What am I missing?
That’s pretty much what I was thinking, Jowabea, but this machine’s fine print involves a touch of quantum physics that prevent the x-rays from excessively cooling the plasmoid. This alters the flight plan, of course, since at least the x-rays leave hyperspace wherever they want to….
Also, the electrodes are around 13 inches long, so the geometry is more cylindrical than spherical.
