 Shiva Star was most recently revived for work in fusion research.A relatively new technique, magnetized target fusion, compresses a small plasma load with an imploding metal foil.Shiva Star's 10 MJ capacitor banks were perfect for this role, and starting in 2007 the new FRCHX experiment has been using Shiva Star with 1 mm thick aluminium foil that is accelerated to about 5 km/s.
