You might want to also look at what can already be done with an electrostatic design such as a fusor, and why they aren't widespread outside of science fair projects.
Another limitation with anything micro-fabricated is that the resulting radiation from fusion working is going to knock atoms out of their lattices, degrading chips in direct proportion to total (lifetime) energy output.
Yeah, I did a bit but thanks for the thought. Will again
Agreed the micro architecture and energies involved are.. challenging
I guess my thinking is that most of the assumptions that might have precluded small scales may have radically changed
I'm thinking of the lattice as more of a staging area for a downrange scatter, so no local accumulation of the energies. But no idea how practical that may be
