DesignDHe3FusionEngine:
deprecated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Design a field reversed configuration fusion engine.
This treats the plasma as a volume. It does a mixing analysis of the
various side reactions to produce a power flow.
The demo replicates the long-term example in the reference.
The output is in the form of a data structure. If you don't specify
and output it will print the results in the command window.
For the filename if you can type in xxx.tex or just xxx.
Type DesignDHe3FusionEngine to see a 12 MW fusion engine.
