Fusion Research Treaty
I don't believe there is one actually. In 1958, there was the Treaty of Rome that created EurAtom, and that same year Eisenhower unilaterally declared Atoms for Peace, which declassified magnetic fusion research. There has been cooperation and sharing since then, even bileteral agreements, but I can...

I've always known that Polywells to date have generated huge volumes of contaminant gas, mostly hydrogen. Since this probably came from metal surfaces being hit by high-energy particles, and the surfaces acquired a "cooked" appearance, solving it was vital, probably the essential missing link to go...

That pdf mag is dated 2008. Set the wayback clock to 2008. This is WB-7. I recall there were some initial issues, arcing I thought. Ok, so the high speed camera diagnostics tracked down the problem. The part I don't understand is the spectral analysis of the impurities. What was that all about? In ...

Of note on the EMC2 site, Dr. B's email has been replaced with Rick's. And it is Rick@emc2fusion.com vice .org.

@ 98% uptime, that's not good enough for a tier 1 datacenter. In fact, it appears that Google used Bloom Box to power parts of their Mountain View Ca campus, not their data center. http://blogs.forrester.com/it_infrastructure/2010/02/a-bloom-box-powering-the-data-center-hold-your-horses.html Now if ...
