As a response to a FAQ, the current answer is:

Polywell is worked on primarily by EMC2 FUSION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION a non profit entity. They currently have contracts to develop the polywell for the United States Navy presumably for navel power plants.

This is not correct, is it? I was under the impression that the work is, and basically always was, being done by EMC2 Inc., a FOR profit engineering development company with Navy (and other) research contracts. EMC2 FUSION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION is just a funding shell to receive money from that New Mexico Community Foundation and produce contracts with EMC2 Inc. Does anyone know for sure? With sources?

Thanks

Polywell is worked on solely by EMC2 FUSION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION . They currently have contracts to develop the polywell for the United States Navy presumably for navel power plants

We talked about this at the NASA forums. The New Mexico Community Foundation offered Bussard a way to get contributions, nothing more. This was done as a favor to circumvent certain legal limitations.

Tom and Simon remember.

Roger is correct.

I guess I didn't ask my question clearly.

From what I have seen, there are two organizations, one called EMC2 Inc, and one called EMC2 Fusion Development Corp. The one with the short name seems to be the basic company, the one that the Navy has contracts with. The long name one seems to be solely tied into the NMCF as a means to obtain tax exempt contributions for research purposes. Is this assessment correct?
