If proven, Polywell device may become an attractive fusion reactor due to the following attributes ... confinement by electric fusion Polywell will not work with a charged Magrid. This was proven by ...

A while ago I was linked this presentation to Google by a very charismatic Bussard about a different type of fusion reactor, the Polywell reactor. The Wiki article gives a nice overview of its ...

What he’s doing is building a Bussard Polywell fusion reactor. Dr. Robert W ... Bussard created a magnetic grid, or magrid, out of a box constructed of electromagnetic loops.

“After 18 test devices, EMC2 is now down to one specific design of Polywell reactor,” he wrote in an email. “Either it works or it does not. We will find out in three years.” If it ...

He was working on nuclear fusion (hot plasma). Work on his “Fusor” reactor design continues with the Polywell reactor, but remains 20-plus years in the future. It is irresponsible for Don to ...

The discussion at Talk Polywell on the physics of the prototype fusion reactors and possible ways to improve it are very interesting. Brian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science ...

The division had settled on magnetic confinement as its mainline fusion program, but Bussard saw more promise in a fusion reactor he called a polywell (a combination of polyhedron and potential ...

In EMC2 Fusion's case, that means finding roughly $30 million for a demonstration reactor that shows how its Polywell concept could scale up to a net energy gain, and eventually commercial-scale ...

He acknowledged that EMC2 Fusion hasn't yet determined whether or not a working Polywell fusion reactor is feasible — but at the age of 82, he's counting on Park to get the answer to that ...

Superconducting coils generate a new magnetic-field geometry for the CFR based on a combination of properties from previous reactor designs, such as the Polywell reactor, which uses a negative ...

Another thing Suppes had going for him was the capability to design and 3D print heat resistant parts in the complex geometry needed for the Polywell ... fission reactor in his backyard using ...
