Fusion = Energy of the Future
10 micrograms of deuterium = 1 barrel of oil
Deuterium is cheap and plentiful (from water)
Zero carbon emission
Zero radioactivity (this is NOT fission)
<2 cents per kWh
Three Kinds of Fusion
Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF)Non-viable despite $24B and 40 years of research
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF)Non-viable despite $20B and 40 years of research
Cavitation-Induced Fusion (CIF)Viable! Inexpensive (few $M). Results in 5 years
Cavitation-Induced Fusion (CIF)
Fuel-filled bubbles are injected into carrier liquid
The bubbles are made to collapse and produce nano-thermonuclear explosions
The liquid heats up producing steam driving a generator
CIF Science
Conventional physics (this is NOT cold fusion)
Solid theoretical foundation
Good analytical model (Wolfram Mathematica)
Molecular dynamics modeling
Fluid dynamics modeling
7 independent successful experiments (USA, Russia)
Immediate Goals: 2012
Demonstrate CIF proof-of-concept experiment
Engage industry and academia in technology validation
Develop modeling software for CIF engineering
Capital requirement: $600k
Roadmap: 2012-2020
2012 – Single-bubble fusion demonstration

Fusion Benefits for the USA
Smooth transition away from oil
Renewed technological leadership
Birth of an entire new industry = employment!
Markedly reduced energy and transportation costs = cheaper goods and services, hence
Higher consumer spending, GDP & tax revenue growth
Fusion Benefits for the World
Markedly reduced energy and transportation costs = sharp improvement in living standards, hence
More middle class (and larger markets!)
Desalination will solve food and water shortages
Reduced carbon emissions = less climate change
A new age of prosperity for all of humanity
Invest in the Future
Would you like to reduce US dependency on foreign oil?
Do you want to your children to inherit a clean planet?
Do you see the U.S. as a world leader in science and technology*?
* China spends 30 times more than the U.S. on alternative energy research and development…
