Yep, I misread the text. Just versed enough to ask questions just ignorant enough to ask them all. 🙂

If you are looking for uses for the waste heat from your reactor, why are you not considering a turbine?

Well, I think its impressive. True, just because you produce more energy than you consume does not necessarily mean you can extract it (esp with a heat exchanger). Since the Carnot Eff is 50 percent (MAX) if I produce 3 thermo-watts more than I put into the system I still won’t have enough power to make a decent cup of coffee. Still, the Wright brothers only flew 100 ft and 50 years later we were flying at Mach.

Thank you. Is there a formula for figuring out the required of a device based on its size? I assume the parameters will be related to the interelectrode potential and the magnetic flux of the field. ( I tried to write some extremely rough draft equation but the forum does not appear to use MathJax.)

Interesting. The abstract says that this DPF is a neutron source. Then it is not a B-p device. What is the “fuel”? Protonium? Dueterium? Tritium?

This should give me a little more familiarity with DPF design. Thanks.

BTW this is still in the design phase obviously. I am not going to start the build yet… much math and research still required.

Actually it was Google tech talks

Sorry about that.

As a Power pro ( USAF) I have experience with high voltage equipment and am reasonably competent around hot equipment. I didn’t think about the corrosion aspect of black iron pipe but could see how that would be a major problem. Would cast aluminum work better, I live near Reading Cast Aluminum, so I have a supplier here in PA. The caps maybe a problem but I hear Ebay is a good source for high farad caps.

Has anyone tried to set up a feedback loop in a DPF? Tapping the negative jet to charge the capacitor bank? or somehting along those lines?

Ok, what about stacking a DPF iwth a focus device so that the electron beam of the former feeds the plasmoid of the latter. Admittedly I am throwing crap at the wall here but maybe something will stick.
