I think thermonuclear fusion will be achieved in a spherical tokamak. I have a hypothesis that gravitational field intensity can be manipulated to lower the needed amount of hydrogen before critical mass is achieved and a star is formed. I want to make a star the size of a golf ball.

anyone know what the main problems are atm? sustaining the reaction? getting the containment to work? getting cheaper and more cost efficient containment so that it generates net energy? all of the above?

My impression is that it's a constant "all of the above" due to the unmanageability of the magnetic field.

The problem now is only the magnets. Once they have enough tesla it makes fusion very easy.

Commonweath Fusion Systems

Small team out of MIT has gathered hundreds of millions in funding from around the world to build a minitures tokamac that will produce q=10 power before ITER ever comes online.

High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) will allow stronger magnetic fields at higher temps (than normal superconducting magnets), in a smaller compact reactor. The bending HTS will allow the reactor to fold open for easy maitnance and blanket replacement.

The blanket will use Lithium Salts as the cooling medium, which will also breed tritium on site.

Fusion is working perfect, for billions of years. We get it day by day for free. All we need to do is harvesting all this energy. Guess what, we finally figured it out.

>> No.11313273

>>11313177
No one is actually interested in fusion technologies with huge potential like that one or the one that uses pneumatically pumped liquid metal. They are just here to post

>hurr durr 20 years away forever

Despite the fact that the 20 year claims were baseless extrapolations for the development of the needed technology. Now we have the needed technology and its just development time of the final product.

because people are to stupid to use a hydro electric damn to store a nuclear chair reaction that is so strong that it breaks up into quarks and electrons. humans are fucking stupid and can't understand the most basic of concepts. you can only train them like a god damned monkey or parrot to do a simple task. a ring, sphere, cylinder... it literally doesn't matter the shape you use. why the hell is everyone fucking stupider then shit?

Well said.

We've been in the dark the past 15 months on what CFS has built, but the first talk I linked shows the lab, and explains they are well into magnet fabrication. Sadly the company is private and no details will be shown until patents. "15 years" starting 2~ years ago.

Tokamak Energy has a bloody youtube channel. They are also using HTS, but without the blanket (for now). They are powering up reactor number two, and fabricating the HTS as well.
