I just ran across your website this week end. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors to building a functioning polywell reactor, and will be following from the sidelines.
Here is a link to Don Gay’s article about the Bussard reactor that would be nice to have in your Blogroll list:
Hello,
I just came across your website via the link at iecfusiontech.blogspot. I have to echo some of the other comments here- what you’re doing is awesome. I’m going to contribute in the fundraiser, but I was also curious if you would consider additional t-shirt designs. I do some graphic design work when I’m not studying, and would be happy to draw some up free of charge. Also, on the outside chance you can make use of people contributing to this project remotely, I would be interested in that as well. I’m an engineering undergrad and probably unqualified to help in most respects, but I would be more than willing to take on busy work of any sort if it helps expedite this project.
I came across the whole Bussard fusion reactor topic yesterday by chance via a link from comments in a New Scientist article – and I’ve been obsessed with finding more information since – thank you for this site.
A specific question: why Teflon formers – I’m guessing because it is invisible to magnetic fields (as are the aluminum brackets?). Any reason this approach wasn’t tried in WB6 (forces too high for Teflon/Aluminum?).
Has anyone tried to get a guy like Richard Branson involved for funding? Reading his biography and his motto “Screw it, let’s do it”, I think he could be up for this. After all, he is the man who is willing to take a large punt on sub-orbital space flight for the “masses”. How much more spectacular would flights to the moon or beyond be in a decade or two.
Wishing you all the best, looking forward to news. I will contribute some funds too.

Nice meeting you the other day man – I def. wanna come back and take some proper photos of you in the work space. Can we make that happen next week?
What’s your email and I can send you some images from the other day.
Best,
Thaddeus

Hey Kyle, thanks for the support!
I actually had nothing to do with that t-shirt. Although it’s cool.
I think they are automatically generated from reddit submissions.
You are more qualified than me! So I’m sure you can help. If you see a place you can contribute, chime in.
