Just to clarify, given that D-D reactions require much less energy and have a greater power density than p-B11 reactions, is it possible that goal 2 will actually involve the generation of net energy (even if that energy is in a form that isn’t practical to capture with the device)?
A more general question (which is perhaps appropriate for a different thread) is how potentially versatile is the FF approach as far as fuels go? I understand the strong desire for aneutronic, direct electrical generation, and that seems like the ideal goal to me. But can the FF system be potentially used successfully (i.e., over unity) with other types of reactions?
