3. The Polywell Fusion Experiment at the Energy Matter Conversion Corp. (EMC2). Polywell fusion is an innovative confinement concept for fusion energy that utilizes a combination of electrostatic plasma confinement (of ions) and 3D magnetic cusp confinement (of electrons). Our group is fielding millimeter wave diagnostics of plasma density.

Isn't this just a rehash of the report from the government of New Mexico where they got the Los Alamos Federal labs to do some diagnostics?
Or maybe not - that was high speed video.
Tom Ligon was into microwave diagnostics. He might have a word or two on the subject.
Engineering is the art of making what you want from what you can get at a profit.

very tenuous connection, one of the new first year grad students here at U of iowa got her EE degree at UNM, could see if she recognizes him.
