5 Big Ideas for Making Fusion Power a Reality

Startups, universities, and major companies are vying to commercialize a nuclear fusion reactor

Over the past several years, more than two dozen research groups—impressively staffed and well-funded startups, university programs, and corporate projects—have achieved eye-opening advances in controlled nuclear fusion. They’re building fusion reactors based on radically different designs that challenge the two mainstream approaches, which use either a huge, doughnut-shaped magnetic vessel called a tokamak or enormously powerful lasers.

What’s more, some of these groups are predicting significant fusion milestones within the next five years, including reaching the breakeven point at which the energy produced surpasses the energy used to spark the reaction. That’s shockingly soon, considering that the mainstream projects pursuing the conventional tokamak and laser-based approaches have been laboring for decades and spent billions of dollars without achieving breakeven.

In Cambridge, Mass., MIT-affiliated researchers at Commonwealth Fusion Systems say their latest reactor design is on track to exceed breakeven by 2025. In the United Kingdom, a University of Oxford spin-off called First Light Fusion claims it will demonstrate breakeven in 2024. And in Southern California, the startup TAE Technologies has issued a breathtakingly ambitious five-year timeline for commercialization of its fusion reactor.

Irrational exuberance? Maybe. Fusion research is among the most costly of endeavors, depending on high inflows of cash just to pay a lab’s electricity bills. In the pursuit of funding, the temptation to overstate future achievements is strong. And past expectations of impending breakthroughs have repeatedly been dashed. What’s changed now is that advances in high-speed computing, materials science, and modeling and simulation are helping to topple once-recalcitrant technical hurdles, and significant amounts of money are flowing into the field.

Some of the new fusion projects are putting the newest generation of supercomputers to work to better understand and tweak the behavior of the ultrahigh-temperature plasma in which hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium. Others have reopened promising lines of inquiry that were shelved decades ago. Still others are exploiting new superconductors or hybridizing the mainstream concepts.

Despite their powerful tools and creative approaches, many of these new ventures will fail. But if just one succeeds in building a reactor capable of producing electricity economically, it could fundamentally transform the course of human civilization. In a fusion reaction, a single gram of the hydrogen isotopes that are most commonly used could theoretically yield the same energy as 11 metric tons of coal, with helium as the only lasting by-product.

The Electrical Mechanism of the Ether

by A. Press, B. Sc. — The Electrical Experimenter, September 1916.

The electrical theory of Maxwell was based on the assumption that when a body was electrified something in the nature of a displacement passed from the body into the ether, and from the ether to some other material object or objects said to be electrified.

That the displacement was not material, that is had no weight, went without saying, for with the most delicate chemical balance no difference in weight could be detected. It, therefore, had to partake of an ether-like displacement because the ether has no weight.

Maxwell conceived the idea that is was this mysterious displacement, by an unrevealed physical mechanism, that caused electrified bodies to be attracted or repelled according to the well known material Newtonian laws of mechanics.

Whereas, the electrical displacement is intangible as it were, because it involves the ether only, forces always very visibly manifested at the material bounding surfaces of the ether were conceived to take place by virtue of a special displacement mechanism which Maxwell assumed. This displacement mechanism was considered to be located in the ether itself rather than in the electrified material bodies.

Forces there must be in the ether, but it is necessary to remember that we can make sure of their existence only by mechanical reactions of the ether upon material bodies. When the forces refer wholly to the ether they are designated as "generalized" forces. Thus, although an electromotive force is regarded as setting up a flux of electric displacement this force cannot be considered a true force in the Newtonian sense, for matter is not involved, except indirectly. The mechanical of Newtonian forces that are observable on electrical bodies always imply matter, Electrical instruments are employed to measure E.M.F.'s (potentials) and currents, but it is very obvious that what were really measuring are the reactions of the ether upon material bodies and not the forces that act wholly and entirely on the parts of the medium itself.

The question can arise whether electricity as such can exist apart from matter. Heaviside is decidedly of the opinion that is cannot. We know that like charges repel each other and therefore the functions of the material bounding surfaces of the ether appears to keep the like elemental charges together. Just how this property is maintained is at once one of the mysteries and distinguishable properties of matter.

COPPER COBWEB CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION

https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/copper-cobweb-circuit-construction

Are you bored with conventional two-dimensional circuit layouts, or looking for a way to add an artistic flair to your next project? Point-to-point circuit construction has been around for decades, but it usually uses supporting structures like terminal strips that are functional but not pleasing to the eye. I’ve taken the point-to-point construction style a step further by making it self-supporting, which opens up a wide range of physical circuit topologies. I call this construction style the copper cobweb, and it can bring new life to classic circuits like a Johnson ring counter (Figure 1), a simple digital clock kit (Figure 2), or a “Cylon eye” LED flasher (Figure 3).

POTUS losing the election is not a problem for Q

This is part of the plan

How else are you gonna show people that their society is TOTALLY CORRUPT

And that they are all part of the problem

If they don't get off their asses and FIX THE PROBLEMS?

We The People Have All The Power!

It's official!

P = Pandemic

[P] = Pandemic in the killbox

Soros takes orders from Pandemic, lord of all creation, demon of demons

He is so evil that they had to naema disease after him.

The true achilles heel is that it isn't there.

That's right, digital currency isn't there.

You just imagine that it is there.

So what happens when you get better

And you stop imagining things?

When you see clearly,

Digital currency goes poof!

It's known as the insanity standard

The currency is backed by insanity!

Where's the beef?

Even hamburgers make better currency than digital.

When you really look hard at it…

He's been slow walking all the important investigations/prosecutions

And his background is suspect

Including his Jewish/Catholic OSS father.

We the people should really be asking tough questions about Barr's DOJ

P.S. Bill Barr.

All this bloody nonsense does not change the fact

That P_Pers

Is a reference to

P = Persia

Because the main enemy infiltrators

Are all Iranian-Pakistani's masquerading as blacks and hispanics and whatever

The Persian empire Zoroastrian fire worshippers known as the Parsi or Pharisees are behind everything

The are the Order of the Lamp of the Invisible Light.
