Claim Text:
1. A magnetic insulation fusion system, comprising: a fusion containment chamber; a metal shell that initially resides about an outer periphery of an interior region of the fusion containment chamber; a driver coil disposed around an outside of the fusion containment chamber; a plurality of foil liners arranged as adjacent hoops disposed about the outer periphery of the interior region of the fusion containment chamber, wherein the plurality of foil liners are pleated with a plurality of pleats defined by a pleat width; and an established Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma, wherein the FRC plasma is a closed field, magnetically confined plasma, wherein upon energization of the driver coil, a generated magnetic field inductively collapses the metal shell about the FRC plasma to compress the FRC plasma to fusion conditions.
