One point of clarification on my earlier stated opinion. When I spoke of using magnetics to bind the plasma core, I was not thinking that the plasma be the magnet. I consider the nature of the matrix, by which the plasma is being contained, and through which any useful material must therefore be extracted. I would suppose forcefields to be the more efficient matrix, as they can easily be shaped to suit particle extraction, or even monitored to force and regulate flow once a stable reaction is sustainable. BUT. Has anyone figured the specific gravity of H3? Can anyone say how, other than by forcefields, we can hope to contain even 1 H3 atom? Then it follows that something more is called for. Can a field be generated inside another?
Seems to me that we might also be well served by paying close attention to the by product. We would consider clean what? Iridium? At least we have use for it. Palladium? We wish. More likely still something we have to dispose of, like tritium, or maybe full circle back to deuterium, ready to strip electrons at your neighborhood nuclear reactor.
To Micheal Laberge: I do not know if your system will work as configured, but just so you know, my wife asked me what the hubbub was with fusion, cold or otherwise. I explained in basics what it has been up till now. As I read the article, I could`nt believe my eyes. What I had just got done telling her what I thought would be the methods employed in the early years of this new tech was written almost word for word about your efforts. This is nowhere near the first time this has happened to me, and I`ve come to enjoy the early developments of an idea that was only concept so recently. Best of luck to us all. P.S. Whatever you are channeled into regarding containment and stripping/collection, STICK with the pressure inducement as well as the plasma. Maybe we will have to bind the core magnetically as I anticipate to produce significant power, but to prove concept vacuum may suffice, although not for long. Too passive to generate a good friction/heat induced sustained chain reaction, in my view. The obvious benefit being isolation of the core material, right? I suppose then that the problem becomes removing, containing and utilizing those purified, freshly bonded H3 molecules while still in their highly agitated state, should this premise prove valid.
