When I was a very young man in 1961-2 I studied in what started as the
Thermonuclear Physics Laboratory and Sydney University but quickly became
the Plasma Physics Laboratory. It seems to have been another 20 years to go
before we get thermoclear power for most of my life.
There has been progress though. After a few decades we managed to get more
energy produced than we put in for a few milliseconds. The record is now a
few minutes.The BIG problem will be in the engineering. How do you get the
energy out of something that is hotter than the centre of the Sun when
NOTHING is solid. I think engineering will be a bigger problem than
physics. Then comes economics....
In the end all this comes down to boiling water that runs a turbine which
runs a generator.
