I think this talk (https://youtu.be/L0KuAx1COEk https://youtu.be/L0KuAx1COEk) makes a pretty good case for why a project of the scale of SPARC makes sense from an engineering standpoint.
- pontifier 8y agoVery interesting video... My answers to the questions in the video are: Fuel: D-D Temperature target: 15kev Confinement: hopefully approaching ideal at small ion counts. (penning traps are very good at trapping particles for long periods of time) Instabilities: unknown but probable at high ion counts. I know there will be challenges to solve, but hopefully they are not fatal problems. I believe the first prototype could achieve Q>1
