A hygn & deut fusion reactor which achieves a more compact design than my other tokamak and stellarator reactors through the use of ptnm catalyzed cold fusion. Raise the reactor temp to 500+C, add hygn, and extract the ptnm control rods to start fusion.

    The reactor should work fine at temps under 1768C, the melting point of the platinum in the core. The deuterium does sometimes spike the temperature quickly, so i've found that the reactor works best when pulsed instead of run continuously.

    it just explodes when it fuses.

    I updated the gas heat exchanger, It functions a lot better now.

    I do agree with that, the adiabatic gas heat exchanger has a bad habit of jamming up, and it also doesnt do a very good job of cooling down the exhaust. Separating the two gas sections with a wall and adding a secondary glow coolent heat exhanger would probably fix everything. I'll see what I can do.

    Very nice! Though the intake/exhaust filter bit seems to clog easily unless I modify it to remove excess material or carefully watch it to ensure it doesn't clog during operation.

    I would love to recreate muon catalyzed fusion if it was actually modeled in TPT.

    Oh nice, I saw his video series on that too. It's pretty much the only reason I know much about the history of cold fusion at all lol.

    Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons were the first two proponents for palladium catalyzed cold fusion, so I'd imagine they would be the ones most upset that in the end their idea didn't work.
