The Fusion Driven Rocket: Animation

The Fusion Driven Rocket Thin hoops of metal are driven at the proper angle and speed for convergence onto target plasmoid at thruster throat. A target Deuterium FRC plasmoid is created and injected into thruster chamber. Target FRC is confined by axial magnetic field from shell driver coils as it translates through chamber eventually stagnating at the thruster throat Converging shell segments form fusion blanket compressing target FRC plasmoid to fusion conditio
