On shear flow stabilization concepts for the dense z – pinch by Winterberg (17 page pdf) Different ways to achieve the stabilization of a linear z-pinch by a superimposed shear flow are analyzed. They are: 1) Axial shear flow proposed by Arber and Howell with the pinch discharge in its center, and experimentally tested by …
Helion Energy Researchers proposing two intermediate systems that last one could be useful for fusion/fission hybrid on the way to full fusion energy Development of a High Fluence Fusion Neutron Source and Component Test Facility Based on the Magneto-kinetic Compression of FRCs by John Slough who is working on developing a Fusion Reactor This was …
Tel Aviv University (TAU) has a dissolving wound dressing to fight deadly infections. Seventy percent of all people with severe burns die from related infections. Now a new wound-dressing technology from Tel Aviv University could cut that figure dramatically. Prof. Meital Zilberman of TAU`s Department of Biomedical Engineering has developed new soluble fibers that can …
Scientists from the Desalination Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) recovered uranium at milligram levels from sea water using electron beam grafted amidoxime. BARC and the Commissariat a’ Energie Atomique (CEA), France, are collaborating to develop three innovative and efficient methods of uranium extraction. The first method uses resin-grafted with calixarene (a synthetic material, indecently …
1. Nanoletters: Transfer-Free Batch Fabrication of Single Layer Graphene Transistors Full integration of graphene into conventional device circuitry would require a reproducible large scale graphene synthesis that is compatible with conventional thin film technology. We report the synthesis of large scale single layer graphene directly onto an evaporated copper film. A novel fabrication method was …
Helion Energy has built a one third scale fusion system and believes a full scale prototype can be buit for $20 million a commercial system for $100 million. One of the reasons that they believe their costs can be lower is because smaller generators in general cost less. Torulf has created graphic animations and images …
This 2005 presentation on using nuclear fusion for propulsion in space within 20 years of the start of a development program mentions John Slough’s work and the graphics match what is being used by Helion Energy. Star Thrust experiment page (1000 to 1 million ISP) This work was in the 1990s. Helion Energy development of …
Helion Energy has built a one third scale fusion generator and wants $20 million to build a full scale prototype by 2011. They would need another $100 million or so to build a first commercial version by 2019. Successful development of commercial nuclear fusion should revolutionize space travel, energy production and provide massive economic benefits …
