Vis and Vis :
A guess about why fission is impractical: 1. Fission fuel is heavy. 2. If a rocket blows up mid-launch, radioactive debris goes everywhere.

Who needs fusion when I have my Scooty Puff Jr.?

Normal Town Tommy :
It seems like the energy to compress the atoms together and create the magnetic containment fields would be greater than the energy created by fusion.

I was watching your video on YouTube and thought, “isn’t her phD focus -plasma physics?” Then a minute later you confirmed it. So more than anyone else I’ve heard on this subject, you’re the expert in my opinion. Great series!

Helion has a really promising approach

You should do something on muon catalyzed fusion…the only likely mechanism that is practical

There is science and mystery that humanity has not unlocked yet. Humanity hasn't even unlocked peaceful existence with itself.

I look forward to your videos ❤️

Why wouldn’t you use antimatter reactions instead of fusion? Doesn’t antimatter provide more energy?

Luis Mattos319 :
To accelerate a rocket up to 3.5% of the speed of light it would take a long time not because of fuel or thrust limitations but because a living being couldn’t take such acceleration in a short time span. Let’s not forget it will need to decelerate long before reaching destination.

You said the particles produced by fusion are charged and so can be controlled by magnets but neutrons aren't charged? Maybe I'm missing something?

Really enjoying this series. Thank you.

Kwame Okyere :
Why do you go far for fusion drive if mere radio waves oscillation can create plasma enough to accelerate the plasma through confined magnetic field and exits it outward.

I love the way to explain that!

does fusion have the same radiation issues as fission?

Do we have a speed more than the speed of light???

Alex Martins :
Sorry for the engineer question but, what about the neutrons? The shielding of the engine chamber would have to be massive, right? And still would suffer heavy damage requiring a lot of maintenance I think. You're not likely to have missed that so, what did I miss?

the day we master fusion and control it, humanity will be beyond type 1 C automatically..

Aaron :
Q: since neutrons are uncharged, would the high velocity neutrons damage the chamber as they’d escape magnetic confinement?

What about the next level up, is energy released when a proton/neutron is split into quarks? Is this a theoretical possibility?

Derek Knox :
I'm curious, can you make a dual reactor where you fuse the atom then split it again over and over?
