I found this article listing General Fusion with two other ongoing fusion experiments: http://nextbigfuture.com/2014/07/alternative-nuclear-fusion-projects-tri.html Cameronarndt ( talk) 19:48, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Nature covered them in an article about the state of fusion research http://www.nature.com/news/plasma-physics-the-fusion-upstarts-1.15592. ( 87.177.237.75 ( talk) 16:59, 29 August 2014 (UTC))

Perhaps it would be beneficial to include the several developmental experiments that have lead to general fusion's current 3 meter experiment. This would provide some background to the development process the company has gone through (over 14 years now) and show that it's not just their first try to build a fusion device Cameronarndt ( talk) 19:56, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
The two SDTC lks are now dead, and a Google search for "General Fusion" within the SDTC site gives five hits, all dead. The Chrysalix links is also dead, and a Google search of that site gives 12 non-redund hits mentioning them, all marked questionable as to safety by my anti-viral software.
At best, the article is seriously out of date; at worst SDTC found reason to wash their hands of the company, and others may want to examine what Chrysalix now says.
In any case, the remaining lks should be examined in more detail than i have, to see if the journalists relied on anyone other than GF, Chrysalix, and others with a stake in the company.

In a pinch it may serve a substitute for any dead links. I gotta say, that fellow LaBerge is quite a character, quite entertaining to hear. Makes me wish I had him as a professor when I was taking physics in college. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 02:40, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
So, reading: http://fire.pppl.gov/fpa11_laberge_GF.pdf , a presentation prepared in 2011 lists GF as receiving "$32.5M in venture capital, $4.5M in government support" I'm guessing that only a fraction of the $13.9 million was awarded to GF directly. In any case, the VC figure listed on Wikipedia could perhaps use some updating. Oh, and this presentation might be a useful place for sourcing information for links. The actual GF website is glitzy but informationally barren. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.78.21 ( talk) 16:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Updated the funding section with information and references for the 2011 and 2015 funding rounds, and corrected a dead link for the 2013 project with SDTC and Los Alamos. - Mountainlife00 ( talk) 01:40, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
