    Default Fusion

    Sharks with frickin' Death star lasers !!!




    Personally, I think the fusor.org is a bit more impressive on a small scale.

    Very impressive. I wish there were images of the 'shot' itself.

    Such a huge machine all built to destroy a 2mm target.

    Hope they crack fusion one day, it could come in handy for the future.

    i sometimes wonder whether it is possible, even with the (not so clear) evidence of the sun.

    fusion itself is easily achieved as mentioned with the very simple fusor. only about 5 kev, which is realy is nothing, a common crt runs at around 25kv. bussard was talking about 700kev in his patents with different materials-



    "12. Apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said directing means comprises two concentric spherical arrays of conducting electrodes having electrode elements thereon, said elements of each array positioned with spherical angular coordinates so as to generally correspond to those of one another and energized to electric potentials so as to accelerate ions inwardly with energies in the range of 5 keV to 150 keV for the collisional-compression of ions of deuterium (D) with ions of D and/or tritium (T) and/or helium-3 (.sup.3 He), and to 35 keV to 700 keV for the collisional compression of ions of hydrogen (protons, p) with ions of lithium-6,7 (.sup.6 Li, .sup.7 Li), beryllium-9 (.sup.9 Be), boron-11 (.sup.11 B), or other suitable combinations capable of undergoing nuclear fusion reactions."

    the problem is the getting more energy than expended part.

    would love to see power point they plug that into
