"ABSTRACT This is not your father's fusion reactor! Forget everything you know about conventional thinking on nuclear fusion: high-temperature plasmas, steam turbines, neutron radiation and even nuclear waste are a thing of the past. Goodbye thermonuclear fusion; hello inertial electrostatic confinement fusion (IEC), an old idea that's been made new. While the international community debates the fate of the politically-turmoiled $12 billion ITER (an experimental thermonuclear reactor), simple IEC reactors are being built as high-school science fair projects."Dr. Robert Bussard, former Asst. Director of the Atomic Energy Commission and founder of Energy Matter Conversion Corporation (EMC2) is presenting to Google. Dr Bussard is in need of $200 Million to produce a full size Fusion reactor using a style of fusion abandoned by most researchers 20 years ago. But Dr. has been working with a team quietly and without publication for 17 years attempting to make the technology viable.
This sounds like a project for the Google Foundation
