A method for generating electrical energy comprises the steps of providing a fusion fuel (1), wherein the fusion fuel (1) is held in a magnetic field in a cylindrical reaction space (2), initiating nuclear fusion in the fusion fuel (1), wherein a fusion flame is produced by fusion laser pulses (4) with a pulse duration of less than 10 ps and a power of more than 1 petawatt, and converting the energy released during the nuclear fusion from the nuclei produced into power plant power, wherein the magnetic field has a field strength which is greater than or equal to 1 kilotesla, and the nuclear fusion has an energy efficiency of more than 500 per laser energy initiating the fusion flame of the fusion laser pulses (4). A nuclear fusion reactor which is configured for generating electrical energy is also described. |
