well, ok, I'll bite: I'm just saying that electrons at 1 keV don't radiate terribly much, but are warm enough to not provide undue collisional drag on ion beams passing through. Pretty straight forward, I think.

Hi, I've been away and also unfortunately don't have the time to get involved in the back and forth detailed discussions on this website. Our new device is only just running and we don't have energy and particle confinement times. It is also a tiny prototype with voltages not exceeding 5kV, just to ...

The Coulomb collision cross-section is about the same as the fusion cross-section at energies of ~100 keV. Two ions lost = 200 keV of energy, but two ions fusing = 20 MeV of energy, so fusion wins out. There are numerous beam based fusion designs that calculate precisely when and how net gain can be...

Hi, thanks for the interest. Some of our patents have been flagged for secrecy, then "unflagged", but the patent office forgot to publish the application. We have been quite happy about this in the past few years. Regarding thermalization: Generally, once beam particles are above ~50 kV, thermalizat...

trumpet blowing

Hello, I just filled our website with content. Hope it makes for interesting discussions. I'm interested in talking with a) technical experts who have comments and/or questions, b) people with money, and c) persons who might consider writing articles or producing other sorts of media. Cheers, Alex K...
