Summary
Energy Gain Factor
, often denoted as Q, is a
Critical Metric
in
Fusion Research
that measures the
Ratio of energy produced
by a
Fusion Reaction
to the
Energy Input
required to sustain it. Achieving an
Energy Gain Factor
greater than one is essential for a
Fusion Reactor
to be considered
Viable for energy production
, as it indicates that the
Reactor generates more energy
than it consumes.
