Fusion power designs aren t cheap enough to outperform systems that use fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.
and will present results this week at the International atomic energy agency s Fusion energy Conference in St petersburg Russia. ight now this design has the greatest potential of producing economical fusion power of any current conceptsays Thomas Jarboe a professor
A fusion power plant producing 1 gigawatt (1 billion watts) of power would cost $2. 7 billion
and get significant fusion power output. The team has filed patents on the reactor concept and plans to continue developing
#South korea makes billion-dollar bet on fusion power South korea has embarked on the development of a preliminary concept design for a fusion power demonstration reactor in collaboration with the US Department of energy's Princeton Plasma physics Laboratory (PPPL) in New jersey.
The project is named provisionally K-DEMO (Korean Demonstration Fusion power Plant), and its goal is to develop the design for a facility that could be completed in the 2030s in Daejeon, under the leadership of the country s National Fusion Research Institute (NFRI).
and to immediately proceed to construct a fusion power plant like K-DEMO, says Stephen Dean, president of Fusion power Associates, an advocacy group in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
K-DEMO will serve as prototype for the development of commercial fusion reactors. According to the PPPL, it will generate"some 1 billion watts of power for several weeks on end,
establishing the know-how to permit the construction of a commercial fusion power plant between 2022 and 2036.
Fusion power increases with the fourth power of magnetic field, so 2x field produces 16x power. ny increase in the magnetic field gives you a huge win,
but there is enough for 10x fusion power, said MIT. By combining REBCO magnets with known fusion principles, the team has designed a research reactor,
Increasing the amplitude of the surrounding magnetic field raises the amount of fusion power produced in the plasma to the fourth power dramatic increase that could lead to a commercial prototype in a matter of years,
