3D model of the Navy Machine on YouTube

This 3D model is taken from information in the preprint paper: "High Energy Electron Confinement in a Magnetic Cusp Configuration." by Dr. Jaeyoung Park, et. Al. on June 1, 2014. This is a polywell. A polywell uses an electric field to heat ions to fusion conditions, it could be a path to fusion power. This model is incomplete (there were other holes in the chamber, not shown), but does show the ring structure, supporting apparatus, chamber and diagnostics. Also included are the plasma and electron injectors. The film shows the machine, labelled parts and some dimensions.

Nice video. It appears that it is only about a meter tall? Seems kind of small....
