Any thoughts on the Polywell?
At least it's a cheaper alternative to the Tokamak laser based design. By using electrostatics rather than lasers, it's much simpler and cheaper. But, we still have this ongoing problem of "just give us a little more money, and we're almost done!"
At least, it's a million dollars with the Polywell until we're "almost done", rather than a billion dollars, as with the Tokamaks!
Frankly, I don't see the slightest possibility that either approach will work. Perhaps I'm mistaken? They simply haven't taken the design concepts far enough to ensure that they are really practical.
