Please answer the questions I asked. I will look at the link later.
The questions are more relevant to this specific thread.
I do not question the need for vigorous peer review; it is the essence of good science.
I simply want answers to the questions I asked. Please answer them.
If no, that's not my problem.
I also did not build rocket or helicopter or submarine but know their working principles.
You misunderstand me.
I simply want to know what fusion reactors you have built. I understand that you have a colliding beam design you are presenting.
Fusion physics has been filled for many decades with promising concepts and detailed designs.
Many have produced some energy.
None have passed breakeven.
You mention other machinery. That is okay, too. However, the first successful heavier than air craft was not built by any scientist studying aerodynamics. It was built by a pair of bicycle shop owners, how also happened to be damned good engineers. They built their own wind tunnel, checked Octave Chanute's published values for lift and drag from various airfoil cross-sections, and found his information was incorrect. They contacted him, and he admitted that their data was correct.
Note that it was their experimental results that counted.
Again, please describe the actual fusion reactors - fusor, polywell, DPF, other - that you have built. I provide the preceding list only as an example, not as the only possible or feasible alternatives (note, I did not include tokamak or stellarator).
At some level in this journey, there is no substitute for bending metal.
And, before you ask, no, I have not built any. Nor did I claim any expertise, either.
You have. Please describe the actual fusion reactors you have attempted to build.
