Behind the Scenes of Our Compact Fusion Machines
Fusion plasma conditions are notoriously difficult to create and harder yet to maintain. One commonality between most attempts, is that the fusion cores are huge, and the infrastructure to feed them is massive. Avalanche’s compact fusion machine is markedly different here; its fusion core can be held in your hands, and fully integrated could fit in a pickup bed.
