I don't have the knowledge to run the fusion calcs. However, think about Nagasaki for instance. In 1-millionth of a sec temps exceeded 10 million degrees, this was considering a reaction that exceeded 5 billion bars at detonation and went into 1 bar territory. It took only 1millionth of a sec...

Physics puzzle: A 1" radius 7 billion K temp. ball is activated inside Jupiter... Physics puzzle: A 1" radius, 7 billion K temp. fireball is activated inside Jupiter...from an artificially induced fission reaction of .04kt. It is activated deep enough into Jupiter to be under 40,000,000...

Taking the sun, for example: central density 160 g/cm-3 central temp 15,000,000 K qraal, according to your numbers, the sun would not be able to hold its central fusion. It would need 400 billion bars of pressure, and the estimate for its center is 100 - 250 billion bars. I may have some...

A side note to this question: IF such a ball of fusion could be created artificially inside a gas giant, would it, by default, have a density less than the atmosphere above it (or liquid hydrogen above it) and therefore try to "float to the top", or would it create "simulated density" because...

Thanks all for your responses, good information!

When you say relatively quickly, are you imagining a few months, or a few years...? What would we see first as evidence at the surface, what would we see next?...any guesses? Thanks for your responses!

There is sufficient pressure. To sustain fusion, to contain the nuclei, etc., it only takes about 3 million bars, assume we have 30 million bars of pressure at the point where the fusion temp. spark was initiated. Assume we are near the center of the planet at 30 million bars of pressure. 3...

The internal pressure you talk of is that required to raise the TEMPERATURE TO START fusion spontaneously. We are assuming this rule has been bypassed because the TEMPERATURE SPARK has been supplied artificially with outside technology. It's a theoretical situation. Assume the pressure to...

Theoretical situation: Temperatures at a point near the center of a gas giant of another star system have been artificially raised by local ET intelligence in order to achieve the heat to begin the fusion process. The planet has enough internal pressure to sustain the fusion process and it...
