Default Re: Theoretical Sci-fi Physics.

With regard to gravity plating in a ship as well as anti-gravity...

Is it assumed that this artificial gravity follows the inverse squared law? Is the pull stronger on your feet than on your head? Does it extend outside the ship? Do the ships collect dust gravitationally held to their hulls?

Power plants: Is it plausible to make electric by passing the plasma (hydrogen -orthohydrogen or parahydrogen-) created in a fusion reaction through magnetic coils on its way out of the ship? I am assuming that only a fraction of the hydrogen is actually fused into Deuterium, Tritium or Helium, the rest gets super heated and expelled from the fusion chamber along a linear bank of magnets.
