of Skunk Work’s Revolutionary Technology section. And ground-breaking it is, certainly:

Instead of utilizing the similar strategy that everyone else is using— the

Soviet-derived tokamak, a torus in which magnetic fields limit the fusion

reaction with a enormous energy cost and thus tiny energy production abilities—Skunk

Works’ Compact Fusion Reactor has a fundamentally different methodology to

anything people have tried before. Here are the two of those techniques for contrast:
