Magnetized target fusion

Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) is a method of nuclear fusion that combines elements of magnetic confinement and inertial confinement. In MTF, a plasma—a superheated gas of charged particles—is created and then compressed using a magnetic field while being rapidly compressed by a dense outer shell. This approach aims to achieve the conditions necessary for fusion, where atomic nuclei combine to release energy, similar to the processes powering the sun. MTF seeks to be a more efficient and economically viable way to harness fusion energy compared to traditional methods, potentially providing a cleaner and abundant energy source.
