RV_ Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 The breakthrough here resulted in a sustained reaction using only 22Watts of power. This development green lighted the actual prototype build. Bill Gates backs this R&D. Excerpt: "The future of clean energy seems to be just around the corner. After three years of intensive research and design work, a team led by MIT scientists ramped up a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet until it generated a record-breaking magnetic field with a strength of 20 tesla – the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth. The MIT scientists are working with Bill Gates-backed Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to develop the world’s strongest fusion magnet that was tested at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. During the test, it produced a strong magnetic field required for the fusion process while consuming just 30 watts of power. The successful demonstration – carried out on September 5 for the first time – helps resolve the greatest uncertainty in the quest to build the world’s first fusion power plant that can produce more power than it consumes. The breakthrough paves the way, they say, for the long-sought creation of practical, inexpensive, and carbon-free power plants that could make a major contribution to limiting the effects of global climate change."
