The flow of Helium 3 and deuterium increases quickly into the magnetic confinement area of a fusion rocket. In a magnetic field ten-thousand times the strength of the Earth's magnetic field, for a brief moment a Helium 3 and deuterium nucleus approached to within one-trillionth of a meter of each other and fused. The release of the energy from billions of such encounters occurring at over one-hundred million degrees Kelvin, over six times greater than the core of the Sun, soon had increased the thrust of the rocket.
Injecting hydrogen into the mix would again increase the exhaust thrust and speed of the ship if it didn't destabilize the plasma containment.
