Pulsing would be the way to beat Thermalization. Given enough time, the ion cloud always thermalizes. As I understand it, Once it thermalizes, it's over. It will not work.
Can we beat this by pulsing? someone needs to figure this out.
I will pass your comments along to people who know more than me and see what they say.
I've read about the thermalization problem. Once the electron cloud reaches "diamagnetism", Is there a way to greatly pulse the magnetic field coils to keep the electron cloud from "cooling off"?
The idea is to temporarily "squish" the electron cloud and then quickly let up on the magnetic field to loosen the electrons and then "squish" them again. Of course this will have to happen very rapidly perhaps many times per milliseconds.
As I understand it, Your Right.
