An Overview

Hey,

In this particular post I will create a quick list of all the ideas 'to-review' in the near future.  This post would be updated as new ideas are discovered in the web.


HOT-Fusion

Magnetic Confinement
  • Tokamaks
    • ITER, JET, etc... 
  • Stellarators
    • TJ-II, Weldstein 7X, etc..
  • Cross-fire
    • Brasilian dude, not much serious coverage in the media, I wonder why? http://www.crossfirefusion.com/nuclear-fusion-reactor/crossfire-fusion-reactor.html 
  • Tri-alpha energy 
  • General Fusion - Canada
  • Ignitor - Italy/Russia

Electrostatic Confinement
  •  Polywell (Robert Bussard)
    • There are a few amateurs pushing this forward
    • Energy-Matter conversion corporation also
  •  Fusors
    •  Why don't they work?
    • http://www.fusor.net/
    • http://www.thestate.com/2012/06/10/2309526/17-year-old-physics-star-making.html#.UMPjj9FJyBs
    •  
       
Dynamic-Plasmoid ? Inertial Confinement

  • Plasma focus: http://lawrencevilleplasmaphysics.com/
    • They 'benefit' from instabilities to ignite their plasma
    • They slow down their alphas to get energy.


COLD-Fusion

I will not focus on this regime of fusion since I am no chemist. I will try, nonetheless, to deepen major newcasts.

  • Oh man, more people risking their careers down the drain:
