Many alternate fusion concepts are being investigated even though Tokamak magnetic confinement systems remain a leading candidate for practical fusion energy reactors. The leading alternatives are compared in the video series The New Fusion Race. This chart shows one way to compare the alternative fusion approaches (places 5-11) with the mainstream efforts (places 1-4) using the Lawson product of density, confinement time and ion temperature. |
