Well, afaik Farnsworth fusor is neither new invention, nor it can achieve over unity. Still a big achievement!

If I can pick only one technical error in the press report:

> McMillan's creation is a Farnsworth reactor — a scaled-down relative of the powerful tokamak chambers being built in the big labs.

PS: It would be nice to get a post with a more accurate technical description, that avoid all the claims about "unlimited energy" that are not in the future path of a fusor.
