The basic idea of creating conditions of high density and/or high temperature (reaching the Lawson criterion) to produce cheap Nuclear Fusion energy is a valid one, but one has to devise many alternate mechanisms to reach this criterion to haste success. This invention describes an apparatus that accelerates macroscopic pieces of matter held together at high density as either a solid speck or a liquid drop, and fires them at a solid target having a special carved shape, to achieve the Lawson criterion over large spatial regions. The extent of these regions is optimized to produce a break-even in the energy balance. The resulting energy production is commensurate with that of a small Power Plant.
