Executive Summary
How much does temperature, magnetic field strength, and size matter when improving the containment of plasma in fusion reactors? We believe that a combination of these three factors will maximize the energy output. Our research method is to plot energy output as a function of these three factors to determine if there is any correlation and then suggest possible combinations of traits for a future reactor.
