A Microscopic Path to Fusion.
Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:40 pm
Quite interesting technology for electrons. Deuterons being heavier and slower (for fusion) might put one of these into the realm of being an interesting collider. I could imagine one chip with grooves expanding towards the center even in a plane that would usher and accelerate deuterons to a central colliding point. That puts many deuterons in the right place, at the right time, with the right energy for some good statistics for collision. Of course the big question always is, has too much energy been expended in the process?
