An energy revolution! (no, really)
posted by saurabh in Gee-whiz, Science!, Technocrisy, The Future |Lately I’ve been interested in the Fusor, a device which achieves fusion by accelerating individual ions to high energies using electric fields (rather than creating a high-temperature plasma, the strategy employed by expensive and to date unsuccessful “tokomak”-based methods). It seems some guys at UC Irvine have done something similar. Check it out.
Note that this is NOT “cold fusion”, it is “hot fusion”, and the physics is relatively uncontroversial. Fusion power in a matter of years?
UPDATE: Apparently not.

Ha!
Not as cool as Telco Power
Plus, check out the Telco Power vibrator.
that’s odd — when i looked at the picture the first thing i thought was “equilibrium”
