As of 2023, the Wendelstein 7-X reactor is the world's largest stellarator device. [3] After two successful operation phases ending in October 2018, the reactor was taken offline for upgrades. [4] [5] The upgrade completed in 2022. New fusion experiments in February 2023 demonstrated longer confinement and increased power. [6]
A fusor, exhibiting nuclear fusion in star mode. Inertial electrostatic confinement, or IEC, is a class of fusion power devices that use electric fields to confine the plasma rather than the more common approach using magnetic fields found in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) designs.
In June 2006, the company name was changed to Fusion Multisystems, Incorporated. [4] [5] A product with the brand name ioDrive was demonstrated and announced in September 2007. [6] In March 2008, Fusion-io raised $19 million in a series A round of funding from a group of investors led by New Enterprise Associates. [7]
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a fusion energy process that initiates nuclear fusion reactions by compressing and heating targets filled with fuel. The targets are small pellets, typically containing deuterium ( 2 H) and tritium ( 3 H).
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), also known as HT-7U (Hefei Tokamak 7 Upgrade), is an experimental superconducting tokamak magnetic fusion energy reactor in Hefei, China. Operated by the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science conducting its experiments for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, EAST began its operations in 2006.
