Sentences with phrase «magnetic fusion reactor»

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

One of the biggest ongoing projects is ITER in France, an international effort to build the first magnetic fusion reactor that pumps out more energy than it consumes.

Not exact matches

Avalanche boron fusion by laser picosecond block ignition with magnetic trapping for clean and economic reactor

After that I wanted to do something very practical so I switched to work on magnetic confinement fusion, as part of the ongoing effort to develop fusion reactors.

In research machines such as fusion reactors, scientists use strong magnetic fields to confine plasma, but those fields interfere with seeing what might happen during a natural dynamo.

But if we do away with solid vessels and use magnetic fields (such as in fusion reactors) instead, then higher temperatures can be reached.

After decades of slow progress with doughnut - shaped reactors, magnetic fusion labs are gambling on a redesign.

On the other hand, in magnetic field confinement fusion plasma intended for a fusion reactor, which research is being conducted at the National Institute for Fusion Science, development of high precision electron density measurements is becoming an important research topic.

Eventually, studying 3 - D knotted magnetic fields like those potentially present in ball lightning might help scientists devise better ways to control plasmas within future fusion reactors for generating power, the researchers suggest.

Inside ITER's enormous, doughnut - shaped reactor walls, magnetic fields, electric currents, microwaves, and particle beams will heat a deuterium - tritium plasma to fusion temperatures for about 20 minutes.

American researchers have shown that prospective magnetic fusion power systems would pose a much lower risk of being used for the production of weapon — usable materials than nuclear fission reactors and their associated fuel cycle.

Other studies have found ways to make future fusion reactors better optimized by precisely shaping the magnetic field generated by their electromagnetic coils.

Two major fusion research reactors are being built over the next decade — the international ITER magnetic confinement reactor (for $ 5 to 10 billion) and the US National Ignition Facility (NIF — $ 2 to 5 billion) to study «inertial confinement».
