As things are, the ZAP approach being close to target in additional technical effort, quite a stretch longer away from target plasmawise, a bold fail fast approach is a good strategy. If it fails and there are some loose ends worthy of following up they will certainly get some funds for that also. I...

No net energy, no first wall problem. So it seems to be the right order to do it. Do you sincerely think an investor would spend substantial amounts of cash on the first wall problem merely based on physics calculations that the energy release problem is solved? And I think it is not a done deal. No...

I will never get bored of repeating that we should always beware of scaling plateau in uncharted areas. This issue has been the major stopover of virtually every fusion tech out there for the past 40 years and the main cause of the popular belief that "fusion is always 20 years in future"..... The ...

Again, it might as well be that they solved the issue and didn't want to disclose it, no one knows, but the issue is real and is there from 15 years waiting to be solved as it is a roadblock for everyone working with FRCs and hoping to get to Q>1. Is this what Dennis Whyte has in mind when he says ...

Yes, you are totally correct. Scaling-up instabilities has been the show-stopper of every major/medium/small fusion idea of the last century. Still, the amount of knowledge we learned from those failure is what really pushed the boundaries to enable new visions like ZAP and Helion. So I really want...

A good and enlightening debate! Maybe a question about whether the glass is half empty or half full, but: "one technological major hurdle to overcome to reach the commercial fusion doorstep, i.e. keeping the Sheared Flow phenomena stable as they increase the power and decrease the pinch radius." ......

I should have shared a word of appreciation earlier. This forum is a really really valuable resource. No news is no news and a generally disciplined mode of discussion focused on a better level of understanding. For example, Giorgio, who seems to be knowleadgeable person, expresses himself like "I'm...

Dennis Whyte has said in one of his online lectures that the plasma in this approach is a thousand times to leaky. What does he mean with that?

Some film from 12:00 here

Good, informative video:

I have looked through the video now. Learned that the induction heating takes place in an external pathway. And that the concept can rely solely on induction heating. Otherwise, no additional wisdom acquired. I hope it will work.

As I do for any other concept being discussed here.

Fresh video treating the concept. Posted on Youtube 26/6.

I haven't looked through it yet.

Some really cleaver ideas for magnet fabrication presented:
