SAN JOSE, Calif. - Continuing its aggressive fab expansion efforts, Intel Corp. on Friday (Feb. 18) announced plans to invest more than $5 billion to build a new chip manufacturing facility at its site in Chandler, Ariz.
Maybe nothing. But, as usual, I think about things. So, I wonder about this: what if you could replicate what polywell attempts to do by confining electrons and do it on the nanoscale? Chipmakers routinely design chips with features in the nanometer scale. Why not use this technology to make something that could enable fusion on the nanometer scale? Impossible? Maybe.
I was thinking if there was a way to bring enough energy to bear on one small point at one time and if that energy would be enough to cause fusion. Duplicate that over an entire "chip" and maybe you can design a fusion chip.
This idea isn't Rossi Focardi's idea, I'm sure. Relatively speaking, Rossi's device may be crude in comparison to what it may become in the future.
