CrossFire Fusor

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Electrodynamic Space Thruster - basically the same reasons as that AfD. Unreferenced, original research; bordering on pseudoscience in some parts. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 21:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Please, be fair and specific in saying whether something is pseudoscience or not!

I think saying something is pseudoscience without explaining why, may sound as calumny.
As far as I can understand, pseudoscience is something that is unable to prove its claims such as producing unlimited clean energy; thinking in this way, all fusion concepts up to now, such as NIF, Tokamaks (JET, ITER), and so forth, should be put in the realm of pseudoscience for not proving their claims even with decades of heavy investments and scientific support.
Crossfire reactor uses same ideas that are used in some of these fusion concepts; it has a little different setup in comparison to Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor and Polywell. And as far as I can see, from description, calculation and drawings, the setup is technically reasonable and feasible, and it does not use exotic things to be considered as pseudoscience.

Delete - I can't find anything to establish the notability of this reactor, or anything to establish it scientifically, only a few mentions on helium.com. Although I agree, if you're going to call something pseudo-science, you should back it up. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:58, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; complete lack of notability, although the Cavalry should have learnt by now not to bandy the term pseudo-science around. Naughty boy; must be the seawater leaking into your ears. Safeguard, full clips. Ironholds (talk) 21:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: There's a blizzard of references, but none passing WP:RS that are actually about this subject. Whether it's pseudo-science or not is immaterial to its utter lack of notability. Fails WP:V, WP:NOR and WP:CRYSTAL. Ravenswing 21:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
