Bussard's inertial electrostatic confinement fusion WB-7
prototype activated
EMC2 Fusion has built an upgraded model of Bussard's
last experimental plasma containment device, which was
known as WB-6.
"We got first plasma yesterday," Nebel said - but he and
his colleagues in Santa Fe, N.M., still have a long way to
get the WB-7 experiment up to the power levels Bussard
was working with.
This work is very important because we could have
commercial fusion in as little as 5 years if the work is
successful. Success would also transform space travel
(40 to 1000 times cheaper to get into space).
