Sentences with phrase «magnetic fusion experiments»

Creating the new spectrometer are physicists Kenneth Hill and Manfred Bitter, whose diagnostic designs are used in magnetic fusion experiments around the world.

Not exact matches

Also backed by the United States, Russia, China and Japan, ITER is the largest of the various fusion experiments underway and proposes to trigger fusion using a super-conducting magnetic compression process.

Researchers designed an effective algorithm for the National Spherical Torus Experiment - Upgrade, a magnetic fusion reactor at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

This approach to fusion differs from experiments on the NSTX - U, which confines low - density plasma in magnetic fields to produce fusion reactions.

The upgraded machine doubles the heating power, magnetic field strength and plasma current relative to its predecessor, and increases the duration of fusion experiments — or «shots» — to up to five seconds.

The plasmas in NSTX are, like most fusion experiments, confined using magnetic fields and walls designed to withstand the heat from plasmas with temperatures that exceed 100 million degrees Centigrade.

The next major experimental step in magnetic fusion is ITER — the international experiment that will generate 500 megawatts of fusion power, at a physical scale of a power plant.
