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

Helion Energy Is Building A Fusion Power Plant. Can Its Technology Deliver?
Helion Just east of Malaga, Wash. a farm town in apple country the Columbia River runs between basalt bluffs past the Rock Island Dam, which has turned water into electricity for the Pacific Northwest since 1933. Now, on a flat stretch of land nearby, a very different kind of power project is taking shape. Helion Energy, one of the world’s best-funded private fusion companies, is building what it calls Orion: A machine it says will become the world’s first fusion power plant.....Continue […] -
Sad* math. #AI exacerbated.
There's just one way to avoid #PlanetEarth's looming #massextinctionevent: we need #energy at scales unreachable by any other means.
No #fusionenergy= no future
*(sad because the incentive to achieve it is wholly incommensurate with that essential effort heretofore**.)
**(beyond our diminishingly small happenstantial survival chance in recognizable form, no other ‘solution’ exists at this time.)
