3. The Polywell Fusion Experiment at the Energy Matter Conversion Corp. (EMC2). Polywell fusion is an innovative confinement concept for fusion energy that utilizes a combination of electrostatic plasma confinement (of ions) and 3D magnetic cusp confinement (of electrons). Our group is fielding millimeter wave diagnostics of plasma density.

But didn't EMC2 move to China Lake or someplace?

Isn't this just a rehash of the report from the government of New Mexico where they got the Los Alamos Federal labs to do some diagnostics?

Or maybe not - that was high speed video.

Tom Ligon was into microwave diagnostics. He might have a word or two on the subject.

very tenuous connection, one of the new first year grad students here at U of iowa got her EE degree at UNM, could see if she recognizes him.
