Editing Fusor (section)

===Recent developments===
[[George H. Miley]] at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign|University of Illinois]] reexamined the fusor and re-introduced it into the field. A low but steady interest in the fusor has persisted since. An important development was the successful commercial introduction of a fusor-based [[neutron generator]]. From 2006 until his death in 2007, [[Robert W. Bussard]] gave talks on a reactor similar in design to the fusor, now called the [[polywell]], that he stated would be capable of useful power generation.<ref>{{cite conference |url=http://www.askmar.com/ConferenceNotes/2006-9%20IAC%20Paper.pdf |author=Robert W.

An online community of "fusioneers", The Open Source Fusor Research Consortium, or Fusor.net, is dedicated to reporting developments in the world of fusors and aiding other amateurs in their projects. The site includes forums, articles and papers done on the fusor, including Farnsworth's original patent, as well as Hirsch's patent of his version of the invention.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusor.net|title=Home|website=Fusor.net}}</ref>
