Reply To: Okay, Let's Stop The BAKE SALE mentality and get SERIOUS

It is a tough sell for focused fusion because an Electric vehicle crowed is primarily interested in the environment, sustainability and clean and renewable power sources wind solar and farmed fuels.

Therefore it tells me that things about nuclear power should be dealt with caution. I suggest also that NoNeutronic fusion is used instead of Aneutronic which is a bit unclear, and Noneutronic is also easier to pronounce I believe in other languages(my guess).
Plasma Power should be the selling name for a crowed where anything nuclear spells DISASTER. The actual noneutronic fusion reaction is easy explainable if these 4 points are emphasized i think.

The selling points to my mind should be on what we can do, to the electricity situation, not what we can’t do with the obvious limitations of alternative power sources:

1. Sustainability. (with cheap plasma power renewables will also be much cheaper, because renewable are very resource demanding, water power, space, and not least time consuming, designing newer and better versions and also putting them up and building them. Everyting requires power….)
2. Safety. The plasma power plant is TINY TINY TINY. It runs sort of like a petrol engine with fuel injected in a combustion chamber in very small doses and therefore cannot run astray as in a chain reaction, as in the “dangerous” fission plants. It also doesn’t need a boiler because of direct power production (genius part!)
3. Environmental. The fuel is basically water!!! Hello! Is that not a bit of news that deserves headlines or what?! The other fuel is of cause boron which is (I belive) in enough supply to cover humanity for thousands of years with predicted power consumption growth.
4. Success. We (focused fusion society) is ALREADY SUCESSFUL! The experiment is already up and running it is not sci-fi. The tests already far exceed those of other huge national and international experiments. The problems are completely known and a plasma plants cost are specified, and it is again tiny compared to ITER…. SO we don’t need much, due to the 3 previous stated points so you can easily help the sustainable EV industry put by helping us!

I don’t think more points than 4 is appropriate. There of cause needs to be small images of the lab and plasma plant design, and very important a visualized scale model a one. Also the test results compared with others should be available.
