[lbo-talk] After The Anarcho-Green-Revo, Would These Guys Be Ostracized?

Joining a group of physics hobbyists, some of whom are trying to build small-scale fusion reactors for a new sort of power grid (de-centralized as the wind and solar advocates believe is right, but with atomics in the mix), this young man has successfully created a Farnsworth style (see "fusor" link below), Poisser plasma reaction based unit.

Another young man builds a cyclotron to examine atomic particles.

Apparently, it isn't only huge conglomerates and tyrannical governments who have an interest in such things.

After the anarcho-green transformation, would these kinds of projects be, in some sense, 'illegal'?

Fun with fusion: Freshman's nuclear fusion reactor has USU physics faculty in awe

By Alan Edwards Deseret Morning News

LOGAN — A widespread belief among physicists nowadays is that modern science requires squadrons of scientists and wildly expensive equipment.

Craig Wallace and Philo T. Farnsworth are putting the lie to all that. Wallace, a baby-faced tennis player fresh out of Spanish Fork High School, had almost the entire physics faculty of Utah State University hovering (and arguing) over an apparatus he had cobbled together from parts salvaged from junk yards and charity drops.

The apparatus is nothing less than the sine qua non of modern science: a nuclear fusion reactor, based on the plans of Utah's own Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of television.
