I'm interested in why you would want to try a resonant Polywell. Are you willing to share your thoughts on why you'd want to go that route? Regardless of whether you want to discuss it, good luck with your project.
It's a combination of ideas. I liked the idea of the polywell, but there was another project that also peaked my interest, plasma focus. One of the researchers described why their idea was better than the others, and it was quite convincing. Plasma is a dynamic system and their design works with the plasma dynamics instead of against it. This led me to the idea of a dynamic polywell, where the negative potential in the center could be tuned to oscillate. Maybe there is a sweet spot or harmonic that will cause fusion.
I have no idea if it will work, but is an interesting project and something attainable in the garage. If nothing else hopefully it will at least be a fancy plasma ball lamp.
