Stellar Core Engine
Deuterium & Tritium nuclei violently repel each other because they are both positively charged. You must crank the Temperature and Pressure to Maximum to overcome the electrostatic repulsion and force them to fuse!
Temperature0M °C
Increases kinetic velocity
Pressure0 atm
Decreases containment volume
Electrostatic Repulsion: Notice how the atoms bounce off each other, glowing red upon impact at low energy. They require massive kinetic energy (Heat) and microscopic proximity (Pressure) to bypass this electrostatic barrier.
