Actually, confinement is the wrong idea. The magnetic fields push at the electrons, while the electrons push back at the magnetic fields, this creates a potential well that acts an accelerator for the fuel ions.
Polywell or IEC fusion is more akin to a vacume tube than a Tokamak.
I’ve been an engineer, barman, skip lorry driver, coalman, boat window manufacturer, contract grass cutter and builder. Now I write science fiction books, and am slowly getting over the feeling that someone is going to find me out, and can call myself a writer without wincing and ducking my head. As professions go, I prefer this one: I don’t have to clock-in, change my clothes after work, nor scrub sensitive parts of my body with detergent. I think I’ll hang around.

Spherical fusion containment system, as opposed to the toroidal Tokamak?
It certainly is interesting!

I have decided to do an end run around the government by designing an open source fusion test reactor.
Any one care to help? You can start here:
