No problem, Nosmoke. Lee’s program is designed to teach plasma physics in countries that lack the budget to build tokamaks. Their main use seems to be making X-rays for integrated circuit wafer plant photolithography. Lerner designed FoFu-1 specifically as the third and final scaling experiment to verify his and Aaron B’s theory that the DPF could fuse hydrogen and boron-11 for commercial power generation. Our chief advantage over the other pB-11 designs is that we don’t need to build electromagnets. We may also have something of an edge in detail of the theory, but that’s just my speculation.

Yes, the ion beam is fusion products, rather than either of the fuel ions.

I’d like to see the 5MW expressed as lower voltage and higher current, but we have to work with what the plasmoid and coils send us. Maybe some smoke and mirrors with paralleled coils and or phase shifting?
