And as far as he knew, a dodgy
plasma injector could drop you smack into a wormhole ending somewhere on the other side of the universe with no way back.
One building houses
the plasma injector, resembling a lunar capsule, swathed in tubes and wires and shielded from the offices nearby by steel dividers decked in blast - proof tiles.
If being the first to net gain was all that mattered, General Fusion might as well pack up
its plasma injector and go home.
A bigger venue will be needed when the time comes to build the full - size prototype, featuring a three - metre - diameter sphere, between 200 and 300 pistons and
plasma injector all connected together.
For example, General Fusion turned to a local dry - ice company to help clean microscopic carbon soot from
its plasma injector.
In 2011 General Fusion had what at first looked like a successful test of
its plasma injector, a funnel - shaped machine where plasma is created from super-heated hydrogen gas.
The rescued capacitors are now powering General Fusion's
plasma injectors.

injectors which heat a
plasma fuel mix of deuterium and tritium to 1 million degrees Celsius.

plasmas.
Engineers are installing a powerful neutral beam
injector in the laboratory's Lithium Tokamak Experiment (LTX), an innovative device used to test the liquid metal as a first wall that enhances
plasma performance.
