For the production of useful amounts of energy, a large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei must be produced. In ... magnetically and electrostatically. In the inertial confinement a fuel mass is compressed rapidly to densities 1,000 to10,000 times greater than normal by generating a pressure as high as 1017 pascals for periods as short as nanoseconds.
