...Friday Fractured Farside Fusion funniness ... Fusion takes place in our sun and other stars at temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius, where hydrogen is converted to helium and so on. In order to accomplish fusion, the protons involved must overcome electrostatic repulsion to get

Hi Jones, A littler bird hopped onto my shoulder and suggested I take a closer look at your most recent essay. From: Jones Beene ...Friday Fractured Farside Fusion funniness ... As always, great political satire here. ... Density (particles/cm3) x Time (sec) = 10^16 (Deuterium-Deuterium

Hi Steven, In layman's terms you saying the density of deuterons in a loaded Pd sample (at 1:1) is FAR MORE dense than the equivalent number of deuterons being contained within a hot-fusion process? Yes, the plasma density of hot fusion would be in the range of 10^14 while the Pd matrix
