It is 100% independent research. I have been interested in fusion concept since 1974. Visited Princeton University Plasma Lab in 1975. Talked to few researchers. Tried to get into graduate program in Plasma Physics at the University of Maryland in 1976. For some reasons could not get accepted. Had to find other employments to stay alive. Recently, I decided to become a high school math teacher. Still on probational basis for a certificate license. I am teaching part-time, 20 hours per week, still not enough to pay for living expenses. Using previous savings for cost supplements.
It has been more than 50 years since fusion research started, still could not understand why the delay? It took about 10 years for thermonuclear fission from concept to application. There must be something missing in its concept. Maybe it is intimately connected to the principle behind a Theory of Everything (TOE)?
My hunch is that it could be related to magnetic helicity. The magnetic helicity is dual within the sun plasma dynamics. However, the magnetic helicity in the Tokamak fusion machine is at most only singular, weakly singular.
I'll say, it is good for you to admire Dallas, Texas at a distance. You really dont want to be here right now. The temperatures have been above 100 degrees Fahrenheit for several consecutive days now. Thank goodness, it's dry heat, the lesser of two evils.
