Hello There!

This website presents information on some of key concepts related to Nuclear Fusion. The focus is specifically on topics relevant for realising a commercially feasible nuclear fusions reactor.

Intent

The desired outcome of the content here is to inspire readers to contribute to the field. While there are many excellent resources on these topics (some of which are heavily referenced here), this website presents the topics with the goal of bridging the gap between shallower popular science coverage of the topic and the hard academic publications.

Another intent of this effort is a more personal one: to help me better understand the topics myself, by presenting it to others (Learning by teaching). For scientific or engineering challenges, I try to approach the topic from first principles where I can, and then cover some branches for the “what-if”/“how about” scenarios, to explore alternate approaches for solving a problem.

Navigation Links

The navigation links at the top take you to the home-page for the topics. The content is arranged in a hierarchical manner (tree), generally, so the navigation links below should help guide with intended flow of content consumption. The "Previous" and "Next" navigates through topics at the same level of hierarchy (skips over detailed sub-sections), while "Up" allows to navigate up the hierarchy. However, this is a subjective preference, and you can use the table of contents to serve you the way you desire. There may be multiple tables of contents, where the hierarchy is arranged differently (categorised perhaps by areas of physics, reliability of information, etc.).

The vast majority of the website content is just html and css, with the intent to widen reach and minimise distractions from the content. Calculators and scripts may be present on certain pages, for demonstration or educational purposes.

Font Style:

You can usually distinguish between conventionally accepted information and the author's annotations/opinion/speculation by checking the references or links. Some of the content is explicitly marked with different font styles to help distinguish between the two.

Derived from a collection of authoritative sources and conveying conventionally accepted information.
The author’s subjective opinions, newly published research or content with low confidence on accuracy.

Collapsible Sections:

There may be collapsible sections that provide more details on a topic. The intent here is to provide the reader with the choice of abstraction of detail. Detailed information, including any mathematical equations and links to related content are generally included in collapsible sections.

About the author

I am the sole maintainer of this website, and I do this as a personal hobby. I do not have expertise in all the content on this website and therefore misinterpretations and mistakes are likely to eventually find its way here. I hope that the citations provided can help review the validity of the content. It may, however, be of some reassurance to know that the author has basic qualifications to cover the matter:

I work as an engineer in the automotive and transport industry, helping transition us away from fossil-fuel dependent powertrain solutions. My academic qualifications include a Masters in Mechatronics Engineering (MEng) and Fusion Energy (MSc physics). This does not eliminate the possibility of misinterpretations, gaps in knowledge or unintentional errors, so please do contact me in case you notice any issues with the content.
