#1 Hey Darth thanks for the post. I have always been interested in fusion and the promise it has. There will be many other developments I am certain that will compete with this technology. I could not find what material is used to contain plasma. Super magnet- that has always been used to contain the plasma. Some sort of barrier other than super magnet must insulate from having any migration of plasma. Pitting of metal containment wall was always the biggest issue. I say this because the super magnet has to be cooled as other items as well. Size and weight were issues also. I see a day when energy is transmitted in one form or another and units simply receive signal energy to operate. No direct physical contact. Better yet converting energy we are bombarded with 24/7 (not just solar). I like to keep things simple.
