The Fusion Technology That Was Shut Down
This video features a fusion master class by Dr. Matt Moyahan explaining magnetic mirror reactor technology. It details how magnetic field gradients cause charged particle reflection through the mirror effect with particles corksrewing helically around field lines. Aston Forbes views this as the technology behind the plasma orbs visible in the MH370 recordings citing controlled magnetic cusps and helical particle escape patterns. The video presents that companies including Tri Alpha Energy and Helion have maintained operations for decades due to their understanding of effective fusion methods. A key event highlighted is the 1980s Department of Energy funding down-selection under the Reagan administration which terminated research on magnetic mirror machines and field reverse configuration projects.
