When will those faggots at Sandia make solid state neutristors already so we can finally do away with vacuum tubes in nukes? It's the 21st century for god's sake.
>>65495187You to kewl for krytrons?
>>65495200*too
>>65495187They already do?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutristor
>>65495200Stacked MOSFETs already mog krytrons in almost every respect and photoconductive switches are even better.
>>65495250the neutristor in your picture is enclosed in a vacuum, it works kind of like an x ray tube but deuterium is accelerated instead of electrons and when it strikes a deuterium target it makes neutrons instead of x raysanyways that's a deuterium-deuterium neutristors, a nuke would use a deuterium-tritium neutristor
>>65495340Does it matter how they are made as long as you get your neutrons? They are also developing a non vacuum one.
>>65495250article mentions solid state stuff. why didnt we use solid state stuff for HDD's in the past? we had transistors since the 60's, but spinning HDD's we had since like... the 80's? (bulgarians in the warsaw pact produced spinny hdds)
>>65495187Why, in the near 28 years the Z Machine has been around, have we not yet seen video of it running and only the still photos?
>>65495360>Does it matter how they are made as long as you get your neutrons?To an autist that desperately wants to discuss an extremely niche topic that he just learned about recently, yes. To the rest of the world, not really, as long as it's reliable, which legacy devices are.
>>65495898do we have z machine deniers yet? there've been moon landing deniers since day one
>>65495898The video wouldn't be as cool as the photos. The eddy currents generated from pulsing (seen as lightning bolts in the photos) only last a few milliseconds at most.
>>65497326Yes, but to watch the lasers pulse would be cool
>>65497176Probably, but my guess is the Z Machine is too niche - can't get any clout by being against something that you'd have to spend 20 minutes explaining to normies.
>>65495898We do?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMI_n6MyaIsObviously you can't see what's going on inside, but there is video of it.
