Summary

Robert Bussard built miniature sun in 1990s using polyhedral configuration without grids. Patented configuration that produces practical nuclear fusion with no radiation hazards. DOE rejected program as too cheap too quick rice bowl protection. Funded instead by DoD Strategic Defense Office through DARPA Defense Nuclear Agency in 1988. WB2 machine built in 1994 produced visible plasma orbs photographed like miniature sun. 11-year embargo on publishing papers 1994-2005 black program. WB6 machine built in 2005 achieved beta equals one condition 12 kilovolt drive produced DD fusion 1 times 10 ninth fusions per second 100000 times Farnsworth record world record. Electrons move at 10 ninth centimeters per second relativistic consideration. MPG magnetic polyhedral grid electromagnets water cooled copper 2000 amps 30 kilovolt drive steady state.
