Thoughts on Fusion Power for Space Travel

BrianWang

Brian Wang presents a wealth of materials dealing with the use of fusion power for propelling spacecraft. A sufficiently light and compact nuclear fusion reactor -- such as a dense plasma focus reactor -- would provide an excellent source of power and propulsion for intermediate-range solar system missions. As the technology improved, humans could even begin thinking of longer missions -- to the Oort clouds and beyond.
ADVANCES IN DENSE PLASMA FOR FUSION POWER AND SPACE PROPULSION, with George Miley, Ph.D.
Al Fin Energy provided a group of dense plasma focus videos in a short online film festival, to provide a quick introduction to the basic concepts. Abundant, clean energy is one thing. An unlimited passport to the local universe is something else again.
