Nuclear fusion simulation shows high-gain energy output
Albuquerque NM (SPX) Mar 21, 2012
High-gain nuclear fusion could be achieved in a preheated cylindrical container immersed in strong magnetic fields, according to a series of computer simulations performed at Sandia National Laboratories. The simulations show the release of output energy that was, remarkably, many times greater than the energy fed into the container's liner. The method appears to be 50 times more efficient than using X-rays - a previous favorite at Sandia - to drive implosions of targeted materials to create fusio ... read more
