Magnetic Field and Radiation, Orbit Landing Test (Part 2)

This was like a mini internal combustion engine at first glance.

As long as the structure and materials were fine, a cylinder body the size of a fingernail could be made and operated successfully.

But when he reduced the nuclear fusion reactor to the size of a washing machine, he encountered a serious problem.

The Q value would turn negative.

The fusion reaction was fine, as was everything else, but due to the limited size of the central chamber, the input and output were disproportionate. The key factor was the heating of the high-temperature plasma.

If the temperature wasn't high enough, the fusion reaction would stop.

To maintain the temperature for fusion, continuous input was needed.

However, the energy input exceeded the energy produced by fusion, making it unfeasible.

The limit of thermonuclear fusion.

Tang Rui looked at the data on the screen and sighed helplessly.
