What about fusor?
http://fusor.net/

Why nobody speak about that? it is possible or not to make fusion with this? If yes, why there no research in this way?

SWAG: somebody found a way to weaponize it and all
current research is Extremely Classified, which means we
won't hear about it until something goes BOOM.

Either that or it's a dead end.

Tanks for your response.

It seems to me logical and even more easy to use
Electrostatic Confinement than use magnetic Confinement
to make a plasma.
Why the searcher prefer magnetic Confinement?

----------
Maybe the reason is that magnetic confinement works better with lower energy
input.

The basic idea is to overcome Coulomb repulsion
(extremely high volts/meter over very short distances near
the nucleus' "surfaces"), and ISTM you can cram power into
magnetic fields easier than with electrostatic fields in
terms of incidental wasted power in the support structure,
frinst arcing effects vs. eddy currents. You can make pole
pieces and such for DC magnetic fields out of
superconductors, but how to "guide" HVDC losslessly?

Also, it depends what you want to do with the plasma
after you've made it. If you're after constant power
generation, a linear geometry looks better since you can
inject reactants at one end and extract heat from the the
plasma at the other end without interfering with the process
in the middle. I don't see how a spherical geometry like
Farnsworth's can run other than in pulse mode. Even then,
how do you get the power _out_ in a usable form?

What is the basis for _your_ opinion?

When you need an accelerator for fusion, you have already lost.
The farnsworth is toy stuff to frighten children.
No ?
