I agree, a journalists description of such new fusion concept is unlikely to be useful to people trying to understand what is new about the concept. I am not a fusion scientist, but my dad is the "Tom Jarboe" in the article. From my limited understanding from talking to him, the main reason that they think the dynomak design has a chance of working is because they solved the problem of adding energy to a stable plasma without disrupting it by using a new type of helicity injector. Not sure if it would really work, but hopefully they can get enough funds to try.
