Polywell reactor

A Polywell reactor is a type of fusion device designed to generate energy by fusing atomic nuclei, similar to how the sun produces energy. It uses powerful magnetic and electric fields to contain a hot, dense plasma of hydrogen isotopes. The key innovation is a set of electromagnetically confined electrons that create a negative electric well, attracting and holding positively charged ions in the center. When these ions collide at high speeds, they fuse, releasing energy. This approach aims to produce a cleaner, safer, and potentially more efficient form of nuclear energy compared to traditional reactors.
