Limitless, safe, carbon-free energy!
Tiny, pea-sized fuel capsule. Micrograms:
deuterium and tritium atoms.
Newton's Third Law. Inertial confinement.
Giant lasers, experimental shots.
Explode! Break the megajoule barrier!
Trigger rapid, intense heating! Plasma
temperatures melt any known substance!
Thermonuclear fusion reactions:
the power of a miniature sun.
(I synthesized this poem from the news article "Friendly 'Death Star' Laser to Recreate Sun's Power". It uses only words and phrases found in the original article and fuses them into a metric grid format consisting of 10 lines of 10 syllables each.)
