Is everybody forgetting that what was described is little more than a 3D internal combustion chamber for an exotic fuel? That's my reading of of what this company is trying to produce. Instead of a piston providing direct pressure, they are using a shock wave to compress the plasma. The heat produced creates steam somewhere in the system that is used to drive a standard turbine, thus producing the electricity of which, hopefully, more will be produced than was used to generate the reaction. Think of the engine in your car to which you add a couple of one-way check valves, and a generator turbine mounted in front of the radiator. The major differences are the source of heat and the cycle rate, not to mention the possible pressures used and produced. riff_raff: Like pendragon_25, I am Canadian, and our zoning laws are much the same as those in most U.S. municipalities. Until the risk of explosion ranks greater than that found on most high-pressure production processes employed by maufacturers in municipal commercial facilities, it is unlikely that any government body is likely to intercede. Furthermore, the type of radiation produced and the given half-life of the byproducts is so short that it is unlikely if any major regulations are being impinged upon. At most it will be only after a successful test of the larger reactor that a move to a more remote facility might be considered or required.
