Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I don't see how this can ever be an efficient process. Coulomb scattering cross section will always be much larger than the fusion cross section, so most of the energy put in by the MeV X-rays is lost to heat. You can probably get some fusion reactions, but I don't see how one can ever get to net energy output.
Also, a criticism of magnetic confinement fusion was the scarcity of tritium, but they completely skip over the fact that magnetic confinement fusion reactors will breed their own tritium. Therefore only a startup inventory is needed.
This really seems like a production by someone who understands just enough to sound convincing, but does not fully understand all the issues.
Production quality was great. However, so many misleading statements, and with absolutely no analysis as to problems with such an approach. Seems like a catchy title with not much in the way of meaningful substance. What a shame!
Hey this guy is really good.
I only understand a fraction of what is said on this sub but this guy did really good to explain me fusion
Subject zero is the best!
