Polywell

The Polywell is an experimental fusion device designed to produce energy by fusing atomic nuclei. It uses magnetic fields and electric charges to confine a plasma—hot, ionized gas—within a special chamber. The device employs electron beams to generate a magnetic cusp configuration, creating a magnetic bottle that traps ions at the center. When these ions collide at high temperatures, they can fuse, releasing energy. The Polywell aims to achieve efficient, clean, and abundant energy production by harnessing nuclear fusion similar to processes powering the sun, but in a compact, controlled environment.
