MAGNETISED LINER INERTIAL FUSION

Magnetised Liner Inertial Fusion (MAGLIF) is a promising non-laser-based approach to (magneto) inertial fusion. This research is led by the Sandia National Laboratory using the Z Pulsed Power Facility. The main advantage of this approach is a very high electrical to implosion-kinetic-energy conversion-efficiency, meaning that in principle the driver could be of modest scale, and hence cost, in comparison to the equivalent laser.
