For a more in depth discussion, start a thread in the forums.I didnt saw any license, I hope you dont mind i posted the video to youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byf5_e2W8Hs And a.lso put a request to slashdot it.
It really needs a readme file explaining what the various images are. The average viewer is not going to know what a “barn” is or have any inkling how to read the logarithimic scale in that graph, for example.
Explanation to the pictures.
DPF.jpg
The DPF with energy converting coil and X-ray collector
shell and a coil for inducing rotation momentum.
p+B11.gif

A new animation of the p+B fusion. In the first animation
the decay of the fusion product has only one step. That
error is corrected here making it more realistic in two
steps.
P+B11C12*+He4
C12*2He4
In the real world there is one step more with an electron
capture turning C12* to Be12, before it become 2He4.
Z-machine2a.gif

The Z machines at Sandia have got good results reaching a
temperature of 3 billion degrees probably due to the magnet
field effect. A gigantic electric current goes through a cage
of iron treads. The iron plasma is pinched to the central
tube containing fusion fuel. The fusion fuel is hit by the
iron plasma and heated by x-rays from the iron plasma. But
the fusion plasma is not significantly cooled by the x-ray
emission. It has been shown that the electrons are
significantly cooler than the ions. This can be a sign of the
magnetic field effect. For more info look at Learners talk
at Google.
Columb barrier.jpg
Illustration of the electric potential repulsion on a proton
from a boron nucleus.
Inside this is an attractive potential well from the strong
nuclear force. A simple way of thinking is the protons as
ball rolling on a curved surface. To get fusion the proton
must have speed enough to roll up the surrounding barrier
D+T.gif
Animation of the deuterium + tritium reaction. This makes
energetic neutrons and He4.
D+D.gif
Animation of the deuterium + deuterium reactions. Observe that it is
two different reactions, one makes a proton and a He3, and one
makes a neutron and tritium.
DD_FusonFule.jpg
The energy density in fusion fuel is here illustrated by
common water. Only 1% of the hydrogen is deuterium but the
energy of the deuterium in 1 litre equivalent
to 300 litres of gasoline.
E=mc2.jpg
The mass of the fusion reactants in this case a proton and
boron is bigger than the mass of the fusion products in this
case three helium4. The mass difference have been converted
to energy according to the famous equation by Einstein
E2. For the boron proton reaction the energy is in form
of kinetic energy of the three He4.
ENERGY2.jpg
This is pictures of 4 different energy futures. Naturally it
may be possible to combine parts of them. From up left.
1. Big scale solar shoving different solar capturing
technology in large area in a desert land.
2. Advance nuclear (fission) alternatives. There are new generations
of nuclear power on the way that are more safe and can utilise
uranium more effectively, use thorium or burn nuclear
waste. There are also methods in development to get uranium
from seawater.
3.Conventional Fusion. A huge tokamak reactor burning DT
fuel.
4. Alternative fusion. Small cheap reactors using neutron
free fuels can be faster to develop than conventional fusion.
The picture shows a Plasma Focus devise and a Polly
well.
