EXPERIMENT-1
Build an affordable Tesla research facility – Real hybrid fission/fusion micro reactor experiment
We are entering a unique time for research and technology development. Politics of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) degrading centralized technical capability of major defense contractors and national labs. Artificial intelligence with open source and public domain software/hardware makes possible a low-cost, powerful network of decentralized research facilities.
Small decentralized research facilities can now rival large centralized facilities. At a cost of approximately $10K, each facility is affordable for STEM education and small inventors. Technology for abundant clean energy is being developed.
Transmutation of Pepto-Bismal into Po-210 with hybrid fission/fusion micro reactor.
It is now possible for inventors to build and test their own hybrid fission/fusion micro reactor! In the past, fission/fusion reactors required centralized facilities and billions of dollars. It is now possible for a network of decentralized research facilities to develop the technology for abundant clean energy at a cost of less than $10K per facility. And abundant clean energy will usher us into an era of unprecedented prosperity.

INSTRUMENTATION
BLi Fusion LLC is working on low cost equipment and instrumentation for a high school or undergraduate physics lab. This makes it possible for students to complete surprisingly high level experimentation in nuclear physics and fusion at an unbelievably low cost. This would also make it possible for engineers and small businesses to affordably do experimental work that parallels https://safireproject.com/ and https://eng8.energy/.
