A New Route to IEC Fusion Proposed
March 22, 2012 | 7 Comments
Nuclear fusion might be achieved in a preheated cylindrical container immersed in strong magnetic fields. A series of computer simulations performed at Sandia National Laboratories show the release of output energy that was, remarkably, many times greater than the energy fed into the simulation. Sandia researcher Steve Slutz, lead author of the paper published at […]

Bussard’s EMC2 Fusion Contracts Extended
March 7, 2012 | Leave a Comment
News is out there is a contract extensions and modification for EMC2 Fusion, the theory and work of Robert Bussard, that is working to develop Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) fusion. The news was first seen at Talk Polywell and quickly picked up by Brian Wang at NextBigFuture. The latest news is an ongoing research project […]

Bussard Fusion Update
November 11, 2011 | 1 Comment
Dr. Robert Bussard’s EMC2 Corp. with the U.S. Navy using recovery act funding working on inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) nuclear fusion based on the theory and prior work of Dr. Bussard has issued a very brief report. The plan is to determine if the experimental plasma scaling agrees with the theoretical models. The U.S. Navy […]
