The late Dr. Robert Bussard (died October 2007), former Assistant Director of the AEC and founder of Energy Matter Conversion Corporation (EMC2), spent 17 years perfecting inertial electrostatic confinement, a fusion process that converts hydrogen and boron directly into electricity producing helium as the only waste product. Most of this work was funded by the Department of Defense, the details of which have been under seal... until now.
Dr. Bussard discusses his recent results and details of this potentially world-altering technology, whose conception dates back as far as 1924, and even includes a reactor design by Philo T. Farnsworth.
Can a 100 MW fusion reactor be built for less than Google's annual electricity bill? Come see what's possible when you think outside the thermonuclear box and ignore the herd.
His presentation is on Google Talks here.
