Type One Energy Completes Key Design Milestone for Fusion Plant

A team of researchers from the world's largest stereotype (a type of experimental reactor for nuclear fusion) Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), has been able for the first time to generate ions of...

Type One Energy completes key design milestone for fusion plant

Type One Energy has reached a significant milestone with the successful completion of the first formal design review for its Infinity Two fusion power plant. The review confirms that the project remains on track to deliver a commercially viable, grid-connected fusion system capable of generating 350 megawatts of electricity. Infinity Two is based on Type One Energy’s stellarator fusion technology, the only system grounded in a peer-reviewed phys…

At the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, a significant breakthrough in fusion research has been achieved: for the first time, high-energy helium-3 ions were produced in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator, the researchers reported. (Read more)

Not only is commercial fusion one step closer, but processes on the sun could also be explained.

World’s Largest Stellarator Delivers First Helium-3 In Huge Nuclear Breakthrough

In a groundbreaking development for nuclear fusion research, scientists at the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator, the largest of its kind, have achieved a milestone. For the first time, researchers successfully generated high-energy helium-3 ions using a sophisticated technique known as ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH). The W7-X, operated by the Max Planck Institute for Plasma […] The post World’s Largest Stellarator Delivers First Helium…
