Asking as a layman, are there any hybrid solutions between inertial and magnetic, or are they mutually exclusive? I'm imagining using magnetic field for macro-control and laser for micro-adjustment. Kind of like SOC designs that have separate cores optimized for different workloads.
- DennisP 4y agoNIF recently started experimenting with adding a magnetic field: https://lasers.llnl.gov/news/magnetized-targets-boost-nif-implosion-performance https://lasers.llnl.gov/news/magnetized-targets-boost-nif-im... I don't think they used that for this recent event, so if it works out that's potentially a significant improvement.
