To create fields necessary for containment requires heavy duty magnets. The conductors in these magnets respond poorly to excess heat. Some new materials, according to an article I have read have been developed in Europe, but to date nothing can contain such a reaction. Any ideas on how to dissipate the energy quickly in a controlled reaction chamber? The main problem I see with these fusion and antimatter reactors is containment and excess heat.

If this antimatter hydrogen were injected into a confined field of tritium, could this start a fusion reaction? It could be used for a fusion reactor then, and less antimatter would be necessary for an energy source to be attained. Sort of a bridging point between purely anti-matter reactors. Or am I way off base? The math isn't so complicated on this. I will check it out. ttyl Could this be a means of starting a fusion reaction?
