    This Machine Might* Save the World

    The source of endless energy for all humankind resides just off Government Street in Burnaby, British Columbia, up the little spit of blacktop on Bonneville Place and across the parking lot from Shade-O-Matic blind manufacturers and wholesalers. The future is there, in that mostly empty office with the vomit-green walls -- and inside the brain of Michel Laberge, 47, bearded and French-Canadian.

    im not sure i get the thing about the acoustic waves being used to compress the plasma. is it kinda like how at a concert i went to recently it was hard to breath through my nose because every time i tried the bass was so strong that it was either compressing the air or closing my nostrils? (it may sound weird but im just trying to find something i can relate it to so that i can actually understand it)
