HA HA HA
TIME FOR MAGNETIZED TARGET FUSION

>i didnt actually realize the plasma injectors are timed to fire as the pistons strike the sphere, i thought the injector fired BEFORE the pistons, but i guess this way the plasma doesnt have to be in its little vortex torus for long

>mfw they updated the general fusion website finally
>mfw it actually looks pretty good, nice CSS usage

>mfw it has one of the best quick primers to fusion power out there, even if it mostly just craps on MCF and ICF in favor of its own

anyone else excite?
when are they going to do test firings?

you bet.
best part is, this is actually a rather simple plasma production method, compared to tokamak, since it doesn't require the plasma to remain hot and stable for very long.
