The device would create fusion by heating up forms of height jen to temperatures ten times hotter than the sun. containing that hot gas would create a big super conducting mas net. >> it's a magnetic field about 100,000 times stronger than the earth's magnetic shield. >> for shields the heat, as it were? >> that's correct. >> it sounds so dangerous. what if it ex-plot? >> first of all, this thing is very hard to keep going. >> we are not talking about nuclear reactors. that can lead to devastating radioactive melt downs. controlled fusion reactors are difficult to sustain, but he hopes to crea...
