For anyone unfamiliar with my gravity power plant I will explain it again. In the image the idea on the left is a power plant that uses an explosion as its fuel. Water sitting at the bottom of the cavity is lifted up by the explosion into the loop at top. The water is then lowered back into the cavity through the conduit that operates a generator. The example on the right is to cut the ground into a singular piece above an underground explosion that pops the piece of material out with greater ease then typical cratering with underground explosives and increases the efficiency of the explosive's energy conversion to weight displacement.

We already crunched some numbers on another forum and found out that you can get upto 630 times the energy out of a fission/fusion explosive then it takes to refine the fuel. So that's not the problem.

Currently the fusion experiments seem to be geared towards boiling water to operate a turbine. This seems unlikely since they can only turn on the tokamak for 11 minutes before having to turn it off. My question is wouldn't a power plant that can take on a lot of energy at once be a better use of fusion then boiling water and trying to use a steam engine?

Fusion is big! the sun is huge! If you're trying to create a fusion power plant, one should use a method that can encompass such gigantic reactions like those of the tokomak or the laser experiments. That's why I still promote this idea nearly ten years after I created it. (BTW I recently did receive patent coverage in Canada for these two ideas and am proud to say they have been awarded)
