Common fusion On Tuesday, a prototype reactor has successfully created a fourth state of superheating required for a flatiper. Milestone marks the beginning of a 93-week study to prove to fusion power to the power of the material.
Reactor, LAWSON Machine 26 (LM26) Reactor called Common fusionLast iteration on a device tested by different parts of a unique approach. The company has collected LM26 in only 16 months and hopes to shoot “Breakeven” in 2026.
General Fusion is one of the most ancient Fusion companies still operating. Founded in 2002, according to Pitchbook, it has earned $ 440 million so far. At this time, the opponents saw and fell to rise and were failed as a fusion industry, as large as the fusion industry, could not meet with Breakeven promises 20 years ago.
In the power of fusion, there are two dots called for a reaction to Breakeven. Most people think they are called commercial breakeven. This means a fusion reaction, produces more power than the whole facility consumption, and allows the power plant to put electricity to the network. No one has reached this stage yet.
The other is known as Scientific Breakeven. In this case, the fusion reaction should be produced at least as much as possible. Scientific Breakeven looks only on the boundaries of the experimental system without ignoring the rest of the object. Again, it is an important stage for any fusion attempt. So far, only US Energy National Fire Farm Office reached her.
General Fusion’s approach to the power of fusion is significantly different from other beginnings. Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) is similar to inertial arrest, for inertial firing facilities, called the inertial arrest End of 2022 To prove that the fusion can create more power than required to start.
The place where lasers used lasers to squeeze the fuel pellet in the National ATR Facilities, the MTF reactors of the General Fusion rely on steam-managed pistons. Inside the Chamber, Deuterium-tritium fuel is compressed with a little electricity to create a magnetic field that helps maintain plasma. Then the pistons, then squeezed him, driving a liquid lithium wall in plasma.
As the fuel is squeezed, the temperature is rising until it causes a fusion reaction. The reaction then heated the liquid lithium, where the company plans to circulate through a heat exchanger to create and create a generator.
MTF appeared In the 1970s The US Naval Research Laboratory prepared by researchers for compact fusion reactors. These efforts did not make fruit. General Fusion says that the pistons that squeeze the liquid liner have not controlled enough and modern computers give a better chance to perform complex choreography.
If the LM26 achieves any, a general fusion is still doing more. The device does not have a liquid lithium wall, instead, reliably relying on solid lithium compressed by electromagnets. It limits the number of trials that the company can take longer to reset the device. The company has made progress In a prototype of the liquid wall, the integration of more than 1000 tests to see how it continues in time, everything will be the problem of monumental engineering.
The burning of the passage in LM26 is now an important step for a company that races to provide a power plant in newcomers with newcomers Deep pocketbooks and aggressive times.
