Pacific Fusion: The Third Path

I do write about nuclear fusion occasionally, just not very often. The last paper I wrote on this subject was a late 2022 update of a paper I originally wrote in early 2021.

Earlier papers covered two processes for nuclear fusion (two bullets below).

  • Steady-state magnetic confinement fusion reactors (a.k.a. Tokamak or Stellarator)
  • Pulsed laser-driven inertial confinement fusion reactors

The subject of this paper is pulsed magnetic inertial confinement fusion.
