Electrostatic Plasma Confinement

Electrostatic Plasma Confinement
Research Cost: 15000
Summary
Physicists develop mechanisms to contain fusion plasma via static electric fields.
Description
By utilizing static electric fields to contain a fusion reaction, this form of fusion power directly heats its fuel, bypassing most of the energy loss found in other types of fusion power. The relatively simple nature of turning charged particles into power makes this method of particular interest for power systems. While not able to achieve extremely high power outputs possible in other types of fusion, it still promises lightweight and efficient reactors for our spacecraft.

"I brought you on board, doctor, because I believe you're the only one who can pull this off. The good news is that, if I'm wrong, there'll be no-one left to tell me about it." Commander Fiona Ayouade, The Resistance Engineering briefing
