Intermittent Fusion Rocket

Featured Replies

so basically you just copied the orion drive, replace lasers with even more power hungry ion accelerators and hope nobody would notice this bit plagiarism?

 

Additional, on further reading, there was a variant that uses electron beams to ignite the fusion pellet.

 

the only significant differences i can see between the two drives is that square wants to inject the fuel in a plasma state rather than in a pellet. which i imagine would be rather inefficient due the vacuum of space and the tendency of positive charges to repel.

As indicated in my webpage, the electrons emitted from the rods have the role to neutralize the cation plasma and suppress the repulsive interaction among cations.

still isn't going to behave like you think it is. not to mention you are ripping off the designs of other people nearly exactly.

note the innefficient accelerator mechanism, inductive acceleration will not achieve fusion. few accererators do. you'd be better off strapping a plasma drive to a tokamac.
