The Inertial Condensation Approach

In inertial confinement, the density is actually lower than the can of atmospheric density. In anutrafusion a, we're talking about densities that might be ten or a hundred times higher but time scales are very short. So you're talking about on billionth per second. One of the big advantages that we have is that we have a process that we can simulate. The physics of the process is amenable to simulation. It is a tractable thing to simulate. We've done over a hundred thousand simulations going into the design of that campaign.
