A quick rundown on what's out there. Didn't cover everything, like the Focus fusion device, nor the Bussard device. ( polywell )
The failure to cover these indicate to me a weakness. Yet, the video gets all the views. Why is that?
To answer that question, those processes are harder to understand. It was for me, anyway, and so I think the case could extrapolate to the general public.
The polywell doesn't heat up a plasma. The others require heating up a plasma to millions of degrees, and then controlling the plasma, which is a difficult feat to accomplish. The polywell is underfunded, as well. Isn't it a shame that people may ignore a promising area of research because the concept is hard to understand?
