Scalability of a reactor?
What about the pulse rate?
If 330 Hz produces 5 MW could the pulse rate be dialed up to 660 Hz with output at 10 MW?
How about 3.2 GHz with output at 48 TW? 😛
Nice try, but the maximum rate is largely determined by the ability to cool the system. Just like computer chips.
Sounds like an interesting cost/benefit chart for pressurized helium vs super-cooled helium cooling. The questions would be where it becomes cost-effective, and how much electric output is THE limit?
Let’s not forget that the ion converter coils have to be made of tubing to cool what may be a kilo amp output, even at 5MW.
