Target chamber of the Shiva laser, used for inertial confinement fusion experiments from 1978 until decommissioned in 1981 Plasma chamber of TFTR, used for magnetic confinement fusion experiments, which produced 11 MW of fusion power in 1994. Experiments directed toward developing fusion power are invariably done with dedicated machines which ...
The START Tokamak fusion experiment begins in Culham. The experiment would eventually achieve a record beta [broken anchor] (plasma pressure compared to magnetic field pressure) of 40% using a neutral beam injector. It was the first design that adapted the conventional toroidal fusion experiments into a tighter spherical design.
The following is a list of fusion power technologies that have been practically attempted: ... IEC with Penning trap (Penning Fusion Experiment - PFX, LANL) F1 ...
The world's largest stellarator experiment, Wendelstein 7-X, began operation in 2015. The current record of fusion power generated by MCF devices is held by JET. In 1997, JET set the record of 16 megawatts of transient fusion power with a gain factor of Q = 0.62 and 4 megawatts steady state fusion power with Q = 0.18 for 4 seconds. [3]
That experiment briefly achieved what's known as fusion ignition by generating 3.15 megajoules of energy output after the laser delivered 2.05 megajoules to the target, the Energy Department said.
Fusion energy is a “huge step” closer after a landmark experiment produced world record results and demonstrated its potential to deliver safe and sustainable low-carbon energy, experts say.
This is a list of experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is the most energetic particle collider in the world, and is used to test the accuracy of the Standard Model, and to look for physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and others.
The Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) was an experiment investigating the generation of fusion power using the concept of a levitated dipole.The device was the first of its kind to test the levitated dipole concept and was funded by the US Department of Energy. [1]
