Hi Guys,

Has this technology being worked on by general Fusion been discussed here before ?

Looks like you also authored one of the replies...

Oops.. I did too...

I came across their incredible claims via a different channel, and I must have forgotten their name. The method still looks like a hard way to achieve fusion to me.

looks like the standard 'bigger hammer' approach applied to sonofusion. in this case they also appear to have fed the hammer steroids.

appart from the interesting engineering solutions they are going to have to come up with, i don't think it will work. it just looks fundamentally too easy.

I had a look at the site and the patent. It looks like a classic implosion design at first look but in no way is this design viable as it is presented. They may be able to get a pulse at a very low rate of fusion like we would in a fusor at a couple hundred volts, but no more.

The design lacks the proper transitional sysmetry for focused fusion. It also is ~200 too low in velocity to do any good and many many times too low in starting density. \\

I am sure they will get their share of investors though.

A well done and polished prospectus will drag in a few investors at the lower end level. This might be enough to pay some office expenses and do a kept alive, but big money has advisors and they would nix this thing in a heartbeat.

You would be surprised at how much money there is out there for a steam driven fusion reactor.

Not because it will work, but because people can imagine it.
