Hello Paul!
Replying to a message of Paul Muehlbauer to John Meroth:
 PM> Interesting. I thought these fusion plants needed fision to achieve
 PM> the heat & pressure to keep the fusion going. They must have done
 PM> some interesting things over the past 15 years that I've never paid
 PM> attention to. I guess I lost interest in the whole fusion thing when
 PM> someone said they will barely produce a few percent of energy over
 PM> what they consume. I should have continued to pay attention. :)
I'm not sure how the reaction is triggered, but fission is NOT used to kick 
it off.
 JM>> Fuel cells running on hydrogen or alcohol are much more
 JM>> efficient and, IMNSHO, will be the solution to the electric
 JM>> auto's problem.
 PM> According to a press release I saw on the internet, Chrysler just made
 PM> a big advance in using gasoline to produce hydrogen to run a fuel
 PM> cell. Sounded like the power to wieght ratio would be a lot better
 PM> than heavy hydrogen tanks.
Very interesting. I wonder what the waste products are in the process.
TTYL,
