Cambridge Heavy Industries has been quietly building a desktop fusion device

Automated excerpt

Cambridge Heavy’s fusion reactor uses lasers to compress a fuel target, similar to the groundbreaking experiment that proved controlled fusion reactions could produce more power than they consume. But unlike other inertial confinement designs, Cambridge Heavy’s minimizes the number of lasers required to spark fusion. Cambridge Heavy’s design generates high pressures with relatively low laser power, Kai said.
