• “Projectile fusion”
    • High-velocity projectile replaces the laser
    • Target designs are key, but trade secrets
    • The targets multiply the velocity and create convergence
  • 2015 – 2019: Phase Two – Demonstration of fusion
    • Machine Three commissioned
    • Experiments in progress
  • 2019 – 2024: Next phase, five year plan
    • Requires new funding
    • Gain experiment and reactor design
