wait, wait.
do you even take yourself seriously?
I mean, no one in real life does, obviously. You are clearly a joke, but do you know that?

i figure if people have got this far in the thread, they will read the massive walls of text such a topic deserves
much like my space thread
though i do consider spoiling them to keep the thread easy to skim
i dunno though

Laser fusion is not viable to feed electricity into the grid; impossible even in theory by today's standards from what i've heard. As no one denies, The NIF can only produce single events with a large interval in between, and imo they have different priorities than power plant research.
The Germans are also working on an experimental reactor to be completed in 2015 with a burn duration of up to 30 minutes. It shares similarities with a classic toroidal Tokamak, but avoids present difficulties with magnetic plasma confinement using specially shaped magnets. Pretty impressive from an engineering standpoint.

One of the dudes at the polywell forum has a FOIA request in for more details on the Navy project.
Talk-Polywell.org :: View topic - Polywell FOIA
He sent it to the wrong place, so it's being shuffled around.. check back in a month.

true, the one in america is only demonstrating the power of the laser beam
but they are building one now somewheres else (england?) to demonstrate rapid fire pulsing, which leads to permanent operation
but like i said, i'm new to laser fusion. I'm more about polywell
navy has a publishing embargo on research data, so i dont know if a FOIA request will work

fngr, tokamak probably wont work, and if it does, it is too costly and complicated to really mainstream
they use so much exotic material, that **** would be nuts
so, that's probably a dead end
other fusion reactors offer cheaper, sometimes less complicated solutions
we shall see

Too much energy in (for containment)
Not enought sustainable energy out
|

thats why we run experiments that increase the power ratio
which is what is happening at the moment

no no goshin. We shouldn't try to improve anything.
God has made everything perfect as is. We are at fault, we should do what the good book says, commit genocide and stem the over population.
