The Fusion Energy Equations · 2nd Edition
The technical companion — every governing equation behind the breeder and burner, derived from first principles and tied to the frozen design point.
A companion series by P. I. Ford — from the physics of a compact tokamak to the geopolitics of abundant energy. Written alongside the Kronos program, each volume stands on its own.
The technical companion — every governing equation behind the breeder and burner, derived from first principles and tied to the frozen design point.
The case for neutrons first: the medical isotopes, tritium, and strategic materials a breeder produces on the road to electricity.
Why the cleanest fusion fuel is buried in lunar regolith — and what an Earth–Moon helium-3 supply chain would take to build.
The AI-native control stack, digital twin, and quantum methods behind holding a plasma steady — and where the honest limits are.
Firm fusion heat as the key to desalination at scale — and what it means for the water security of coastal megacities.
The economics of firm, dispatchable fusion power in a grid reshaped by data centers and electrification.
A history of fusion — the false dawns, the breakthroughs, and the people who kept the dream alive for a hundred years.
The geopolitics of abundance: what happens to the oldest driver of war when energy becomes local, firm, and sovereign.
