    I imagine most people can't tell the difference between fusion and fission.

    No idea if that claim is true, but I absolutely LOVE what he's and members of his community are trying to do on his forums.

    You don't need a Flux Capacitor to create a fusion reactor. You need a Flux Capacitor to travel through time. The Fusion reactor is required to RUN the Capacitor though, because let's face it 1.21gigawatts is a LOT of energy required.
    There is a thin line between not knowing and not caring, and I like to think that I walk that line every day.

    If he ends up succeeding (or helps someone who does with his knowledge), he’ll have upended trillion dollar businesses. Pretty awesome!
    IF !!

    If he ends up succeeding? Meaning he hasn't? I have some loo roll and sellotape in my garage, should be say I've almost succeeded in building an FTL drive?

    Thread title should be 'is building' instead of builds.

    thread title was a copy from the title used in the article, so no

    This guy's hair and beard combination are legit enough for this to be possible... I hope he figures it out. His website at least makes it seem like he knows what he's about.

    So because the article is misleading the thread must be too?

    Well, technically he has built it ... only it is not yet creating the clean, efficient fusion he wants it to. Not misleading. Only misinterpreted.

    my personal opinion: no he haven't build it but probably the USA know how to build it since decades ego but keep it secret for political reason especially the stability of all those towel-heads countries like Saudi Arabia and the likes.

    Infracted. Racism isn't tolerated here

    what part of "haven´t looked at the homepage" is unclear?

    You are literally the American stereotype.

    Who brought you up that allowed you to use terms like towel-heads?
