This fusor can reach 85 kV and do deuterium fusion, producing 2.4 × 10 4 neutrons per second. [5] University of Illinois Dr. George Miley's team at the fusion studies laboratory has built a ~25 cm fusor which has produced 1 × 10 7 neutrons per second using deuterium gas. [6]
8.5 m / 2.4 m [61] 5.94 T: 12.3 MA: Prototype for development of Commercial Fusion Reactors 1.5–2 GW Fusion output. [62] K-DEMO (Korean fusion demonstration tokamak reactor) [63] Planned: 2037? National Fusion Research Institute: 6.8 m / 2.1 m: 7 T: 12 MA ? Prototype for the development of commercial fusion reactors with around 2200 MW of ...
The experiment probes the dynamics of long-pulse, collisionless, [1] low s-parameter [2] field-reversed configurations (FRCs) formed with odd-parity rotating magnetic fields. [3] [4] FRCs are the evolution of the Greek engineer's Nicholas C. Christofilos original idea of E-layers which he developed for the Astron fusion reactor. [5]

The FRC was first observed in laboratories in the late 1950s during theta pinch experiments with a reversed background magnetic field. [3] The original idea was attributed to the Greek scientist and engineer Nicholas C. Christofilos who developed the concept of E-layers for the Astron fusion reactor. [4]
Lawson calculated the fusion rate by assuming that the fusion reactor contains a hot plasma cloud which has a Gaussian curve of individual particle energies, a Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution characterized by the plasma's temperature. Based on that assumption, he estimated the first term, the fusion energy being produced, using the volumetric ...
The source frequency is 80 MHz and the standard minority heating scenarios are D(H) for 4.4–6.9 T and D(3He) for high field operation (7.3–8.0 T). [2] A minority species (Hydrogen or He3) is indicated, and ICRH scenarios use a two-component plasma. Absorption efficiency varies with the minority concentration.
The deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reaction is considered the most promising for producing fusion power. Schematic of a DEMO nuclear fusion power plant. When deuterium and tritium fuse, the two nuclei come together to form a resonant state which splits to form in turn a helium nucleus (an alpha particle) and a high-energy neutron. 2 1 H + 3 1 H ...
