Support the Waterstar Foundation Excalibur Fusion Fund

The Waterstar Foundation's Excalibur Fusion Fund seeks to raise a substantial endowment in order to fund experiments with a long-lost approach to controlled nuclear fusion. Details at:

Before it was dissolved in 1968, the Farnsworth fusion program cost ITT an annual budget of $400.000. That translates to roughly $4-Million in 2024 dollars.

Under The Waterstar Foundation's 501c3 umbrella, we propose to raise $100-million.

Not to [i]spend[/i]. To [i]invest[/i] in a perpetual endowment called "The Excalibur Fusion Fund."

An annual draw of 4% from an endowment of $100-million will provide $4-million/year – the 2024 equivalent of the money ITT was not willing to spend in 1968.

Given the relatively low cost of building and operating a fusor, that should be sufficient to sustain a meaningful effort to arrive at a definitive conclusion: Either the fusor produces useful fusion energy, or we will conclude without equivocation that the approach is a dead end – at which point the endowment will be dissolved.
