The craft was to be powered by nuclear fusion, using laser beams to produce pulses of nuclear energy in a generator in the centre of the craft, at a rate of over 1000 Hz to prevent resonance, which could damage the vehicle.
The aim was to power the craft using nuclear fusion, accomplished through the use of laser pulses to generate nuclear energy within a central unit, operating at an extremely high frequency (over 1000 Hz) to prevent potential harm to the vehicle due to resonance.
