Article

  • Interactive browser simulator modeling energy balance of a fusion power plant
  • Lets users tweak heating power, magnetics, and plasma parameters
  • Advanced mode exposes more engineering detail; dark mode required for some browsers

Discussion

  • Commenters want economics added: MWh price, capex, loan rate matter more than physics
  • Recirculating power for magnetics missing — critical driver of real plant design
  • District heating use case raised: fusion near city centers could supply existing steam systems
