If history is any guide, most likely it has some fatal flaw. Should still study it though.

You can build a polywell fusor for $2000. The issue here is whetever or not you can ever use it efficiently for power generation.
As a neutron source or eventual spacecraft propulsion it may have more applications.

Do you even fuse?

FUNFACT: Tokamak reactors have created more neutrons per-dollar than these so far
