this isn't huge news. There are many amateur scientist that have been doing this for years.

Check out this link in particular:

It's not huge newe because his reactor doesn't work. I just build a spaceship the other day, but for some reason it didn't go anywhere. I must not have used enough ionized salt for the drive system.

It's a nuclear fusion reactor. So it fuses atoms together rather than split them.

The only reason you could say it "doesn't work", is because it uses more energy than it creates. But it's doing what it is supposed to do.

well that is the holy grail of fusion, sustained cold fusion. There are many people building fusion reactors as the link I provided outlines however, they put in more energy than they get out.

Just like my ion drive - it emits ions, but I don't seem to go anywhere.

Damn gravity.

Yep, it's always something.

It's nice to see people doing this stuff rather than some nefarious guy doing something slimy (Live that Air Colonel in Ottawa) or the former Gov of Illinois Blagoyevitch or whatever his F name is.

Obviously this man is attempting to start his own nuclear weopons program.I advocate bypassing the U.N. and perform a pre-emptive strike on this suspect individual now!
