The Advantages of Inertial Fusion

Inertial confinement fusion is a much smaller type of device. Driver system, be it projectile or lazer, is veryphysically separated from the place where the energy is released. This makes this simpler and cheaper than either magnetic confinement or using the lazer based inertial confinement that's used in the national ignition facility. The level of evidence for the plasmophysics of a tocanac is higher than the level of evidence we have for our scheme. Our best target design has improved er by a factor of ten thousand over the course of er 20 21. I'm steading down the challenge to the team by sume, find me a factory of a hundred. And has may
