You are just making a fool of yourself.
The principle worked using very small models and conventional explosives. Given that Dyson and others had the physics and engineering down and were convinced of its feasibility(and they were some of the best engineers in the world) and it was only the partial-test ban that stopped them and that the US has reclassified the materials I'll leave such a judgement for a while.
A nuclear explosion is a horse of a different colour.

Heard of a shaped charge? As thats what they developed.
The first atomic bombs were about 13 and 18 kilotons - probably your picture - they were looking at 0.15KT explosions.

I've seen the wiki article too. It's still ridiculous.

Disagree,
Mainly because I think Dyson, et al, had a touch more authority when it comes to such stuff but I also think its just that we don't think big any more when it comes to Space. To much Nazi rocket science. And definitely a better use for nukes than what they are currently for.

"Authority"? You must be kidding.
Every scientist with a crackpot scheme always guarantees viability.
But this is nothing more than a dream.

Freeman Dyson a crackpot! He was part of the team building it for the US they only stopped due to the test-bans not due to the infeasibility of the project.

A full scale model was never started or built.

Eh!? A full-scale model is the finished product?
They built test-models using conventional explosives, the physics and technical specs appear mathematically sound. I have no idea why you are so resistant to such an idea? As this and the solar sail are about the only practical methods so far for intra-solar system travel and the sail needs advances in materials I think, whereas the pulse-propulsion system is feasible now, as it was a half-century ago. Now I agree that the unforeseen may prove it a failure but see no real reason not to try other than politics as we have a shit-load of nukes lying around.

Because I'm not as stupid as you.

Surely not! But considerably more so than Dyson I suspect.
