On nuclear fusion

Living up to its name, University of Washington spin-off company ZAP Energy’s Century system is developing fusion power technology by blasting plasma with super-lightning-like pulses 12 times per minute, without relying on superconducting magnets or laser beams.

Century does not use deuterium-tritium isotope mix and its plasmas do not undergo fusion reactions or emit neutrons. It instead uses only simple hydrogen in the plasma, as ZAP Energy says the purpose of its Century platform isn’t to lead to an actual fusion reactor, but to gain more insights into Z-pinch and how to apply it to future technology.
