Vinz writes (Slashdot.org): "Dr Bussard, the man behind the Bussard Collector and inventor of the Polywell fusion device, passed away
last Sunday in the morning. He leaves behind him a legacy of EM fusion
devices, and a team determined to continue his efforts. The news of
funding extension for the construction of his WB-7 fusion devices made it to slashdot months ago (as well as his talk at google).
They may be a serious candidate in the run to bring commercial fusion,
and may work at lower scales than other projects. Let's hope the
project continues in good shape despite his departure."
