Centrifugal Magnetic Mirror Nuclear Fusion Propulsion
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6SG1T)
Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early Centrifugal Magnetic Mirror propulsion concept could achieve 1 to 10 newtons of thrust with 10,000 to 30000 ISP. This would be propulsion that ...
