"A widespread belief among physicists nowadays is that modern science
requires squadrons of scientists and wildly expensive equipment.

Craig Wallace and Philo T. Farnsworth are putting the lie to all that.

Wallace, a baby-faced tennis player fresh out of Spanish Fork High
School, had almost the entire physics faculty of Utah State University
hovering (and arguing) over an apparatus he had cobbled together from
parts salvaged from junk yards and charity drops.

The apparatus is nothing less than the sine qua non of modern science: a
nuclear fusion reactor, based on the plans of Utah's own Philo
Farnsworth, the inventor of television."

Tell Craig and Philo to publish their methodologies, and/or to allow
external evaluation of their magic box, and then we'll take you
seriously.

I recall looking up the Farnsworth design. The data on it shows it to be a
fusion machine all right, but way, way, way, way (like 1E-9) below the
energy break even. Can it make break even? Probably not, for reasons that
have more to do with plasma physics than with development money.

Damn those inconvenient laws of physics!
