minus-squareGabu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoThere are fusion reactor designs (most hypothetical, but some physical) which use magnetic interactions to capture the energy as electricity. The issue is that it’s orders of magnitude more complex to do, even if it increases efficiency.
Why not magnets
There are fusion reactor designs (most hypothetical, but some physical) which use magnetic interactions to capture the energy as electricity. The issue is that it’s orders of magnitude more complex to do, even if it increases efficiency.
How do those work?
Nobody knows
