Re: Realta Fusion - Mirrors with HTS end plugging - another startup
I found this also: https://www.dailycardinal.com/article/2025/10/how-three-madison-researchers-broke-ground-in-the-fusion-world The simulation showed that by introducing tactics to control the instability, WHAM could confine plasma for around 100 microseconds. Though this number is still lower than ...

Re: Realta Fusion - Mirrors with HTS end plugging - another startup
Another disappointment! Seemingly bad news: https://www.ornl.gov/news/ornl-leads-three-infuse-projects-solving-fusion-challenges WHAM generated its first plasma in July 2024, but exhibited relatively short confinement times. To address this issue and better predict device performance, Realta is deve...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
What else can they do? There is no He3 to buy so they have to make it themselves from the D-D reaction. This is not quite correct. There is He3 to buy. It costs 20,000 USD/gram. Not economic for power plants, but does not matter for tests. May it be as it will with that. They will still have to run...

Re: Lyten - Lithium Sulfur Battery
Oh dear... Northvolt was a massive failure. Some even say it was a scam. Whatever it was, the money is gone and the Lyten Company got themselves a huge amount of hardware and real estate. At a bargain price. The press here in Sweden has called the spectacle "the ant that bought a dead elephant". So...

Re: Lyten - Lithium Sulfur Battery
The Lyten company has acquired the former Northvolt establishment in Skellefteå, Sweden: https://www.di.se/nyheter/northvolt-saljs-till-amerikanska-lyten/ The American battery manufacturer Lyten is buying Northvolt. The assets are valued at 50 billion kronor – but Lyten has not paid that much. “The ...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
Hmm. So I guess the strategy is to use D-D to tune the device for the right plasma conditions (e.g. triple product), then D-He3 and further tuning to maximize the fusion, then yet more tuning to maximize the direct energy out. Hopefully that will demonstrate net electricity production. It seems to ...

Someone has obviously found it worthwhile to spend the money needed for a patent application for this contraption:

Re: General Fusion in the news
Bad news indeed, but you have to remember, the goals of the climate change cult are ultimately anti-human. The point is fewer humans, so cheap, abundant, clean energy isn't part of that plan. The easiest way to achieve depopulation is prosperity through fusion energy. Fertility rates drops drastica...

Re: Small Tri Alpha news blurp
Interesting formation technique. That will certainly help making their machines smaller and cheaper to build. What is notable to me mostly how low the temperatures they are operating at still are today. This makes it possible for them to omit the two big drums at each end of the machine. Correctly ...
