Star Reactors

What can be solar, wind, fuel, and nuclear? The right guess would be energy or power engineering. Thermonuclear power engineering does not exist as yet, though thermonuke offers an inexhaustible and fairly safe source of energy, which, however, has found the only practical application so far, a hydrogen bomb…

Afamous physicist L. A. Artsimovich, whose contribution to the progress in thermonuclear research is invaluable, believed that physicists had never faced a problem as hard as controlled thermonuclear fusion for the whole history of physics. Yet, solving this problem would mean freeing people from energy-hungry forever.
