Fusion Generator

Sustained fusion generators were largely theoretical until the invention of artificial gravity. The energy required to confine hydrogen in plasma states required to induce fusion using AG is less than the energy created by the reaction, allowing continuous production of surplus energy with few hazardous byproducts as long as fuel is fed into the plasma containment field. Electrical energy is harvested in the same manner as Fission Generators, but most use a direct energy conversion system that orders and converts charged particles into voltage while allowing the exhaust of the reaction to be used for thrust. Fusion generators have a longer start-up time than fission and combustion reactors but remain the technology of choice for most human energy needs.
