Right now, I think LPP is focusing on getting reliable power output from the switches and capacitors for about 1 shot per every few hours.. and getting the jitter down. I don’t think they will be focusing too hard on getting cycle rates up to 200 Hz and the cycle life up to trillions of shots before replacement… until the feasibility of the physics is established. Are the other PF devices trying to redesign switches and caps for this purpose yet?
I know Eric mentioned getting new switches from Raytheon… but I don’t know what improvements he hopes for.
Eric? and elaboration on that?
