So... Q-plasma is above 1 for the first time, which is a huge deal.
Q-total is still below 1, but some of that can be improved through already-known laser efficiency advancements, and also by pushing Q-plasma higher.
I think pushing Q-plasma above 1 is the big gate though, isn't it? I mean, partly psychologically. Showing that it's actually technically possible.
- pfdietz 4y agoIt's not really a big deal, since laser fusion needs Q of 500 to 1000 to actually make sense.
