Proton Boron Consortium

There is a new kid on the block when it comes to Polywell Fusion. The Proton Boron Consortium. It is working on an open source Polywell type design. You can also find the group on Facebook Proton Boron Consortium - Facebook. I am personally associated with the effort. They haven't started serious fund raising yet but if you would like to donate to the electronics part of the work you can use this PayPal button.

Please note if it is for the PB (Proton Boron) Project. Or the KW (kilowatt hour) offer.
