Polywell Bibliography

[D Tibbets]

Below is a list of articles- mostly by R Bussard concerning the Polywell. They were obtained by a limited search on "Robert Bussard", and "Polywell". I found them on a US government site referenced by Tall Dave in another thread. I cannot find the thread now and I was too lazy to bookmark the site, so someone needs to help with the link. I list the titles here so that the aviability of at least some technical articles with alot of math in them are emphasized. I started a new topic to publicize the information. Hopefully, this will give some food for thought to those inclined to pursue them...

Well, I never found the original thread again, but backtracking through one of the titles via a Google search found the site:

I believe they can be found on the Ask Mark site.

Search - Ask Mark Fusion Bussard - using Google. - it should do the trick.
