Re: More than the core Transfer heat to turbines

If you was in a plane wouldn't you want to just transfer the energy to directly drive the damn thing?

One thing though - if we are smart enough to contain a violently dynamic fusion reaction surly we should be able to contain a simple combustion plasma in some form of magnetic resonator and extract the energy from that. That way we could burn coal at near 100% efficiency and have an almost pure stream of the CO2 and other noxious gasses straight for underground disposal?
