From Bob Mumgaard at the All-In Summit: Nuclear fusion and the potential for energy abundance
- Concept produces actually fully ionized plasmas (Paper airplane)
- The plasma can be heated (1 keV electrons) (Montgolfier brothers)
- The plasma approaches fusion conditions (triple product > 1E19 keV/m3/s) (Manned gliders)
- Net gain energy is demonstrated (Q>1) (Wright brothers)
- Net electricity is produced (Douglas)
- Plant has competitive LCOE (Boeing)
