Predetil Fusion
We use a new method for inertial fusion, which we call projectile fusion. We launch our projectile with electromagnetic forces, so it's like a rail gun. And what you get is clinetic energy in the projectile that can be ten%. Whereas if you look at the efficiency of the national ignition facility, it's point one per cent. That's fascinating. So simulation, which is one of the advantages of your approach, has become more useful as computing power has got cheaper.
