The SAFIRE PROJECT was initiated.  Its objective was to test the Electric Sun Model.  The project is unfolding in three major phases.

A fully working proof-of-concept miniature (bench-top) lab was built – to see if the concept would actually work.  Early experiments were created, focussed mainly on the technology and generating certain environments in the bell jar.

The full-size SAFIRE laboratory was constructed, at the heart of which was the SAFIRE Plasma Engine.  Further experiments were performed.  All the evidence to date shows there are no disparities with the Electric Sun hypothesis.

Phase Two went far beyond what was originally planned.  While generating the experiments to test the technology the SAFIRE team made numerous unexpected discoveries.  At this point in time the SAFIRE team is now able to create, control and contain unique plasma environments.  In these environments SAFIRE is generating energy densities comparable to the Sun’s photosphere and nuclear bombs.  And doing so without producing any negative side-effects such as radioactivity.
