Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
TAE vs Helion in a nutshell, and indeed, Helion is on a faster track to commercial fusion electric power. The unknowing layman may do the reflection that the faster you push in the energy needed to reach the required conditions, the faster the instabilities should evolve. But I guess they have done...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
Helion has publised an article on FRC instabilities: https://www.helionenergy.com/articles/a-note-on-frc-instabilities/ However, more detailed kinetic calculations that take the ion orbits into account, predict stability when certain conditions are met.2 Like spinning a top on your fingertip, rather...

Re: Company (Quaise Energy) plans to use fusion technology to drill for geothermal
Just to note for distant future reference, if they do cool the mantle and stop plate tectonics, carbon-based life is going to die out… Much more dangerous than Global Warming, though might take a while. Yep, it might. If humanity extracted the totality of the energy we are now using (about 20 TW by...

Re: Jäderberg future power - Swedish fusion startup
This thing is starting to take up a lot of place at the KTH site in central Stockholm with around 100 employees and a world wide net of engaged expertise. Their website is swelling but somewhat too nebulous in my opinion. Here is a fresh interview with the founder: https://www.novatronfusion.com/new...

Re: Novel plasma phenomenon announced on phys.org
As you mentioned it is purely theoretical so far. They transferred the math from existing and proven phenomena of "waves behaviors" from other fields to the electrostatic interactions between particles inside a plasma. The main idea of this paper (for what relates our interest) is to establish a ma...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
One other source of revenue for Helion not mentioned much is licensing. Once the technology is proven later this decade (something which I have little doubt will happen), the Mitsubishis and Westinghouses of the world, or those looking to supplant them, will be chomping at the bit to license the te...

Re: Happy Holidays everyone!
Wikipedia answered about the Festivus. I have no grievances to air about my fellow forum members.
But drink for a Happy New Year with good plasma performance in every single fusion contraption all over the globe and no newfound instabilities!
Of in course in non-alcoholic beer. Cardiac arythmia....

Re: ZAP Energy News
I wonder if this is a matter of ready to confirm & publish as it seems their FuseQ device test amps is high enough? From what I understand, they have the input current, but the pinch current did not increase as much yet. Could be a lot of reasons for that. Looking at what LPPF has been going throug...
