This is the story of a remarkable fusion device called the Farnsworth Fusor and its successor, the Bussard Reactor (aka. Polywell). The Bussard Reactor holds the promise of clean cheap abundant energy from fusion. This is a story of research on the edge.–Bio: Famulus is an entrepreneur, hacker, and rails developer. In 2008 he learned of the Bussard fusion reactor and left the software world to try and build a working Bussard Reactor.
Check your e-mail. I sent you something.
great way to raise awareness, and possibly get hooked up too :)
What reaction did you get from the crowd afterwards? I hope you mentioned how it is the BIGGEST possible disruptive technology if it works.
More importantly… did the chicks dig it?

it was really fun. House was packed. I was on for about 20 minutes, which felt like an instant to me. My lab is a few neighborhoods down from the venue… home turf. The place really cleared out after the presentations were finished, which was too bad. My presentation went well… It’s a fun story to tell. I don’t think there is a video.
