The work of this website, and one day I hope, this website’s community – is to understand what exists today against each of these questions. We will then follow the logic through carefully and document it, identify gaps and figure out next steps.
Macro Context
- What are our energy needs as a species?
- What would our ideal requirements be?
- What options do we have?
Fusion Context
- What are the underlying physics of fusion at an atomic and sub-atomic level?
- What fundamental constraints exist that we know of today?
A Fusion Machine
- Shape: What confinement scheme is ‘best’? What has been tried? What is being tried? What has not yet been tried?
- Input: What fuel combinations?
- Output: What conversion to energy mechanism?
- Reaction: What optimisations could step-change the performance of the fusion reaction?
- Spin polarization
- Catalyzed fusion
- Resonant tunneling
