[Keith Nagel]

Hi All,

Just noticed this story, quite interesting but lacking detail.

A billion volt Marx Generator would not be something one could construct
in the garage, but arguably somewhat easier than the lasers typically
considered for fusion work.

The talk in question is listed here.

"Pure Nuclear Fusion Bomb Propulsion," F. Winterberg (U. of Nevada, Reno)

and the published paper is here.

Yet no mention of the Marx generator idea is contained therein. ???
