Pacific Fusion

Pulsed magnetic means a fuel container is rapidly squeezed by a powerful magnetic field created by driving a large, fast-rising electrical current across it. This compression heats and inertially confines the fuel, fusing hydrogen into helium to release massive energy. After decades of investment by the US government, the US National Laboratories in 2022 achieved major advances in inertial fusion performance — with both pulsed lasers and pulsed magnetic drivers.
