Do you see the stars?
The plasma in a Tokmak is dynamic, ie requires a lot of magnetic intervention to keep it fixed and comes with fusion pulses. There is an alternative approach called a more complex magnetic field that can support a simpler, stable plasma and a constant fusion. As applied by Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator In Germany, this meant a series of complex shaped magnets produced with extremely low tolerance for deviation. However, several companies decided to challenge.
One of them, A type of energyBasically, he reached the scene that launched Commonwealth Fusion: he made a detailed situation for physics under the regulatory design. In this case, the case can be much more detailed: Six Refereed Articles Plasma Journal of Physics. The articles detail the structural design, the behavior of the plasma in it, the processing of helium produced by fusion, the production of tritium from the neutrons produced and the heat obtained from everything.
The company partners with Oak Ridge National Lab and Tennessee Valley Authority to create a demonstration reactor in an old fossil fuel power plant. (This also Cooperating with Commonwealth As in Sparc Tokmak, this will be a mixture of technology demonstration and learning experience rather than a working power plant.
Another company that follows a stimulus design is called. Tea Energy. CEO, Brian Berzin, said to ARS to simplify the geometry of the company’s focal point for a starry and use software to enable them to produce an equivalent magnetic field. “The complexity of this device is always really, really limited,” he said. “This is what we really focus on: how can you do simpler hardware? Our way to allow simpler hardware is really a really complex software, which is something that seizes the world.”
