Recently Phys.Org has had 2 articles about small inexpensive fusion reactors that are in work. The first is UW fusion reactor concept could be cheaper than coal. The seconds is from Lockheed Lockheed Martin pursues compact fusion reactor conceptLockheed hopes to have a prototype running in 5 years. The prototype would be able to sustain a fusion reaction for 10 seconds. That doesn't sound very long but it is way more than anything that is in work right now. If they can get that then it will be a huge step towards a real fusion energy source. Of course fusion energy has been 10 years away for about 50 years now. Bill Gill

Crap , I just finished a free energy machine built from 2 soup cans bad timing I suppose. I guess I could fuse them together to make it sound important.
3/4 inch of dust build up on the moon in 4.527 billion years,LOL and QM is fantasy science.

Wow! Japan has fusion? That's news to me. I didn't know anyone had controlled fusion. Now that Germany is getting into the act it will be interesting to see what happens on this side of the water. Maybe there will be some money shaken loose for Fusion research here.
