Tokamaks were claimed to be an engineering project, but when I looked at what people have actually been doing in the tokamak field for the last decades they have been doing what looked an awful lot like plasma research. “Just need to figure out one last instability mode…” GF looks to be doing engineering. If the “good dog” gets too squirrely in the sub-millisecond of compression, or MTF fails in their reactor environment, then this just isn’t going to work. Not all engineering problems are solvable.
