Sci-Tech: Kickstarting a new Inertial Electrostatic Confinement fusion reactor

University students James Parkin and Thomas Clayson believe they have found a highly optimized design for an inertial electrostatic confinement nuclear fusion reactor (often called a Fusor) that should produce a far higher fusion rate than standard IEC devices. It might even approach breakeven (i.e. energy out equal energy in).

They are looking to crowdsourcing to raise the £28,000 they need to build and test it: Advanced Inertial Confinement Nuclear Fusion Reactor by James Parkin and Thomas Clayson — Kickstarter
