everyone see this yet, a version of polywell
I am not a nuclear physicist, but play one on the internet.
Re: everyone see this yet, a version of polywell
The illustrated designs are in 2D, and it's unclear how he intends to adapt to 3D, if he even has a clear idea.
The daylight is uncomfortably bright for eyes so long in the dark.

Ihtink he completely has no idea how to mount and power his solenoids without disrupting the device.
If we could magically suspend and power the solenoids, he may be on to something.

The development of atomic power, though it could confer unimaginable blessings on mankind, is something that is dreaded by the owners of coal mines and oil wells. (Hazlitt)

interesting. the author adds in a comment: "I am working on a more advanced design which will be evaluated at Sandia.".
now that would be an interesting story to follow.

I'm curious as to what software modeling tool he is using to generate/simulate these images of the magnetic field interactions. Anyone know?

Thanks, Paperburn1.

So Indrek changed his mind on Polywells, after all.

I think the 3D version could look like a geodesic dome. Place the inward facing solenoids at the vertexes, and the recirculation ones along the bars/edges. Built like that, there's plenty of room in between for support structure and wiring.
I have no clue if it'd be superior or not in producing the needed fields. I suspect that thousands of small electromagnets would be cheaper to make than 6 huge ones. If the electron recirculation works as suggested, then it could substantially reduce the volume of vacuum required for a given core diameter.
