Why is no one talking about the video content? This is serious shit, I know the meme about "20 years away", but these kind of things are the final breakthroughs needed to actually accomplish it. This design eliminates the issue of neutron wear and serviceability by using existing technology (FLiBe) and actually thinking about how to put the thing together properly. It also ramps up the power of the field hugely using this new material which was always the other main problem. Those theories they presented hold up fine and there is no reason why it couldn't work, it is just an engineering question now.
