"Zap is taking a unique approach to fusion power known as sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch. Instead of using magnets or lasers to squeeze the plasma, it sends a bolt of electricity through a plasma stream. That current generates a magnetic field which compresses the plasma — the pinch — and ends up with fusion. The company had been studying the phenomenon through a series of devices at its facilities in Washington State': Zap Energy shows off its new fusion power prototype https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/09/zap-energy-shows-off-its-new-fusion-power-prototype-century/
