Achieving fusion through centrifugal confinement

submitted by prototype to science 2.4 yearsDec 13, 2022 19:22:19 ago (+1/-1)     (science)

Initial paper is here:
https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.1350957

back of the napkin math says for a 100cm radius, with a 1kg mass, researchers need
on the order of 2 million RPM (but I'm a completely newb at these calculatiions).
Highest end ultracentrifuge I saw mentioned, achieved 1 million RPM
but that was a blurb from google, so who knows.

What about a cyclotron?

Isn't that what a particle accelerator is?

Whats lacking is efficiency and miniaturization. Each order of magnitude improvement should open up new applications.
