I was curious about the static electric field because of the observations of the magnetic fields breaking and collapsing - could that phenomenon occur with a static electric field ?

It has to be from moving charges [current].

Another musing was with Nuclear Fusion, brought about by Robert Bussard's Polywell concept http://www.strout.net/info/science/polywell/ could an electrical discharge occur through a magnetic field ? What would the effect of the magnetic field be on the discharge and the field surrounding the discharge ? Could the discharge through the appropriate material result in fusion ?
Musings.....

Actually, his approach of suspending material in a magnetic field isn't unique. The fusion lab at Los Alimos, I believe, does that to a degree. But the thing with using any energy form involved only how much. The only shortcuts are finding matching frequencies, even if through the use of sound.
