How A Fusion Core Would Work

How it would work

To understand how a fusion core would work, we need to look at a real life equivilant. Nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants work when placing a unit of Uranium 234 in water. The Uranium the produces steam from the water, the steam pushes the turbines, thus creating energy. To make a fusion core, it wouldn't exactly be a fusion core because fusion is when one atom joins another atom and the event causes energy to be released. We aren't doing that. What we would do is to put the uranium in a much smaller area. We would put uranium in a container, along with turbines and water. The steam would spin the turbines, then the turbines would create energy for anything it connects to.
