What these terms mean

Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.

Fusion developer
Develops a fusion device or power plant concept. Carries no implication that the device exists or works.
Fusion
Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
Laser ICF, indirect drive › › Laser ICF, indirect drive
Laser energy converted to X-rays in a hohlraum, which drives the capsule. The NIF configuration.
Deuterium–tritium
Lowest ignition threshold; 80% of energy in 14.1 MeV neutrons. The reference fuel for every near-term net-gain claim.

In Inertia’s own words

Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.

Our modular laser system is the most powerful in the world. It is comprised of a thousand smaller lasers, each twenty times more efficient than at NIF.

Our plant shoots ten targets per second. Each target produces fifteen times more thrust than a SpaceX Falcon rocket at liftoff.

Our fusion fuel factory mass-produces targets from abundant materials for less than one dollar each.

With the physics proven, it’s time to deliver. Inertia’s leaders and experts, together with partners in industry, academia and national labs, will bring limitless fusion energy to life.
