title: Action Constant for Bremsstrahlung from Electron-and-Nucleus Collisions.
abstract: The analysis of bremsstrahlung events presented in this paper is based on conservation of energy. It develops an action constant that applies to any nucleus. The constant differs from Planck's constant; it is needed to obtain a relation for the bremsstrahlung power radiated from a plasma per unit volume. The equation agrees with experimental tests and leads to the conclusion that magnetically confined plasmas cannot produce self-sustaining fusion power.
