Humans have been developing propulsion methods for thousands of years, and there is a constant drive to develop faster, more powerful drive systems. Recent technological developments allow us to propel massive machines with an elaborate selection of thruster types. Some of these burn high energy fuel to generate thrust, whereas other devices use electricity and magnetic fields. Current research is bringing us ever closer to utilizing devices which first appeard as science fiction.

Dr. Robert Bussard's Fusion Breakthrough
In his haunting final interview, the late Dr. Robert Bussard describes a last-ditch race against time and funding to realize his career-long dream of clean, affordable fusion energy. Bussard, a founding member of America's fusion research establishment, spent over 20 years developing a modified Farnsworth-style "Polywell" fusor, successfully generating over 100,000 times the output of Farnsworth's original experiments...

Fallout
Three years ago, Betavoltaic Industries was poised for success as a next-generation energy startup working past the bleeding edge and getting startling results. With products in development for both stimulated beta-decay nuclear batteries and a radical new vision for LENR fusion energy, Betavoltaic had it made, until it all went away... More..
