But you've not even done the simple thing of showing the concept is technically feasible!
If you cannot even present some numbers then what is the sense of it. What if numbers say the beam needs to be 100,000 km across? At least we can decide which issues need facing. You are still going to say 'but it is still a concept'. No. It isn't. Humans have already DONE breakeven fusion, but it came in an impractical package.
Bottom line. JC - your idea is nonsense. I have gone to the trouble of examining and listing every experimental attempt at fusion, and yours is a daft idea that lacks basic understanding of; magnetics, quantum tunneling, beam instabilities, emittance growth, Gauss' Law and a zillion other elementary concepts.
It is a badly thought out, unsupportable word salad. My 6 year old has come up with better fusion schemes.
No-one here is coming to discuss this idea with you. No one is 'defending' it against my comments. Why am I the one to receive your contempt just because I'm the one who has picked up on it to discuss?
Come up with some numbers, or stop posting. Don't post anything that is likely to draw me into another post. Done. Finished.
