So, what I really want to know if finding such angular momentum is turning out so troublesome that might lead focusfusion completely impractical for generating energy, and this is the cause for the delayed news.
no. finding that sweet spot, the right amount of angular momentum, will be the easy part.
afaik, the current activities are focused on getting switches firing precisely in sync, and preparing for decaborane fuel.
