The Missing Link in Fusion Research

Video Transcript

Fusion energy is safe in the sense that we're talking about releasing a small amount of neutrons compared to to fishision compared to classical nuclear energy. So it's technically safer and there's since there's no cascading effect since we don't have that cascade that we cause for nuclear fusion or uh sorry nuclear fishision reactions a bomb reactions we can just turn it off whenever we want. Let me repeat this. This is huge. Why is it safe compared to a nuclear reactor? In a nuclear reactor, we're afraid of a meltdown. We're afraid of a runaway. We're afraid of a runaway reaction where it's going to boom, blow up, what have you. But in fusion, all you have to do is hit the switch and turn it off. The moment you stop feeding the fusion reaction, it's going to die off. Kind of like keeping a little fire alive, right? keeping a little fire alive at the campfire. You wake up the next morning, there's a few smoldering coals. Keep it, burn it. Right now, I think that a fusion reaction, if we were able to make one that's on the scale of a black hole, then I think you do have a runaway concern. But nobody here, definitely not David Kirkley, are talking about creating black holes. They're talking about energy production on a much smaller scale than that. If we're able to make a black hole, I think that's where we would start to look at Q factors in the thousands, millions, maybe infinite essentially. But at that point, I mean, we don't know. We don't know. Oh, yeah. Here's how nuclear fusion works. I do want to watch a little bit of this. So, David Kirkley knows a lot, guys. I have to point out that he goes through kind of the history of inertial confinement fusion and how laser fusion separated from uh magneto inertial fusion and the subtle differences as we suspected. They're all pretty much the same thing. They're all the same underlying concept, but they have slight derivations in terms of how they approach it. And it's very interesting because he's going to say here, but just in case I don't uh play the clip that when they did laser fusion, they discovered something new about plasma. They discovered something new about plasma. And what they discovered was field reverse configuration. Field reverse configuration. Okay, let's listen to a bit. Inertial fusion. you're trying to do is bring together and push together by a variety of means, physical means, those particles, you push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. Our colleagues at the National Ignition Facility did this really well and made world records in the last few years for being able to demonstrate you can do this and do it at scale where you take very high power laser lasers and pulse them together to combine them to do fusion for a pulse for a very short period of time, nanoseconds, billionth of a second. The other extreme and you mentioned tokamax and stellarators. Stellarators are actually my favorite and so we'll talk about those graduate student infusion. And the accelerator is the first thing you learn about because there's a mathematical solution for a stellar that solves perfectly and and um and and you can write it out and you can solve it and analytically it's very simple. Building one is very hard and so it's taken humanity a number of decades to be able to build accelerators and we can do it now um with the Windows 9 7X that came online uh in the last few years being the premier accelerator in the world. >> I should say all the different ways to do Fusion. So I think I've also learned what's going on in terms of like people say and and rightfully there's good questions to be asked which are like Ashton how if they figured this out how is it been how come we don't have it right now right the number one question is if they figured out fusion with the Hbomb the 60s were a long time ago why are we just now getting fusion online in 2025 why is helen energy the one to do this why didn't it happened in 2000 1990s partially the material science partially because what did I just say early on we need magnetic fields that are extremely powerful we didn't have them we didn't have high super high temperature high magnetic field strength super electromagnets whatever we needed right the other part of it is that he is kind of he is actually like part of getting this out to the public. The they've been slowly researching it over time, getting better at it, and the government wasn't the one doing it. It had to come from the private sector. So, there had to be this whole process of, okay, these people know about it, and now they're going to go try to commercialize it. And they had to get blessed, you know, by the government, uh, as well. So a lot of this goes back to the government labs and the people that worked on the government labs. It goes back to the initial funding was from the department of energy. He even says in this that most of the initial research came from sibers. Those are the government defense contracts that they give to engineers. So we I think we are watching it play out. and their research helium fusion. He says in this interview for the first time I had never seen anywhere else that their first reactor started in 2003 2003. So Helian Fusion has been doing this for decades. And this also lines up the MH370 videos quite nicely because it goes to show that these people were working on it, but it's clearly being developed in advanced and in the same window that that plane disappeared where we're seeing three plasma orbs spinning around the plane clearly with this open magnetic field structure with no confinement on them. the galaxy galactic cosmic rays and solar particles that would come to Earth. That magnetic field when you run a compass, you see the magnetic field from the Earth. So, we know it's happening. It's all over. But how we generate it with electric currents is a little bit different. And what we do is that we have a loop of of wire. And the simplest way to think about it is literally a round loop. So, something I wanted to point out here, I'm going to skip ahead a couple minutes. Um, he talks about the the Earth, right? It's like the inspiration is look at the magnetic field lines of the Earth. Look at the magnetic field lines of the sun. In fact, we can see the magnetic reconnection occur when we see these plasma arcs