Notes: Inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) systems are predicated on a nonequilibrium ion distribution function. Coulomb collisions between ions cause this distribution to relax to a Maxwellian on the ion–ion collisional time scale. The power required to prevent this relaxation and maintain the IEC configuration for times beyond the ion–ion collisional time scale is shown to be greater than the fusion power produced. It is concluded that IEC systems show little promise as a basis for the development of commercial electric power plants. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
