New types of fusion reactor
- Thread starter BMD
- Start date
So this is hybrid laser-inertial and magnetic confinement combined.
Government Scientists 'Approaching What is Required for Fusion' in Breakthrough Energy Research - Slashdot
Scientists hoping to harness nuclear fusion -- the same energy source that powers the Sun and other stars -- have confirmed that magnetic fields can enhance the energy output of their experiments, reports a new study. The results suggest that magnets may play a key role in the development of...

Projectile Based Inertial Fusion | Fusion Power | First Light Fusion
Projectile fusion is a new approach to inertial fusion that is simpler, more energy efficient, and has lower physics risk. The key enabler is First Light’s unique new target technology
Power Plant Design | First Light Fusion
The power plant design avoids the three biggest engineering challenges of fusion: preventing neutron damage, producing tritium, and managing extreme heat flux.
Largest Pulsed Power Facility in Europe | M3 Machine | First Light Fusion
M3 is one of the largest pulsed power facilities in the world and the largest in Europe. It is the only machine of this type uniquely dedicated to fusion research.

Microsoft agrees to buy electricity generated from Sam Altman-backed fusion company Helion in 2028
Sam Altman has invested $375 million into Helion. His other big bet is artificial intelligence company OpenAI, in which Microsoft is an investor.
Elucidating the mechanism of protective layers on fusion reactors that resist peeling
Fusion reactors, fast breeder reactors, and solar thermal power plants are being developed as power plants with low environmental impact and no resource constraints. Since these power plants operate at high temperature with large-heat transfer, scientists are studying the use of components that...
