The "Polywell" Approach to Fusion

Overview

This approach neatly side-steps several of the difficulties that have kept fusion always the "energy source of tomorrow." Theoretical and experimental results suggest that this "polywell" approach to fusion can not only generate net power, but do it in a clean way, with no radioactive byproducts, using fuels (hydrogen and boron) that are abundant environmentally friendly. It's just a matter of confirming the results with a few more experiments, and then working out the engineering details for a full-scale power plant.
