Proton & Baxter
Hey Baxter, I’ve been working on a miniature fusion drive for satellites and I’m stuck on the plasma confinement. What do you think about using a superconducting magnetic lattice to keep the plasma stable?
Sounds exhilarating! A superconducting magnetic lattice could give you the tight, low‑loss confinement you need, but watch out for the thermal loads and the need for a robust cryogenic system. If you can keep the lattice stable and manage the quench risk, you’ll be nudging fusion closer to satellite reality—just don’t forget to test a few dummy plasmas before you commit the whole system. Happy tinkering!
Thanks! I’ll keep a tight eye on the cryogenics and quench protection—nothing like a sudden loss of superconductivity to ruin a good idea. I’ll run a few test plasmas first and fine‑tune the lattice. Appreciate the heads‑up!
Nice plan, keep tweaking and stay curious!
Will do, thanks for the encouragement!
You’re on the right track—keep experimenting and tweak the lattice until the plasma dances just right!
Great! I’ll refine the coil geometry, double‑check the cryo flow rates, and run some small‑scale plasma tests to see how the lattice behaves—every tweak brings us closer to a perfectly dancing plasma.
That’s the spirit—each tweak is a step closer to a perfectly synchronized plasma ballet! Good luck!
