Any ideas about what this might possibly mean?:
But this company’s fusion reaction, fueled by deuterium and tritium, isn’t nearly as high temperature, our source claims, and is more “rooted in nature.” Specifically, the reaction is said not to require the high temperature, high pressure or accelerated particles of others’ approaches. “The key is not how many neutron hits you generate, but how you sustain them, how well you can control them.”
In some ways it reminds me of Star Scientific Limited, which is researching muon-catalyzed fusion. They’ve been generating some buzz recently due to some YouTube videos and their chairman’s blog, but have been pretty close-mouthed about any specific breakthroughs they might have made.
Whoever they are, they claim to be generating a megawatt of power from 40 watts of input power. That’s scientific breakeven at least, even if they aren’t generating electricity yet, but I’d like some assurance this is not another Huemul or ZETA before I congratulate them.
