richard Dell interview -claims space propulsion breakthrough

[TallDave]

It's interesting so many fusion concepts seem to going strong right now. Odds are getting better one of them will pan out.

I'm very skeptical of Dell's claims, but even getting Q>1 would be impressive. I suspect confinement will be lacking, though.

We have been working with him for the past four years, and we hold him in the highest regard. We have an extraordinary working relationship with him, and now that Bussard has passed away, Dr. Miley needs to be the pivotal figure for aneutronic fusion propulsion research.

That's interesting. Makes it sound like a Polywell variant.
