anyone else get a science boner for magnetized target fusion?

>>5260149
Well you know the basic principles of fusion yes? Push hydrogen plasma together?
I reckon we can make a vortex with an inflow and outflow of liquid lead, running it through a boiler.
We return to steam trains, send them to the moon, all kinds of crazy shit will happen if we can engineer a mass producible one.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 15 23:04:32 2012 No.5260170 Muon catalyzed fusion is more promising.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 15 23:11:48 2012 No.5260187 >>5260170 How so more?

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 15 23:13:18 2012 No.5260193 >>5260187 Not him, but the whole "fusion at room temperature" thing seems to be pretty damn promising.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 16 00:02:49 2012 No.5260301 >>5260187 Fusion at room temperature. Right now we put more energy into fusion than we get out of it, which is obviously inefficient. If we can get/make a good enough source of muons this will effectively solve our energy problems forever.

>>	anotherfag Fri Nov 16 01:39:29 2012 No.5260500 >>5260170 Except for the whole muons-take-a-lot-of-energy-to-produce-and-decay-too-fast thing. Sure, if we found a cheap way to produce enough muons or found a way to stabilize them somehow, then sure. Can't see it happening, though.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 16 02:31:29 2012 No.5260591 >>5260187 It's what the sun is actually doing because it's too small to directly fuse hydrogen. ie: It's easier than forcing bare nuclei to fuse.
