Abstract Electromagnetic implosions of hollow lithium cylinders can be utilized to compress magnetized plasma targets in the context of Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF). Two small-scale experiments were conducted at General Fusion as a stepping stone toward compressing magnetized plasmas on
How Fusion Energy Works.
Fusion powers the sun and the stars, where immense forces compress and heat hydrogen plasma, fusing it into helium and releasing enormous amounts of energy. Commercial systems seek to replicate this fusion process, but need to create the pressure and heat by means other than gravity.
Fusion fuel has an energy density that is millions of times greater than fossil fuels.
