Jolly Roger wrote: According to information in the patent application, the maximum net output of each reactor vessel is 5 MW Alpha beam and 2 MW X-rays. With conversion losses, that would be about 5 – 6 MW electricity. However, the capacitor bank, which is the most massive component, can power up to 500 reactor vessels, so total installation output could be as high as 2.5 – 3 GW.
A 2,000 TW application would require 666,667 – 800,000 FF installations.
I will leave it to others with more information to correct mine and/or calculate the mass and volume.
Big then, could be interesting
Is there any scalable possibility for the technology?
