Laser Fusion Gets a New Take On Heating Fuel
January 29, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A research team at Osaka University has investigated a new method for generating nuclear fusion power. They are showing that the relativistic effect of ultra-intense laser light improves upon current “fast ignition” methods in laser-fusion research to heat the fuel long enough to generate electrical power. These findings could provide another spark for laser […]

Lab Achieves Micro Scale Nuclear Fusion
March 20, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Colorado State University scientists using a compact but powerful laser to heat arrays of ordered nanowires have demonstrated micro-scale nuclear fusion in the lab. They have achieved record-setting efficiency for the generation of neutrons – chargeless sub-atomic particles resulting from the fusion process. The process that powers the sun, happens when nuclear reactions between light […]

More Fantastic Fusion Than Rossi’s E-Cat
November 30, 2011 | 12 Comments
More Fantastic Than Rossi’s E-Cat Out of Cleantech via Al Fin Energy comes a hint of a nuclear fusion company more fantastic than the Rossi E-Cat. While the E-Cat is already looking at manufacturing facilities, the newest drama comes from Australia. Authors of a fresh Kachan report on new, safer, cleaner nuclear technology interviewed dozens […]

Bussard Fusion Update
November 11, 2011 | 1 Comment
Dr. Robert Bussard’s EMC2 Corp. with the U.S. Navy using recovery act funding working on inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) nuclear fusion based on the theory and prior work of Dr. Bussard has issued a very brief report. The plan is to determine if the experimental plasma scaling agrees with the theoretical models. The U.S. Navy […]
