Inertial Fusion Energy Based Power Plants
This concept can lead to the design of inertial fusion energy based power plants. The laser system we're needing is not a small laser system. It is a large facility. I mean, we're talking stadium sized lasers. We have to do a significant amount of engineering development because we need to run them at 10 times per second instead of one time a day. But that's just engineering at this point. That's not there. There's a lot of engineering. There is no... You've got the physics down. We've got theysics down. Yeah. As you can see, we just flew through a flock of geese and I want to let you know that our inflight
