[ RadSafe ] Fusion research inquiry

[Walter Cofer]

I'm unaware of any government-sponsored research on the subject (though I
wouldn't be surprised if the DOE was spending millions on it), but there is
a California company that's been working on a fusion energy source:

Impulse Devices, Inc.
12731-A Loma Rica Dr.
Grass Valley, CA  95945
http://impulsedevices.com/
(530) 273-2826
D. Felipe Gaitan, Ph.D.
Chief Scientific Officer


I discovered the company when Dr. Gaitan posted a message on Radsafe last
year.  I was intrigued, so I checked out their website.  I don't know how
successful they might eventually be, but it was certainly fascinating to
read about (and I wish them the best of luck!).

Subject: [ RadSafe ] fusion

"RADsavers"

Just for my curiosity. As you may be aware quite some time ago (safety
issues with respect to) two peculiar types of fusion were discussed. I am
wondering what the current research (status) is on "cold fusion" (Fleischman
and Pons story)  and RF "bubble fusion" (acoustic cavitation with nuclear
emissions as published in Science 295, 2002, 1868-1873). Has any progress
been made, or have all research efforts on these subjects decayed. Thanks in
advance for your update.

Kind regards,
