Display MoreThe last serious paper (> 1 year ago) I read about Hora was full of best cases scenarios like the direct collections of electrical energy out of an Alpha particle stream. Nobody did show this for a blast stream so far...It works for a homogenous stream.
The trigger energy for 11B +H fusion is about 300'000 eV's compared to about 100eV needed for 7Li...
Thus the main problem to solve is the same as ITER has. How long can he contain/stabilize the ignited fuel? I would say there is no chance as the outcome is highly kinetic alphas. Thus it's just shockwave fusion for one shot. Then he has to wait a long time for a next shot...
It's all about doing fancy research. 10 years is very optimistic and if he uses private capital then he will feel the deadline... But at least they don't leave us an ITER like present with 100'000 tons of activated waste....
feeding a stabilize ignited fuel to an EVO magnetron should not be that hard to accomplish.
