So you want to operate a fusion reactor? Well, it's about as dangerous as it sounds. | So you want to operate a fusion reactor? Well, it's about as dangerous as it sounds. | ||
Fusion occurs when you give plasma and tritium a lot of heat energy. It'll quickly convert all of the gases to an extremely hot mixture based on the power of the reacting mixture. This power can be increased or decreased depending on what exactly is in the mix. The ratio of plasma is kept at exactly half of the mix for higher power and the rest of the gas, the mediation gas, should have a high fusion power and a low average specific heat. | Fusion occurs when you give plasma and tritium a lot of heat energy.
