Tagline: Good Bye Fossil Fuels - Hello Fusion Energy!
Elevator pitch: We're on a near-term path to achieving nuclear fusion energy at a low enough cost to replace all fossil-fuel based energy sources and end fossil fuel use. We will harness the energy source that powers the sun to create clean, safe energy. If we secure the funding to complete our project, we believe this will be the most fundamental change in technology in decades. It will flip the power from fossil to fusion.

FAQ:
- Q: What happens if Eric Lerner becomes unable to perform his duties? Who becomes the voting shareholder?
  A: Our other officer, Ivana Karamitsos, will then have the voting shares.
- Q: Is there a deadline for this fundraising phase?
  A: The legal limit is six months. But we intend to complete it a lot faster. Our next goal is $200,000 by the end of Nov.12.
- Q: I see on your timeline in 2018 "start of experiments with beryllium electrodes" and "start of experiments with hydrogen boron fuel". What is it about past experiments using different electrodes and fuel that gives you confidence moving forward?
  A: Using deuterium fuel and tungsten electrodes we have achieved high enough ion energy (equivalent to a temperature) to burn hydrogen boron fuel. This is a record for any fusion experiment. We have a lot of evidence that eliminating heavy-metal impurities will greatly improve density and fusion yield. Beryllium, a very light metal, will eliminate the heavy-metal impurities.
- Q: Is the investment open to overseas investors?
  A: Yes. Of course you should check your own nations' investment laws, but there are no restrictions on the US end.
- Q: If the plasma is hot enough for H-B fusion, it's hot enough for H-H, which isn't aneutronic, how do you keep the reaction "clean" and non-radioactive?
  A: The proton-proton, or H-H, reaction is VERY slow--that's why the sun will be around for another 5 billion years. It does not produce a neutron--it produces deuterium. There are side reactions that produce neutrons--for example the He4 produced in the main reaction can react with B11. Only 0.2% of the energy goes to such reactions. But by using pure materials and good design, no radioactive waste will be produced. We say "no radioactive waste". Waste consists of long-lived radioactive isotopes...
