• N-07PDFThe petrodollar architecture, deuterium fusion, and the case for direct-conversion compact pulsed FRCMay 15, 2026A public whitepaper arguing that deuterium fusion, direct conversion, and container-class pulsed FRC architecture compose into a strategic energy-security exit from oil-rent geopolitics.J. Samper Finberg · 40 min read · Whitepaper

• N-06Fusion and the Future of Global SecurityMay 10, 2026Oil's geopolitical centrality is not the price of carbon — it is a security architecture built on chokepoints, rents, and dollar plumbing. Fusion does not abolish that architecture; it relocates it from geography to industrial capacity.J. Samper Finberg · 23 min read · Geopolitics
• N-01Why deuterium–deuteriumMay 09, 2026D–D is harder than D–T on cross-section. It removes the tritium-supply problem entirely. The trade is one we can write on a single page.Joseph S. Finberg · 1 min read · Architecture
• N-02What stage-gating actually meansApr 22, 2026Stage-gating is not a milestone schedule. It is a pre-declared no-go signal at every gate, with the capital tranche structured to terminate the program with clarity if the signal fires.Joseph S. Finberg · 1 min read · Posture
• N-03Compact by constructionApr 08, 2026The forty-foot ISO container is not a marketing constraint. It is the geometric envelope every subsystem decision is sized against, including the direct-conversion package.Boruch Epstein · 1 min read · Architecture
• N-04Direct conversion as architecture, not afterthoughtMar 24, 2026Most fusion programs treat electrical recovery as a downstream balance-of-plant problem. In a containerized D–D machine, electromagnetic direct conversion has to be a first-class architectural element from the bore inward.Joseph S. Finberg · 1 min read · Architecture
• N-05Why datacenters are the natural first loadMar 10, 2026Pulsed-power architectures match step-load behavior. Datacenters are the largest constant electrical load on the modern grid. The fit is mechanical, not aspirational.Joseph S. Finberg · 1 min read · Use case
