One of the fusion startups says they can use the plasma B field directly. Basically making the plasma the rotor in an electric generator to induce current in a wire.

I really like this concept, wonder how viable it really is though.

It seems promising, they're acting like they're close. They've been promising concrete deliverables, I think they're supposed to have a working model that can actually capture the energy next year

You never know, but they're called Triton if you want to check them out. They don't share progress often, but when they do it seems pretty candid about their progress

Which one? My first impression is that ignoring all the energy in neutrons should be pretty inefficient
