===== Fusion and Fiction =====
1. //Back to the Future// (1985)
* Flux capacitor, previously used to allow the sports car to travel through time and running on plutonium replaced by "Mr Fusion"
* looks like a coffee machine

* Compact tokamaks (spherical tokamaks)
10. //The Expanse// (2015-)
* Fusion-power spaceships
* Epstein drive: modified fusion drive enabling space travel beyond Mars and colonize asteroid belt and outer planets, also enabled Mars to gain indepence
* Fusion fuel: D-He3 [https://expanse.fandom.com/wiki/Epstein_Drive]
* Magnetic bottle is mentioned
* The spaceship Rocinante uses laser-ignited fusion reactions and water as propellant
11. //The Man Who Fell to Earth// (2022)
* Quantum fusion power

* Dr. Melanie Windridge contributed as science consultant
===== Fusion in computer games =====
1. //SimCity 2000 //(1994)
* fusion power plant is ultimate power plant in SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, and SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow
* looks different in each of the Sim-titles where it appears
* last power plant to unlock
* expensive, but can power a whole city
* no risk of meltdown or any other source of pollution
