What is it about?
Current ways of generating this power in space for nuclear fusion propulsion systems are too heavy. We evaluate a novel solution: plasma flux compression generators. We get a system that isn't good as prior work, but is much more detailed, and we derive some general trends that allow others to more easily design similar systems.
