Physics laboratories and even a few individuals have successfully fused the nuclei of hydrogen, liberating energy. Fueled by free pizza, grad students meticulously placed 9,920 permanent rare-earth magnets inside the stellarator’s 3D-printed nylon shell. The problem isn’t whether fusion can work.

Very broadly, the biomass-to-gasoline (BTG) process assessed in the NREL report gasifies biomass to produce a syngas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The remaining gas is sent to the fuel combustor. The design used in this model came from the New Zealand MTG demonstration process design with a few minor modifications.
