The kink instability in plasma focus devices produces useful propulsion jets rather than being a problem to eliminate

Dense plasma at 260 keV can achieve fusion temperatures exceeding the sun's core (1 keV)

Hydrogen-boron fusion produces three helium nuclei and enables direct energy conversion without thermal cycle

Chirped pulse amplification lasers (2018 Nobel Prize) enable non-equilibrium cold plasmas needed for hydrogen-boron fusion

The heat signature of orbs represents clustered electrons from reverse field configuration
