Hypothetically if you were to mechanically compress a mix of deuterium and tritium in a cylinder with a piston to a ridiculous high compression ratio, such that the temperature was raised to hundreds of millions of degreees, if only for a millionth of a second, would the gas simply ignite in fiery fusion?
>You cant push a piston that hard
Imagine a long smoothbore cannon closed at the end, you fire a metal cylinder with explosives, as it barrels it rams the hydrogen towards the end closure. It can have a tremendous energy.
