Preliminary inertial-electrostatic confinement fusion experiments have been carried out using hydrogen gas, and measurements of the light from a plasma core were made. The life time of charged particles in gridded IECF configuration is found to be longer than in the conventional spherical electrode discharges. The light intensity is found to be proportional to about 2/3 power of the input power.
