This presentation explores the fundamentals and advancements in nuclear fusion technology, drawing insights from technologies like Tokamak reactors and various plasma heating techniques, such as ohmic heating, neutral-beam injection, and radio-frequency heating. It integrates concepts from nuclear fission for context and highlights future potential in power generation through fusion. With contributions from General Atomics in San Diego, this presentation serves as a comprehensive introduction to the science of fusion and the quest to harness it as a viable energy source.
