Ambitious.

I've been a physicist for years. Now that my mentors are getting way on in years they having been giving me their lab equipment. Over the past few years actually. It's helped. Dewars, HV power supplies and materials I couldn't have afforded have made the projects I'm working on possible. That and Homeland Security has pretty much shut down the old supply lines I used to rely on.

I dread that the energy companies may already have the working prototype for that, and I hope you do remain undercover, at least until you've finished. Then - you know - encrypt the project details, post it on wikileaks, let the hundreds of thousands people download it, then in good time, reveal the decryption key. :)

So, you're going to blow up the world? I'm kidding. :}
this looks so interesting!
