This is an "inventor" that is sharing his invention.

He is not an inventor of fusor. Problem with fusors is that they eat more energy than produce. Even in terms of heat they are not better that thermal pump You need more energy to make a stream of protons or ions powerful enough to start fusion reaction than you will get from that fusion reaction. Unfortunately. And when you get to fusion, you get neutron and gamma radiation as a sideshow. Even if you choose "neutronless" reaction as main one, it will not be the only reaction you will really get. There always will be other reactions. And neutrons are nasty, because they like to make very active isotopes from nearly anything. So, "inventor" really need concrete shielding for his fusor.

So, there is clearly no self-sustained process, and there is no any proof that fusion reaction really started. He could have been demostrated radiation he got from fusion reaction, and that could be perfect proof that he really reach fusion, but he didn't.

It is undoubtfully very interesting project, but it have no real practical sense. It will not end in self-sustaining power source producing some 10 kWh of electric power working in the barn.

Star-in-a-jar is a very nice thing for weekend garage project. I like them, and build a few. They are real thermonuclear fusion reactors, working ones, with possibility to run fusion reaction as long as you wish, unlike all that fusion "breakthroughs" hyped in MSM. But they are not energy source.

And honestly plasma is the free energy we are looking for.

Plasma is just a gas, hot enough for atoms to loose electrons.

I spent hours drawing a blueprint of of a Plasma rifle.

Plasma rifle is very simple thing, really. It is just two parallel conductors with a large capacitor. You put something conductive (I played with balls of aluminium foil) between conductors, it short circuit capacitors and evapourates to a ball of plasma with a current passing through. Since that current runs through parallel conductors too, this plasma ball began to accelerate in magnetic field of conductors. It is very entertaining show, but completely useless. Plasma ball accelerates to a decent speed, but it have too low density to make any significant damage to the target. And slow down quickly in air. I get some wooden planks burning at few meters, but much smaller UV laser do that on much larger distances with much less energy consumption.

The only thing I could not grasp was the how to control the energy.

Energy of plasma projectile is proportional to energy stored in capacitors before the shot.

You seem pretty educated in this field. What are your thoughts on old world buildings harnessing "lighting" or other high atmosphere energies.

Harnessing lightnings works, you could get some free energy from them, you don't even need a tall building, you could get free energy just from any conductor near thunderstorm. But you need permanent thunderstorm to get constant flow of energy. Hardly anybody will agree to live in a house under constant lightning strikes to have some free energy.

Static atmospheric electricity looks cool with its 200V at the height of your head, until you measure available current. Since air is an isulator, and a decent one, that 200V you connect to will drain immidiately and you have to wait a long time while they will restore. This is why we are not electrocuted constantly walking or standing. Too low current.

At the end of the day. I think a world free of current tech and energy shackle's would progress us 10 fold.

Really, world should progress at 10 fold right now, even with current energy sources. Problem is that there are no any significant inventions was made since 1970. Last one was laser. Progress was artificially stopped and all that allowed to develop (only quantitatively, not qualitatively) is stupid computers. And that done not by killing some inventors who invent something, announce invention and hide invention from public, but by controlling funding for every single area of science.
