Inside a Working Fusion Reactor
This video is a facility tour of TAE Technologies' working fusion reactor, which uses a Field Reverse Configuration (FRC) approach. The FRC consists of a small spinning ring of plasma that creates its own magnetic field and exhibits self-organizing properties. The company claims the curious stability of their plasma configuration stems from interacting with the energy medium inherent to spacetime rather than emptiness. TAE achieves high beta values near 100% compared to tokamaks at about 10%, making it possible to pursue advanced fusion fuels like boron-11. Their reactor uses neutral beam injectors to create and sustain a plasmoid structure in the center, contained by magnetic mirrors at the ends. Their facility includes complex power systems using capacitor banks capable of 100,000 amps at tens of thousands of volts, plus extensive pumping to achieve near-space vacuum conditions. The presenter compares this approach favorably to other fusion companies and suggests similar technology is being developed by competitors.
The Fundamental Problem With Tokamak Fusion
Robert Bussard explains fundamental problems with tokamak fusion and why spherical electric field fusion is superior. Proton boron 11 fusion releases three helium atoms with no neutrons radiation free unlike DT fusion. Tokamaks suffer from right hand rule magnetic forces that do not restore particles, causing random walk processes where particles jump to walls after thousand collisions before fusion occurs, requiring machines measured in meters. ITER projected cost 12 billion with another 30 billion over next 25-30 years, US already spent 18 billion on tokamaks with no end in sight. Stars are spherical fusion reactors none toroidal held together by central force fields. Spherical electric fields with 1 over r squared convergence cause particles to focus toward center increasing density squared, fusion power goes as density squared cross section velocity volume.
