TAE Technologies, headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, is a fusion company using a unique reactor design, and it recently reached a key milestone in the quest for usable energy from fusion. TAE Technologies shared this virtual tour of its lab to explain the potential of fusion technology.
Take a look.
To re-create fusion on Earth, first, a lighter atom such as hydrogen
has to be heated until it gets to the fourth state of matter, plasma. (The first three states are solid, then liquid, then gas.)
Then, the superheated plasma has to be sustained for a long enough amount of time and in a stable enough condition to release energy.
