I think this approach to fusion is silly. I also think the Tokamak approach is
overwrought. I will give a possible to do this in di

problem solving, one's engineering work will naturally suffer.

That depends on how much money is put into liquid fuel thorium reactor R&D,
it would take a hell of a lot of money to make it practical but a lot less

Doesn't the laser pulse just vaporize the gold coating which in turn
compresses and heats the pellet?

This result means the energy delivered from the laser shock wave on a
deuterium pellet was .67 the fusion energy released. It does not take into
account the much larger amounts of energy needed to run the laser system,
energy that does not make it to the pellet. This is a breakthrough of
sorts,
Rumors say the US National Ignition Facility, using high-power lasers, has
for the first time made a controlled nuclear fusion reaction that produced more
energy than it consumes and the output was so much greater than expected it
damaged some of the diagnostic equipment. The energy department that
