Fusion Energy Is Closer Than You Think Max I. Fomitchev-Zamilov, Ph.D., President
Fusion = Energy of the Future 10 micrograms of deuterium = 1 barrel of oil Deuterium is cheap and plentiful (from water) Zero carbon emission Zero radioactivity (this is NOT fission) <2 cents per kWh
Three Kinds of Fusion Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF)Non-viable despite $24B and 40 years of research Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF)Non-viable despite $20B and 40 years of research Cavitation-Induced Fusion (CIF)Viable! Inexpensive (few $M). Results in 5 years
Cavitation-Induced Fusion (CIF) Fuel-filled bubbles are injected into carrier liquid The bubbles are made to collapse and produce nano-thermonuclear explosions The liquid heats up producing steam driving a generator
CIF Science Conventional physics (this is NOT cold fusion) Solid theoretical foundation Good analytical model (Wolfram Mathematica) Molecular dynamics modeling Fluid dynamics modeling 7 independent successful experiments (USA, Russia)
CIF Prototype Hardware Commercial generator in 3-5 years
Immediate Goals: 2012 Demonstrate CIF proof-of-concept experiment Engage industry and academia in technology validation Develop modeling software for CIF engineering Capital requirement: $600k
Roadmap: 2012-2020 2012 – Single-bubble fusion demonstration 2013 – Multi-bubble fusion demonstration 2014 – Process control (yield) demonstration 2015 – Net energy demonstration 2016 – 50kWcommercial generator prototype, IPO 2017 – 50 MW commercial generator prototype 2020 – World’s first trillion-dollar company (capture 5% of multi-trillion-dollar energy market)
Quantum Potential Corporation Incorporated: 2010 Location: Penn Eagle Industrial Park(KIZ) Employees: 4 Equipment: prototypes built ($200k+ worth of hardware) Cash: $200k DOE, NASA SBIR proposals pending

Fusion Benefits for the USA Smooth transition away from oil Renewed technological leadership Birth of an entire new industry = employment! Markedly reduced energy and transportation costs = cheaper goods and services, hence Higher consumer spending, GDP & tax revenue growth
Fusion Benefits for the World Markedly reduced energy and transportation costs = sharp improvement in living standards, hence More middle class (and larger markets!) Desalination will solve food and water shortages Reduced carbon emissions = less climate change A new age of prosperity for all of humanity
Invest in the Future Would you like to reduce US dependency on foreign oil? Do you want to your children to inherit a clean planet? Do you see the U.S. as a world leader in science and technology*? * China spends 30 times more than the U.S. on alternative energy research and development…
