Nuclear fusion garage size

The question is: shall be ever possible to have a minimum size fusuon reactor in our garage or similar technical room?

According to the above post from New Atlas that describes a project from Zap Energy there is a chance.

Z-pinch presents a path forward different from usual, but one that could ultimately prove cheaper and more efficient. That’s because rather than intricate webs of expensive magnetic coils and costly shielding materials to protect them, Z-pinch systems rely on an electromagnetic field that is generated within the plasma itself. This pins the plasma in place inside a relatively short column and “pinches” it until it becomes hot and dense enough for nuclear fusion to occur.

The team had previously demonstrated plasmas with an electrical current of 500 kiloamps (kA), the highest its previous prototype reactors could handle. But the higher the current, the hotter and denser the plasma becomes, and with this in mind the next-generation FuZE-Q is designed to accommodate currents of 650 kA. The team’s scientific modeling indicates that this is the point at which breakeven will occur, where the energy coming out of the device is greater than what is needed to operate it, referred to as Q=1.

The Zap Energy team has just closed a US$160-million Series C funding round, which will further its efforts to bring its form of fusion energy to market. With no need for expensive magnets or high-powered lasers  as seen in other approaches, the company envisions achieving this with mass-manufactured reactors that are small enough to fit inside a garage. These modular devices could be deployed to provide power to remote communities or combined and scaled up to provide energy to entire cities.
