Techcrunch has learned that the only positive fusion experience in the world is to increase the amount of energy it produces.
In recent attempts, the team in the National Energy Ministry of Energy Foundation (NIF) has increased the return on the experience, first to 5.2 MB, then again to 8.6 MB, according to a source with knowledge of the experiment.
The new results are significant improvements to the historical experience in 2022, which was the first reaction to fusion to generate more energy than its consumption.
The snapshot was born 2022 3.15 MB, a small bump over 2.05 MB that laser hand to the BB fuel peel.
None of the shots so far were effective enough to feed the electrons again in the network, not to mention compensation for the energy required to operate the entire facility – the facility was not designed to do so. The first positive snapshot of the network, for example, requires 300 MB to operate the laser system alone. But they are constant evidence that the controlled nuclear fusion is more than hypothetical.
NIF uses what is known as self -deficiency to produce fusion reactions. In the facility, Fusion Fuel is coated with diamonds and then wrapped in a small golden cylinder called Hohloum. This little beloved is dropped in a spherical vacuum room 10 meters away, with 192 strong laser packages over the target.
The cylinder was evaded under the attack, emitting X -rays in the process that bombed the fuel Pele inside. Diamond coating in Pele receives a lot of energy so that it turns into an expansion plasma, which presses the fuel of the Treeti diotiire at the interior to the point where its nuclei is released, which releases energy in this process.
Another main approach to fusion, magnetic imprisonment is used as a strong magnet for the superior connection of pressure and plasma containing a narrow space enough to create the conditions needed for fusion. Although there are no magnetic imprisonment experiments that have produced clear positive results, many of them are built or designed with the expectation to reach this teacher.
Several startups are pursuing self -deficiency, including XCimer energy and concentrated energy.
