Looking up Q, we see:
The fusion energy gain factor, usually expressed with the symbol Q, is the ratio of fusion power produced in a nuclear fusion reactor to the power required to maintain the plasma in steady state.
How does this relate to LPPX’s DPF?
Similar discussion at this thread. Mergeable?
This definition doesn’t work very well with the DPF process. Since DPF’s are never really in a steady state. I wonder if some alternative definition would work better ?
