「なぜ #核融合 はあなたが思っているよりも近づいているのか 」： UNDECIDED

「 プラズマを閉じ込めて加熱するために磁気コイルや蒸気駆動のピストンに賭けている #Helion や #GeneralFusion とは異なり、#FirstLight は 26 は別の武器を利用しています...文字通り...彼らの新しいパルス点火は発射体核融合と呼ばれ、慣性閉じ込め核融合(ICF)という古い概念を発射します。」

有望核融合技術についての解説記事。

Microsoft はHelion から電力供給を受ける契約提携。2028年までに稼働する予定で、1年間の立ち上げ期間を経て50メガワット以上の発電を目標とするという。

So this #Helion #NuclearFusion reactor looks to me far more viable than the #Tokomak as multiple iterations could be produced with the limited resources one planet has to offer.

Kind of fun.

I'm currently working on Michael Fredholm von Essen's latest for Helion: Charles X's Wars vol 3 (Danish Wars 1657-1660). My best guess as a production elf is that you'll see this late Jan, but I don't make the scheduling decisions, so best keep an eye on the Helion website.

Better still, register your interest in the book directly, & get a heads up when it arrives:

Pulsed compression #fusion:

This is well worth watching, quite a bit more exciting than the recent successful experiment with #inertial confinement fusion net energy gain at the National Ignition Facility #nif

#helion is regularly producing fusion reactions now using temps of 100 million degrees. It's on a path to produce grid power directly from those fusion reactions without employing any heat exchangers or steam turbines.

Its technology can also produce the needed Helium-3 fusion fuel, making it a sustainable industry: It does this by producing Tritium, a valuable isotope which decays to Helium-3 within 12 years.

Helion has not yet reached net energy gain. But unlike other experimental fusion projects, it will immediately be able to start supplying electricity to the grid.

Helion's electricity-producing reactor is scheduled to be online by 2024.

Although it's still an incredibly complex machine that pushes the boundaries of engineering, its mode of operation is staggeringly simple: this is a nuclear fusion equivalent of a piston engine that generates electricity directly from the fusion, cutting the need for heat transfer and turbines. (It trades them for an entire warehouse of capacitors that power those million-amp coils, but who cares?)

I'd invest in them all the money I don't have.

A #scifi haiku for today's #SciFiPrompt! This poem was inspired by all the #fusion buzz lately. #RealEngineering made a video about the fusion startup #Helion & their method for creating a fusion reaction & capturing electricity using what is essentially an electromagnetic piston! Here's the video if anyone wants to learn more:

A New Way To Achieve Nuclear Fusion: Helion Energy

Helion's Trenta fusion generator is a completely novel approach to achieving nuclear fusion. Love that there are very different approaches emerging. (30-min watch)
