Very 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
