The size of FoFu-1 was calculated to be near optimal. When they switch to the pB11 from deuterium the electrodes will need to be swapped out for even smaller ones as I understand it.

Yes, that sounds right. When dealing with DPF, bigger is not better. It’s the intensity of “focus” which generates the necessary conditions for pB11 fusion long enough to produce an energetic collapse.
