General Fusion to Go For Fusion Net Gain This Year
May 24, 2013 | 9 Comments
General Fusion, the Canadian firm founded in 2002, plans to accomplish a net energy gain from their experimental reactor apparatus this year. With a ‘proof of concept’ now accomplished for the first reactor device the firm hopes to drive a deuterium-deuterium reaction to fusion that will produce as much and a bit more energy than […]
