alternative fusion concepts

Alternative fusion concepts explore different methods to replicate the sun’s energy process more efficiently and safely. Instead of traditional magnetic confinement (like tokamaks), approaches include inertial confinement, which uses high-energy lasers to compress fuel into a tiny, hot hot plasma, and stellarators, which are designed with complex magnetic shapes to contain plasma more steadily. Other concepts involve fusion concepts such as magnetized target fusion, which combines magnetic fields with compression techniques. These alternatives aim to achieve sustained, controlled fusion reactions with less technical complexity and improved performance, ultimately providing a cleaner and nearly limitless energy source.
