For fusion power aficionados, hitting “breakeven” is something of a Holy Grail: the point at which a fusion reaction produces more power than was required to ignite it. Only one scientific ...
The Century prototype occupies about as much space as a double-decker bus. Image Credits:Zap Energy Zap is taking a unique approach to fusion power known as sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch ...
If Zap really can make fusion power available at a fraction of the cost and scale of some rival fusion research systems, and make good on its promise of “commercial” power plants in the early ...
Fusion power developer Zap Energy, based near Seattle, has begun operations of Century, its first fully-integrated demonstration of three major plant-relevant technologies operating at up to 100 ...
It's a running joke among scientists that fusion power generation is 30 years away, and always will be, but if this DOE project comes to fruition, viable technology could be expected in about a decade ...
Credit: SciTechDaily.com Tungsten, the preferred material for tokamak fusion reactors, poses challenges due to sputtering that cools plasma, making fusion hard to sustain. Researchers at PPPL suggest ...
A Seattle-based company has unveiled its new nuclear fusion prototype with the goal of delivering commercially viable fusion energy as soon as possible. Zap Energy revealed its Century device, which ...
A software tool is now available to help streamline the design and construction of fusion power plants. The open-source Fusion Synthesis Engine (FUSE) was developed by General Atomics to integrate the ...
Additionally, the startup pointed toward recent advances in inertial fusion and pulsed power, and said it aims to build on those advances. Pacific Fusion is pursuing a pulsed magnetic path to ...
