The press release from Lockheed doesn't say much, but I assume this is some advance on fusor design. Fusors have been around for 50 years, and have been somewhat useful for low flux neutron production, but up to now they haven't been able to generate more energy through fusion than they consume to power the electric and magnetic fields. I guess we'll have to wait until their stated test next year to learn more about the design.
Good post. So I must assume you get your username from some kind of elementary particle?
Thanks, I've spent much of the last 27 years identifying and tracking muons as a tool to measure fundamental properties of elementary particles.
