Electron Power Systems claims (as of 2004) to have developed a plasma toroid technology called the Electron Spiral Toroid (EST). ESTs, according to Electron Power Systems (n.d.), remain stable in Earth's atmosphere without the use of any special magnetic fields, a quality that contributes to its cost- and size-efficiency. Also because of their lack of need for an external magnetic field, they can complement fusion technology to create small fusion reactors, which is accomplished by colliding ESTs together (Electron Power Systems, n.d.). Electron Power Systems (n.d.) accelerates ESTs magnetically.
