak-energy-appoints-proof-communication-for-fusion-energy-brief/ ‘Renegade’ UK physicists say they’re on fast track to...

http://images.onset.freedom.com/ocregister/nucecz-08.fusion.0903.mm.jpg Here is an article on Tri Alpha Energy with some nice photographs like the one above, Tri Alpha Energy takes small step toward huge goal of fusion reactor by Aaron Orlowski. The article has more details on TAE than most of the ...

Michael S. Fischer interviews Jaeyoung Park in the article Fusion: Are We There Yet? and discusses funding of private fusion enterprises. The Investment EMC2 is seeking private investment for a three-year, $30 million commercial research program to prove the polywell can work as a nuclear fusion pow...

David Kingham of Tokamak Energy has written a nice article called The case for fusion energy . The spherical tokamak has two big advantages: Being a squashed-up version of the tokamak it is inherently compact. Additionally, it uses the magnetic field more efficiently. Its limitation has always been ...
