Comment on Zap Energy achieves 37M-degree temperatures in a compact fusion device

Comments

For a non-maxwellian temperature distribution plasma like in a z-pinch bragging about 3kev is weird. Other pulsed fusion mechanism like plasma focus have achieved 100kev.

You only brag about 30 million degrees if it's a thermal temperature distribution plasma (and moreso if it's steady state and not pulsed like this).
