[QUOTE="artis, post: 6442382, member: 652341"] [USER=15685]@Astronuc[/USER] I'm still finishing reading some other papers but I already got the one on top you linked , so pardon me if I'm asking what is already said in those papers. Do you happen to know the pressure of D-T gas inside the liner? Assuming it's a 50/50 mixture. I wonder what is the compression ratio of the imploding liner because the liner compression seems analogous to other forms of mechanical pressure apparatus like a piston and cylinder only with a different geometry. Would it be fair to say that the key in such inertial confinement techniques is how fast one compresses the fuel to ignition conditions because if the compression is too slow the gas has time to "thermalize" or give of heat to the surroundings and in such escaping the breakeven temp and pressure necessary for any fusion burn?
