Can't find anything in Google Patents with a publication date after 11-Nov-2022.

The publication date on Patent A (application) is 17-Nov-2022.

The internet seems to think Google patents is updated every few months, so might be a while to wait.

Actually these are two different patents, as the URLs seem to imply: Mine above is ...patent/20220367069 call this patent A Yours is ...patent/WO2022101356A1..... call this patent B and leaving aside the reference numbers, the text is different! Annoyingly, I can't find patent A on Google patents, a...

Also this, his self publicity from linkedin: Jan Jäderberg CTO at Novatron Fusion Group Novatron Fusion Group ABKTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Stockholm, Sverige …. I have been active in various high-tech areas and, among other things, invented new methods to control plasma in PVD-equi...

Found this, patent application from 2020

Added: the diagrams seem to me to be MIA. Maybe someone familiar might find the patent application at USTPO: the site is greek to me.

OK, incorrect as stated. Maybe 'private tokamaks' record? Don't know, and if so not so much competition.

Two new press releases: https://www.tokamakenergy.co.uk/2022/10/21/tokamak-energy-announces-triple-product-on-the-path-to-commercial-fusion-energy-presented-at-the-american-physical-society-plasma-physics-conference/ https://www.tokamakenergy.co.uk/2022/10/26/tokamak-energy-announces-st80-hts-advanc...

This sounds interesting, a supposedly new operational mode to control instabilities in Tokamaks. I haven’t read the paper itself:

Well that all reconciles: 18 months at one every 10 minutes is about 80,000 shots. Allow them to sleep, and tens of thousands is about right. But that’s of the order of a day at 1Hz. There is room for doubt that any wear component be it divertor, capacitor, vacuum pump etc is sufficiently robust for...

18 months runtime - but how many runs?

In production, even at 1Hz, the number of runs will mount very fast.

Where are they really?

"As will be shown, for all operating conditions above 20 keV, a high-beta D-He-3 FRC outperforms a low-Beta D-T plasma in terms of electrical and fusion power output."

Do I buy popcorn?

Narrowly you’re right. But the observation that projects fail because of unforeseen problems is right, and always will be. That said, the confluence of progress at the moment is remarkable. Maybe all we’ve ever needed were mega-amp, megavolt systems with megajoule capacitor banks and mega-gauss fiel...

Cold fusion conference:

Looks like fun! Apparently the biggest in a few decades…

Like I said, the hot (government) fusion guys will not go quietly. The treatment of cold fusion is….. relevant?

FWIW I didn’t rate their chances of success very highly. They seem to be wanting to re-invent the HTSC manufacturing process. They want a 45 cm (!!) thick flow of lithium hydride down the wall of a horizontal cylinder, pinned by lorentz forces, with liquid lead floating on top (?). And they are look...

Cross post here from the Avalanche thread:

Seems like most people will lie to your face to protect their livelihood. I think she’s right, the confusion over Q is deliberate where it helps. However, this is mostly common knowledge, so doesn’t ‘blow up’ anything, I think. Worth thinking about what the ITER ‘industry’ does when/if Helion genera...
