Fun with fusion neutrons time-of-flight measurements ⚛️😎 (Helps measure ion confinement time)
Yes, fun, and an important statistic . Id like to see your sensors
Robin Langtry how fast might that be?

3moWe've been studying the materials on the Orbitron reactor in the last two days. It is a well-forgotten method of inertial electrostatic confinement of plasma, which was proposed in the 40s of the last century. In the Orbitron reactor, the guys propose to use high-frequency oscillations of ions in a magnetic field to increase the efficiency of the fusion reaction. We are not sure how workable it will be and what the efficiency of this method will be, but we see the main disadvantage is that they will have neutrons at the output and they will have a huge number of them. For example to get 1 kW you would need to get at least 1.6E15 pieces with energies of 4 MeV. Here you would need a heavy blanket capable of absorbing these neutrons and converting their kinetic energy into thermal energy and then into electricity with huge losses. We propose a fundamentally different way - direct generation of electricity from plasma in water vapor through LENR process without neutron generation at all.