shoot out from the sun. We know that we can magnetically confined plasma. How do we know it? We're looking at a ball of plasma every single day out there. Magnetically confined. There's no container around the sun. And it's in a spherical shape, which should tell us that the equilibrium for that system is a sphere. It's a sphere. And look, we see spheres everywhere. So, just to help people out, a tooidal shape, a tooidal plasma is a ring, a donut, a donut. And a poloidal poloidal magnetic field, not tooidal, but poloidal with a P is flip that flip that horizontally and and draw your magnetic field lines around it just like you would with the Earth. Just like you would with the Earth. A poloidal magnetic field produces a spherical shape. Okay, let me go ahead like one minute here and we're going to watch most of this. I think Oh, um yeah, there's like there's like a 10-minute rant that we're going to watch here. So, if you guys think I'm skipping ahead here, I'm mostly just skipping ahead because I I want to minimize how much we're watching in a in a long run here with electricity going around it. And you have a magnetic field inside of it. And then you have a test particle, a charged particle, an electron or an ion, which is if you imagine to generate this, I have a coil with electrons moving around it. But if I put one in the middle of it in this magnetic field, some really interesting things happen. That electron or that ion, that charged particle is what's called magnetized. And what magnetized means is that it's trapped on that field line. In fact, even really more interesting is that it oscillates around that field line. And so the way I think about this is if you think about the earth's magnetosphere again and you think about the charged particles the aurora the the northern lights is a charged particle trapped in the earth's magnetic field going around >> the earth's magnetic field and in the same way in fusion we do the same thing here on earth but in a smaller direction where we trap these particles on magnetic fields and they can go around and stay attracted to that magnetic field line trapped in the magnetic field guys that's the answer that's the answer the issues with plasma with fusion one issue is temperature we solve that high magnetic field. Higher magnetic field causes higher temperature, more fusion reactions to occur. Get the highest magnetic field strength that you can get. Number one issue. Number two issue, control confinement of the plasma. How do you make your plasma confined when it wants to shoot out in every direction, guys? How do you do that? Spin it around. Get it to move. Get it to vibrate. all the things that we've been learning about for the last two years. Get it to act in sync. Get it to line up. He says the magnetic field lines, the electrons will get trapped. They'll get trapped. The reason why the bubbles in MH370, the videos, the orbs we call them, I guess, the reason why why do they look so stable? The orbs look so stable. It almost just looks like a little snow globe moving around, but it's flying through the sky. Shouldn't it get get getting blown in every different direction? No, because the magnetic field lines are locking in the charged particles, locking it in there. In fact, it's almost identical to if we were to look if we were to look at the um the tokamac the tokamac reactor. There's a video of the tokamac reactor. You can see the plasma spinning around and it's very faint. You can see a little bit of plasma. You see a little bit of glow. We're looking at a much denser version of that. The more dense the plasma is, the thicker it's going to look. And that's the secret as well. It's three factors. Temperature, uh there's a constant Boltzman constant, and then there's also the amounts of particles. The more you get, the more dense they're going to be. So remember dense plasma focus. That was one of the papers that was um connected to this uh plasma fusion propulsion. >> Is this fundamentally now an engineering problem or is there a new physics to be discovered about how the system is behaving >> in in fusion? The physics we're using is actually quite old that the fundamental electromagnetic physics is 1800s physics. The fundamental atomic physics is early 1900s. And so the fundamental physics of how these work is very well understood. Putting them all together into a power plant, that's hard. And so you can do the math. You can do the math. Every introductory grad student does the math on a steller and say this is all I need to do. Um I just need to make a magnetic coil in this very complicated shape and then fusion will happen. Um however doing that in practice is actually quite quite challenging. >> So maybe you can speak a little bit more. So the the accelerator and the Tamac what's the difference between those two? They're both magnetic fusion systems. And then what does Helon do? The TOK and the accelerator are both magnetic systems. Their goal is to generate this magnetic field and hold on to the fusion fuel long enough. Like I mentioned these charged particles are trapped on the magnetic field. In fact they're oscillating. We call that a gyro orbit as the radius that they oscillate around. >> So that right there, you just saw the images that was the those fusion reactors. So what's the difference? Well, the fusion reactors that uh helion is doing are can produce much more dense plasma because their beta is a lot higher and their pla and their magnetic field strength is going to be higher. So they're going to be able to produce a much more dense plasma than those reactors are going going to. Now we can kind of understand why have we not had fusion for so long? because we've been going about it the wrong way. In fact, I'm off on basically every other form of fusion that's out there. If they're not doing a high beta concept, I have zero faith. And that actually includes Commonwealth Fusion. I don't know what's going on with Commonwealth Fusion. You guys can make your own judgments based on that, but I don't they're not they're working on like tokamac type styles. So, I don't see how they can achieve the level of efficiency that David Kirkley is talking about in this video. Too creative with the terminology. We call the technique that Helion uses magneto inertial fusion because it does a little bit of both. So, to understand