Ion Pumpy Thing
Definition
An anonymously sourced schematic for a compact fusion reactor, sent to Ashton Forbes on Twitter around 2024 and analysed by him in May 2026. Labels he reads off the image include a min-field ionizer, a piston with "full command of adiabatic pressure", boron-11 injection, Hastelloy screens, and cusp and travelling-wave direct energy conversion. The direct-conversion wording is near-verbatim from a 2012 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts report that names George Miley as a collaborator.
