So even if I were to take one of these brand new Rebco superconducting magnets that can achieve 30 Tesla, I'm gonna get 10 times more out of that magnet using field reverse configuration than I would at Tokamak.
So this is why we're trying to, I think the smart people are moving away from these Tokamak hot fusion designs and moving towards that.
So now why is this relevant for the orbs?
There's no chance the orbs are a tokamak.
You can't build something like that that's not almost perfectly efficient.
So those are a high beta regime.
I believe they're also using a field reverse configuration design in them.
But there's something in there, like a tube, essentially.
And what I would imagine it looks like is like a picket fence.
where you have alternating magnetic fields up, down, up, down, up, down.
Why?
Because then this will create a synchronization between it, where all the waves sync up, where all the atoms sync up.
In fact, it creates like a traffic jam, where now everything's stuck trying to get through this gap like a fire hose.
And that's how I think they turned it into a fusion reactor.
It's a jet engine that they basically pulled out all the engine parts.
And we're like, this is now just a heat exchange.
And we're going to ionize the plasma.
And what they use...
is they use the air as fuel.
The big secret to rockets and rocket engines in general is that the actual fuel is the big, heaviest part, even the rockets that we just sent into the sky.
