SPARC (fusion reactor project)

The SPARC project is an innovative effort to develop a compact, high-performance fusion reactor—aiming to generate clean, nearly limitless energy by mimicking the Sun's process. It uses intense magnetic fields to contain super-hot plasma where hydrogen isotopes fuse, releasing energy. SPARC’s goal is to prove that fusion can be a practical and economical energy source by achieving net energy gain, meaning it produces more energy than it consumes. If successful, it could revolutionize energy production by providing a safe, sustainable alternative to fossil fuels with minimal environmental impact.
