If decaborane is used for trials this means that fouling will likely occur as the chamber temperatures are at room temperature. I was wondering if a solid fuel rod of solid boron was placed in the area of plasmoid formation that it could supply as much boron as required. since the plasmoid has lots of little electrons whizzing about and little hydrogen ions zipping round and round they could crash directly into a stationary object. I had an idea of a mechanism like a mechanical pencil with a boron filament that could be replenished by a little click if you wanted more, just protruding through the end of the anode. a kind of fusion fuel dispenser. this way the only gas in the chamber would be hydrogen and hopefully a growing amount of helium. boron has a high melting temperature so with a billion degree electron stripping off a few boron atoms or fusing on the side of the filament you will not have a noxious fouling gas to contend with. I believe the fuel density would go up considerably into the solid realm without having to change many parameters. in this way the hydrogen gas pressure would be the only parameter to adjust. that is if the plasmoid doesn’t care if it has a boron stick in one end.
I know that as the work is progressing and plans have been made to use decaborane, is there a material that could be painted on or used as a liner in order to make it easy to clean the chamber after testing? maybe some sort of liner or spray on non stick cooking oil? lol..
