IIRC creating muons is not that hard, but the fusion ratio was too small anyway. I still think combining it with some weak containment might work… I guess it doesn't and this is why it's not worked on anymore


Yeah I don't know anything at all but it does make me wonder if you could use the energy created by the muon-catalyzed fusion to push a lower-temp hot plasma into fusing over the edge. Almost like hierarchical catalysis of fusion.

Again per your observation, if it had any value we would do it so i'm missing one to many major things. I just enjoy thinking about it.
