      A compact, low cost fusion reactor… one that could run on ‘normal hydrogen’ with no need for deuterium or tritium fuels.

      So you could have essentially unlimited and non-poluting power generated in every house for the cost of the reactor and a teaspoon of water every few decades.

      Personally, I would want to invent ‘special seeds’ to make crops in so called ‘third world’ countries less susceptible to drought so that famine becomes a thing of the past. I know there are other challenges to be met in these countries, but I feel this would be a step forward for mankind.
