#fusionenergy — Public Fediverse posts

EPS President José María de Teresa and Secretary General Anne Pawsey met Marc Lachaise, Director of Fusion for Energy, at the Fusion for Energy HQ in Barcelona. Stimulating discussions explored physicists’ role in fusion, the value of science communication, promoting equality & diversity in physics and engineering, and the impact of materials science and AI. Thanks to Alfredo Portone for organising the inspiring visit. #FusionEnergy #Physics #ScienceCommunication #DiversityInSTEM #AI

⚛️ What is ITER actually trying to achieve?
It is not a power plant. It is a research machine, designed to demonstrate that fusion energy is feasible at scale: 500 megawatts of fusion power from 50 megawatts of input, a tenfold energy return, sustained and controlled for the first time ever.

⚛️ What does it actually take to make fusion energy work?
Temperatures above 150 million degrees Celsius. Sufficient plasma density. Long enough confinement time. All simultaneously. ITER uses a tokamak and powerful magnetic fields to achieve exactly that.
A fusion reaction releases nearly four million times more energy than burning fossil fuels.

Nice new video showing the hoist of our third toroidal field (TF) magnet for our SPARC tokamak — the fusion demonstration machine we're building at CFS HQ in Massachusetts. These electromagnets (each strong enough to lift a small aircraft carrier) will help hold a superhot cloud of charged particles called a plasma. When those particles collide — that's fusion — the process releases tremendous amounts of energy. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lflVjhWgads

Big news in fusion physics: We've published 5 peer-reviewed papers on the physics basis underpinning our ARC fusion power plant's design. Setting this foundation clears our way for next steps in design and engineering so we can get fusion energy on the grid by the early 2030s.

Details on the papers (58 co-authors, 226 pages, and an accompanying editorial) are here:

It may not be in my lifetime, but with the progress they’re making I’m sure they’ll figure this out.
