Just curious, is the basic polywell design patented or public domain ?
I mean just the basic 6 coil design, since some minor modifications/improvements to the basic design are probably patented.
Polywell and patents
Re: Polywell and patents
The original patent was granted ~ 1988(?). Another patent of WB6 refinements- round casings and spacing was applied for ~ 2008 but this was denied, apparently because it was not deemed sufficiently different from the earlier patent. The earlier patent has expired.

Re: Polywell and patents
Several Polywell patents have been filed. Some have even been approved.
