Nuclear Fusion

Now’s your chance to sail on an aircraft carrier — the Strike Group is in your area! Play our new virtual reality game All Hands, learn about Navy missions around the world and chat with real Sailors. See you at San Diego Science and Engineering Festival 2025!

We will demonstrate the fundamental physics needed to perform nuclear fusion research. Concepts in fusion, pressure, states of matter, and electricity & magnetism will be explored. Demonstrations include bed-of-nails, gaseous plasma, electromagnets, a differential pressure cannon, liquid nitrogen, electricity generation, and an electromagnetic can launcher.

Sailors in the United States Navy will be present to share information regarding various STEM career opportunities and education benefits.
