I’m nowhere near the physicist it would take to even know if Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities even affect FocusFusion. All I know is that both experiments are Z-pinch based. Is there any applicability of this info on FoFu-1?
Please consider two points:
1. This demonstrates that progress and innovation is occurring in the fusion field.
2. LPPx showed the effectiveness of a small axial magnetic field to improve the intensity of a pinch. This is similar.
Well, similar in the concept of small magnetic fields being capable of having a beneficial effect in the midst of far more powerful fields.
But just as a Focus Fusion DPF and a MagLIF device are very different devices, the small fields that each uses and their respective purposes are also very different.
