Is nuclear fusion feasable and if so do you think MCF or ICF?

I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.

What is the explanation for the process of nuclear fusion?
Fusion reactions occur under immense pressures, such as those found in the centre of the sun. To artificially produce fusion reactions here on earth, we either use MCF (magnetic confinement fusion) or ICF (inertial confinement fusion) to create the pressure and temperature necessary for small elements to fuse together, releasing energy.
What are ICF walls?
ICF is your face!
What technological problems are associated with nuclear power and nuclear fusion?
There is an existing fusion technology that produces controlled amounts of fusion energy - more energy out of the fusion power generating system than it takes to run the fusion power generating system. It might be worthwhile to remember that Ivy-Mike technology worked the very first time it was tried in the 1952 nuclear test. Mike technology was the basis of the first thermonuclear weapons in the US arsenal. Adapting Mike technology to be pure DT-DD fusion opens up many new applications in safe, economical, fusion power generation. While historically practical nuclear fusion has used a small amount of fissionable material like U235 to produce the conditions for fusion - Today, there are smaller pure fusion devices optimized to make clean energy (not blast effects) from hybrid pure DT-DD fusion while producing no radioactive fission products and high level nuclear waste. Modern DT-DD pure fusion devices produce the overwhelming majority of their energy from the DD fusion reaction of Deuterium separated from sea water. One such modern hybrid DT-DD fusion design is called mini-Mike, which produces a small predictable controlled energy yield of 250 GJ per shot. (Since pictures and outside web links are not allowed on Answers) Description of a practical hybrid 2-stage fusion device - mini-Mike is a two stage device that features a small hollow 2 mm diameter Deuterium-Tritium fusion capsule which in turn ignites a column of pressurized Deuterium cryo-liquid resulting in devices with safe and reliable energy yields optimized for power generation. In 60 years, no other fusion technology (Magnetic Confinement or Inertial Confinement) has ever produced any net energy (more energy out of the fusion reaction than it takes to get the fusion plasma to fusion conditions). In 60 years, all existing MCF and ICF fusion systems have never worked (in the sense that they have not produced more energy from fusion than it took to get the fusion plasma to fusion conditions).. Mike technology worked the first time it was tried and produced huge amounts of net energy (and has never failed). Rather than placing our faith in scaling laws while we build ever larger and more expensive fusion experiments while trying to achieve break even energy generation - why not go back to the field and adapt technology that has never failed to finally find success in fusion?
What aprroximate osmolarity in ecf and icf?
300 mMol
Why and how does the ECF differ from the ICF?
The acronym ECF stands for extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of the cell in the human body.

What does icf means in a blood cell?
intra cellular fluid, i think i am correct
What is ICF International's population?
The population of ICF International is 2,012.
When was ICF International created?
ICF International was created in 1969.
How can you get inplant training in icf?
Yes, you can get implant training in ICF. The company, ICF International was founded in 1969 and the company offers in plant training to keep employees up to date.
What is the nova laser?
Nova was a high-power laser built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in 1984 which conducted advanced inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments until its dismantling in 1999.
When configuring ICF the tab is used to configure to which requests from an external system the ICF-protected system will respond?
ICMP
When was ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships created?
ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships was created in 1949.
When was ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships created?
ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships was created in 1938.
Fusion is the process by which the sun produces energy One experimental technique for creating controlled fusion utilizes a solid-state laser that emits a wavelength of 1062 nm and can produce a powe?
I suggest you read the Wikipedia article from which this introductory para is taken.Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a process where nuclear fusion reactions are initiated by heating and compressing a fuel target, typically in the form of a pellet that most often contains a mixture of deuterium and tritium. To compress and heat the fuel, energy is delivered to the outer layer of the target using high-energy beams of laser light, electrons or ions, although for a variety of reasons, almost all ICF devices to date have used lasers. The heated outer layer explodes outward, producing a reaction force against the remainder of the target, accelerating it inwards, and sending shock waves into the center. A sufficiently powerful set of shock waves can compress and heat the fuel at the center so much that fusion reactions occur. The energy released by these reactions will then heat the surrounding fuel, which may also begin to undergo fusion. The aim of ICF is to produce a condition known as "ignition", where this heating process causes a chain reaction that burns a significant portion of the fuel. Typical fuel pellets are about the size of a pinhead and contain around 10 milligrams of fuel: in practice, only a small proportion of this fuel will undergo fusion, but if all this fuel were consumed it would release the energy equivalent to burning a barrel of oil.
