Inertial electrostatic confinement

Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) is a type of plasma confinement system used primarily in the context of nuclear fusion research. The concept is based on the idea of using electric fields to confine charged particles, such as ions, in a controlled environment to facilitate fusion reactions. Here are key aspects of IEC: 1. **Electric Fields for Confinement**: IEC systems use electric fields created by electrodes to trap ions in a small region of space.
