    Is the use of materials to confine nuclear fusion ruled out?

    Thanks for the responses. I bet conduction away by materials is the problem, among others. Vaporization of the material on the inside of the cavity would spike the pressure... I would think this would keep the temperature up but 30 million deg kelvin may be too high a bar.

    Is the use of materials to confine nuclear fusion ruled out?

    Usually people talk about magnetic confinement schemes or some such thing for fusion reactions presumably because the pressure and temperatures would vaporize/destroy all conceived material vessels too quickly. I would like to hear someone talk about the limits of materials in this realm. So...
