What about fusor?
http://fusor.net/ Why nobody speak about that? it is possible or not to make fusion with this? If yes, why there no research in this way? -- Bah voila To be warn when a message receive a reply http://www.axinews.com/ |

SWAG: somebody found a way to weaponize it and all current research is Extremely Classified, which means we won't hear about it until something goes BOOM. Either that or it's a dead end. Mark L.

current research is Extremely Classified, which means we won't hear about it until something goes BOOM. Tanks for your response. It seems to me logical and even more easy to use Electrostatic Confinement than use magnetic Confinement to make a plasma. Why the searcher prefer magnetic Confinement? -- Bah voila To be warn when a message receive a reply http://www.axinews.com/ |

Why the searcher prefer magnetic Confinement? ---------- Maybe the reason is that magnetic confinement works better with lower energy input. -- Don Kelly remove the urine to answer -- Bah voila To be warn when a message receive a reply http://www.axinews.com/ |

The basic idea is to overcome Coulomb repulsion (extremely high volts/meter over very short distances near the nucleus' "surfaces"), and ISTM you can cram power into magnetic fields easier than with electrostatic fields in terms of incidental wasted power in the support structure, frinst arcing effects vs. eddy currents. You can make pole pieces and such for DC magnetic fields out of superconductors, but how to "guide" HVDC losslessly? Also, it depends what you want to do with the plasma after you've made it. If you're after constant power generation, a linear geometry looks better since you can inject reactants at one end and extract heat from the the plasma at the other end without interfering with the process in the middle. I don't see how a spherical geometry like Farnsworth's can run other than in pulse mode. Even then, how do you get the power _out_ in a usable form? What is the basis for _your_ opinion? Mark L.

When you need an accelerator for fusion, you have already lost. The farnsworth is toy stuff to frighten children. No ?
