These things come up from time to time, the perpetual motion machines and the like. This one is rubbish. The thing that makes fusion attractive is it makes some minimal theoretical sense - if you can get two hydrogen atoms to combine into a helium atom, you get helium and a surplus of energy. So it is not perpetual motion based on magnets or total bunk like that. But as jbm pointed out, there's a lot of flaws in it. Not the least of which is that I got tired of reading the article before I saw what critical insight they had in terms of getting those hydrogen elements to combine. If this was a respectable publication, I'd have to think that'd be one of the first things to be explained, at least in journalist-ese.
