The Canadian company - General Fusion has been in the Science News lately.

which is mechanically imploded. This is still hot fusion with all its
difficulties.

Actually Alan, this is a good idea. Tom Claytor has been slowly mastering
production of tritium using cold fusion to the point where this might be a
practical source. But as you point out, the excess energy
His statement is designed to reduce fears about its production during
application of LENR. If creation of tritium were the goal, this rate
could be easily increased.

General Fusion Founder to Speak at TED Conference
Chief Scientist to highlight progress on much-anticipated fusion energy
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 31, 2014) - When TED, the

This claim suffers from the same limitations that haunt laser fusion
and magnetic bubble fusion (ITER). Insufficient tritium can made by
the fusion reactor so that tritium must come from another source,
which adds greatly to the cost. In addition, the process generates

I don't get it. Why whinge like that? I think it's great they are

dollars in SnapChat.

Yes, it's a disgrace to see the lack of investment in LENR.

What's even more disgraceful is that a founder of the Tokamak program came

You could level the same charge of trying for years and spending billions
of dollars against the search for a cure for cancer. Given that progress in
this field could be described as moderate at best would you also say

Has anyone even _tried_ to come up with objective criteria milestones for
cancer research?
Its not like you can just sit back and think these things up off the top of
your head. I came up with the criteria for the fusion prizes by going
around to all of the proponents of alternative fusion
Yes indeed, we can find many examples of the same disfunction
operating. The difference is, cancer can be cured. Hot fusion can not
be made practical.
Cancer suffers from the same factors that cause LENR to be rejected
and hot fusion to be supported. As long as cancer remains uncured, a

Yes, I would reform and
The General fusion design is close to sonofusion. They setup a shock wave
in liquid lead to compress some hydrogen (D and T) in the center of the
liquid lead sphere.
They should use a heavy iconic liquid and cavatate it to produce the shock
wave. We know that this works to produce fusion; but
Maybe someone could re-target a suitably-tuned LENR system as an online
Tritium-generator and get some of those hot-fusion funds. Of course, it would
need an expensive cooling system to get rid of the excess heat.
Just kidding, of course.
Actually Alan, this is a good idea. Tom Claytor has been slowly
mastering production of tritium using cold fusion to the point where
this might be a practical source. But as you point out, the excess
energy would be a problem. :-)

General Fusion is working on a new, patent pending concept based on a recent
development in fusion research called Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF). MTF
has been building momentum in the fusion community for a few years
on in the energy world right now.
