>isn’t your proposal a lot like the horribly expensive tokamaks in the need to apply an exterior magnetic field?
it has the common requirement of an external electric or magnetic field, yes, but so does FF1.
>FF is proven. It creates fusion.
So does safire. But Monty wasn’t expecting it so soon, give him chance to write it up. His schedule was already set : results released summer 2017.
> CF has a lot of work to get where FF is now.
By what measure is FF so far ahead of CF? Both are reporting nuclear reactions of the lightest nuclei. FF research has more accumulated hours, but CF research has a shorter path to fusion power than FF. The energy capture for a CF device can be the same as used for FF.
> I believe it may prove quite difficult to outwardly apply the type of natural magnetic field that occurs naturally in quasars.
If that is the case then it affects FF and CF equally. Both are called a’ quasar in a bottle ‘ or ‘ star in a jar ‘.
You seem to think creating magnetic and electric fields is hard or expensive for modern engineers. It isn’t either.
And ( I may regret bringing this up ) CF has better establishment backing and better funding prospects than FF. CF can hide under the cloak of ‘solar modelling research’, while FF is a straight up attempt to create practically free energy for all. Energy companies want to monetize energy, not make it free, so FF is always going to be on a shoestring budget.

Note one of aspects of the corona they are researching is how the corona stores and discharges energy. In line with what I was saying months ago, this is a crucial part of how the corona creates fusion.
– they didn’t initially set out to research this, they just found it among the most fascinating aspects of corona physics.
