    yes, but they can't be sustained over time, which is how to produce a continual net-gain of energy.

    That is your problem!

    Think about it.........the integration of more and more "fusion instants" would transform our labs into solar-interiors, which vaporize under "Earth" conditions.

    That is exactly what's been happening.

    You are talking Hamiltonian integration. Why dont you try Lagrangian differentiation, i.e., the subtraction of "fusion instants?"

    The fusion engine won't work for a very simple reason, you always need to pump more energy into it in order to get more energy out of it and it is a logarithmically increasing requirement. Therefore it can never be self-sustaining. A good metaphor would be the acelleration of the expanding universe.

    Thumbs down What tripe!

    Scoopcone,

    RE: your TOE

    This is about as far removed from a theory of everything as anything I've ever read. No, as a matter of fact, it is not even a theory of anything!
