Stabilized Z-Pinch Fusion Driven Electromagnetic Propulsion
Stabilized Z-Pinch Fusion Driven Electromagnetic Propulsion The University of Texas at Austin is working on a fusion propulsion system based on z-pinch technology. The system will use electrical current to compress and heat plasma, producing fusion reactions that will be accelerated by an electromagnetic accelerator. The goal of the project is to design, build, and […]
