Re: Colliding Beam Fusion

From http://www.fusor.net/board/view.php?sit … 1179847764

... its a beam-beam design (as is a fusor) by Rostoker and Monkhorst, at least one of which is a founder of Tri-Alpha. Tri-Alpha was originally funded by Microsoft's Paul Allen for I believe $6M. Original beam-beam design from '97 is described here
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/a … /5342/1419
and the idea hammered by Nevins and Carlson here
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/f … /5375/307a

Idea updated in '03 and patented here:

BTW, Tri-Alpha has been posting the occasional job offer in the classifieds for high energy engineers, techs, etc ...
