Which makes me wonder whether or not Hitler's physicists had done any research into it. Nazi-Germany was riddled with nuclear masterminds, and Hitler was rumoured to have some crazy weapons projects up his sleeve.krenshala wrote:My apologies.
From what little I know, my opinion is that the earliest a Polywell could have been made was probably somewhere around 1930. This is due to the fact that while superconductors help they aren't needed, but the vacuum tube tech at the time would have helped it a great deal (assuming those in the know are correct that the WBs worked extremely similarly to vacuum tubes).
How long ago could we have built polywells? (WW II ?)
Because we can.