that, we can actually go back in history a little bit and think about the evolution of some of these approaches to fusion. And so, from our perspective, we look at the technology that we use as built on physics experiments that were very successful in the 1950s. Um and in those systems the earliest pioneers of fusion said I know we understand the physics we have to take these gases heat them to 100 million degrees and then confine them push them together so that fusion happens and so what is the best way to do that so the some of the earliest programs we call them theta pinch and what those programs were were a linear topology because we know how to build these magnets it's called a solenoid where you take a series of electric coils you run electrical current through them that generates a magnetic field great so you have a magnetic field now you add your fusion particles okay so you've added fusion particles to this solenoid here's the challenge those particles as they're sitting in that magnetic in this nice magnet escape. They leave out the ends because there's nothing holding them in. Great. So that makes sense. Um and so that doesn't work. Okay. So then the So great. What do we just learn there? First of all, he goes, "People were working on this in the 50s." Wow. Yeah. I mean, the the podcast hasn't dropped yet, but the Jason Grojani podcast is about to drop. And you're gonna learn about uh what's his face? Ronald Richtor. Ronald Richtor. 1953, 1952. This stuff goes straight back to the 50s. And then like his research got classified. They said it didn't work. They're like, "No, don't worry about Ronald Richtor. Don't worry about his basically a neutronic fusion reactor that he's building. Forget about that." And then they started trying to do it. And then what we're going to find here is that the research I did my own research those uh slides or those uh websites I was showing you guys and this science kind of just got defunded in the 80s in the late 80s. So they were doing this science into magneto inertial fusion and it just kind of went by the wayside for some reason. And then David Kirkley shows up in the 2000s and and uh what's his face? um uh the guy that worked with Richard Escridge uh the other founder, but these guys show up and now they're picking it back up again. So, I was already convinced that this stuff went back to the fusion bomb and our research in the fusion bomb and now we're drawing even more parallels. And it's also connected to plasmoids and EVOs. You're about to hear David Kirkley talking about plasmoids and EVOs. The very same thing that Ken Shoulders was talking about. The very same the Marauder program, guys. The Marauder program in the '9s uh that went classified. They were shooting plasma tooids at each other. That's what Helium Fusion is doing. That's literally what their reactor does. I don't believe this. I'm just sitting here going, "Wait a minute." So, did it just go dark? Is that the secret that this whole area of research, all this magneto inertial fusion, it went dark because it was all being classified under the nuclear weapons secrets. And it went dark and it partially got defunded because nobody knew what it was or what it did. People are like, you know, you can't talk about it publicly. You can't be like, "Hey man, we made some weapons." And they're just manipulating spaceime. By the way, they're based on the Hbomb. People just look at you and they would just laugh. They would be like, "Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. You're doing Star Trek. Uh-huh. Are you going to put on your Star Trek clothes and go to the convention?" That's what they would say to you 100%. So, it gets defunded and then I don't know exactly how it picked up, but now I'm starting to see like this is what the deep state is. No offense to David Kirkley. I don't care if you're deep state, guys. They think I'm deep state now. Um, but this is what the deep state is, though. The deep state is a group of people that know about weapon secrets that even the public doesn't even really believe are real, and they're profiting off that knowledge. computer technology secrets, micro electronic engineering secrets, you would call it gravity manipulation secrets, fusion, plasma, top topological research, all of it. They're all profiting off of it and they know the other people that know. And then you have a club now. No individual is actually evil. They're just driven by their own incentive structures. Okay, I've ranted too much. Here we go. Next approach. just say, "Well, one one branch of fusion said, "Okay, well, to solve that, why don't we take this solenoid and bend it around? Let's just make it a big donut." So, as they're escaping, they go around and around in a circle. Great. That's a great approach. And so, one branch of fusion went down that direction. And and that became that evolved into the stellarator and the tokamac. Different ways of taking those solenoids and wrapping them around so that the plasmas go around and round in that magnetic field and are those charge particles are held long enough that fusion happens. But there's a different way to do it. And so, the theta pinch was what was born in the 1950s of take this magnetic field and oh, they're trying to escape. Great. Let's not let them escape. Let's close the bottle. Let's close the ends. And so we make the magnetic field much stronger at the ends. This one was called the mirror. >> I already knew what he was going to say here. If you guys watch my if you guys watch my content when he says this here, he goes, "Okay, the problem is the plasma is escaping. We try to do a theta pinch. The plasma is escaping out." Well, we already know the answer to that is let the plasma escape, bro. Use it as propulsion. Use that as your propulsion. Use the use the exhaust. And but we knew the answer. The answer is a mirror. Mirror configuration. Remember the mirror. And remember what else is good about the mirror. The mirror is also also used to produce a free electron relativistic laser. We produce mirrors have them vibrate and you can speed up. You can create a particle accelerator. You can make a laser or a x-ray laser essentially with it. So I think the byproduct of them producing these fusion reactors that are mobile fusion reactors is that they produce X-rays. They give off X-ray exhaust.
