Although China and Great Britain are currently pioneers in artificial sun technology, it seems that the first compact devices will appear in the US military.
At least these are the plans of the Pentagon, which for several years has been investing sky-high funds in futuristic technologies of the future for the modernization of the army in the reality of a growing threat from China. The fusion reactors built by Great Britain, China, South Korea and the European Union have the size of a building.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the military is developing a compact version at the Naval Air Warfare Center, which will be fully mobile and will not take up much space on ships. Engineer Salvatore Caesar Pais developed for the Pentagon the concept of a fusion reactor based on a completely different technology than currently used.
in the world.
It is based on a part called dynamic fusor.
According to this patent, the Paisa plasma chamber contains several pairs of these dynamic fusers which rapidly spin and vibrate within the chamber to produce a "concentrated flux of magnetic energy".
Its job is to compress the gases together. The fusers are electrically charged in the shape of a cone and pump fuel gases, such as deuterium or deuterium-xenon, into the chamber, which are then subjected to intense heat and pressure to cause the nuclei to melt.
Engineers' calculations show that the device has the potential to generate more than a terawatt of energy, while consuming energy levels ranging from kilowatt to megawatt.
This means that the compact artificial sun will be cost-effective and will provide enough energy to run even the most demanding vessels. Interestingly, the British recently made a major breakthrough in building the first functional nuclear fusion reactors.
Scientists from the Tokamak Energy company presented the latest and most advanced HTS magnets in the world, made of high-temperature superconducting material.
According to the company's plan, magnets with such properties were not to be created until the end of 2020, but scientists managed to prepare them now.
Thanks to them, work on the construction of a functional fusion reactor will now significantly accelerate.
