EMC2 has been advancing Polywell fusion technology for nearly 50 years, building on the original ideas from Dr. Robert Bussard (US Patent 4826646A, 1989). Over the decades, we have explored various embodiments of the Polywell technology, achieving many successes.
Within the Fusion community there is a perception that the Polywell approach has been tried and found wanting. This is based on certain academic papers written in the mid 1990s and further experimental work carried out at the Univ of NSW from 2010 to 2018.
EMC2 fundamentally disagrees with these conclusions and our answers to criticisms of the Polywell approach are outlined in the section 'Polywell - FAQs'.
