So what does this fusion discovery mean?
We made fusion for 60 years.
The problem was we don't have controlled fusion and when we don't have controlled fusion It's called a bomb.
But when you control it, then you can you can throttle it, you can valve it, you can put it where you need to and how you want to use it.
In order to have fusion, you need very hot plasma,
which is like an ionized gas so hot that it can't touch anything that might contain it.
If I give you plasma and put it in a suitcase, the suitcase would vaporize.
So one of the great problems is the containment of such very high-temperature gas.
And because the gas is like ionized, which means they're free electrons moving around, you can contain it in a magnetic vessel. A magnetic bottle.
