i meant the explosive lens of the primary, not the primary itself. The lens is formed by the shock waves of normal explosives moving at 10km/s. We know that that isn't enough to spark the fusion. Thus the question - can their pistons generate the better dynamics than the explosive lens? They have to in order to spark the fusion. If they can - then how?


Explosives are single use. GF's promotional videos say one fusion reaction per second.
