Practical Fusion Reactor Now

Inverse: Mars map with water: incredible terraforming image shows Elon Musk’s dream.

"The proposal is bold, but Musk has clarified that in practice it would involve a continuous stream of low-fallout nuclear fusion explosions above the poles, acting as artificial suns."


Sooner or later we will colonise MARS. The water comes from meteors.


The quotation above gave me the idea for fusion electrical generators. What is needed is just a huge underground building to contain the smallest hydrogen, which is 2 times larger than the bomb in Hiroshima.


You may say it is ridiculous but the superconducting magnets they build in France for a Fusion generator, is huge, but used to contain the Fusion Explosions, the smallest possible.


What it means is that Fusion reactors cannot be small. It has to be bigger than Hydro dams, but at least we can build them now, instead of waiting for breakthrough in electromagnetic containtment.
