I need to update these figures. I realized I have been comparing OverUnity Apples to UnderUnity Oranges. Up until this week, Controlled Hot Fusion (CHF) experiments haven't even broken overunity, let alone ignition.
*Nuclear fusion hits energy milestone*<http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3122281/posts> http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/nuclear-fusion-hits-energy-milestone-1.2534140 "The final reaction took place in a tiny "hot spot" about half the width of a human hair over about a ten thousandth of a millionth of a second. It released 17.3 kilojoules - almost double the amount absorbed by the fuel." look again at the two side by side: cold fusion 2 * 3600 seconds average * 1/2* 300 Mjoules (Max) * 14,700 replications / $300k average = 105840 sec*MjouleSamples/$ Hot fusion 0.5 seconds*10^-9 average * 1/2* 17.3KK joules (max) * 20 replications / $2 Billion average = 0.0000000000000000003 sec*MjouleSamples/$ That is now 25 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more bang for the buck.
