This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

From Experiments to Fusion Power Plants As difficult as it will be, successfully producing an energy gain of 10 or more in a fusion experiment may still prove to be easier than the subsequent challenge of using nuclear fusion to put electricity on the grid. The tape is made up of yttrium barium copper oxide deposited on a steel substrate.
