New Nuclear Fusion Technology



A new patent by researchers for a nuclear fusion reactor using inertial confinement to generate electric power has recently been filed for. This reactor could be used as a power station to generate electricity or even drive ships and submarines. The advantage over this technology is the lower risk of any possible containment versus traditional nuclear fission technology.

Here is a timelapse video of one being constructed in Germany (A different design)
