While the rest of the world is building fusion reactors the size of stadiums, like the massive $22 billion IT ER project in France, Zap Energy is building one you could fit in your garage. They're using a technology called the Zpinch. It's a method of nuclear fusion that compresses hot plasma using a self-generated magnetic force. This technique lets you strip away all the complexity. You get rid of the superconducting coils that need to be cooled to near absolute zero. You get rid of the natural beam injectors that TAE uses for its field reverse configuration machine. They rely on a simple brutal pulse of electricity. They run a current 10 times stronger than a bolt of lightning through a column of hydrogen gas. This current generates a magnetic field that crushes the gas into a tiny super hot filament where fusion happens. But here's the catch, and it's a big one. According to physics history, this machine shouldn't work. For 70 years, scientists have known that chat, those are my favorite kinds. My favorite kinds are the ones that shouldn't work. Oh, and we have reviewed zpinch before. We have reviewed it, and it is almost certainly a factor in the MH370 orbs. Only question I have is how much of a factor. My guess is they're using a combination of inertial electrostatic and inertial confinement fusion per Loheed Martin's compact fusion reactor. >> They're trying to squeeze plasma like this is trying to compress water with your hands. The plasma should tear itself apart in millionth of a second. And for decades, that's exactly what it did. the zap energies found. >> So what he just said right there too is he's saying that the reason why is conventional physics said that you shouldn't be able to make your plasma this dense. Remember dense plasma focus. The whole secret to the fusion was getting your plasma dense enough. Once your plasma is dense enough, you've reached your conditions needed for fusion. Classic physics said, "Nope, this isn't going to be able to work." Huh. >> A way to control it. The solution is called sheer flow stabilization and it's the single reason we are talking about this company today. Zap's founder spent 20 years at the University of Washington perfecting this. What was the big thing you just said there? Sheer flow stabilization. Sheer flow stabilization. Sheer flow stabilization has to do with the plasma flow and it wanting to kind of deviate around. This seems very similar to what you would learn from a plasma sheath. Remember, how did they figure out plasma orbs? They figured it out because they used to use a plasma sheath in front of their hypersonic vehicles, our spy planes, and then you just realize, I can just turn that into a drone. >> To stop treating the plasma as one solid block. Instead, they manipulate the flow so that the plasma moves in layers, kind of like a highway. Imagine being in the center lane of a freeway at 50 mph. The lane to your left is moving at 80 mph and the lane to your right is moving at 100 mph. Can you change lanes? No. The difference is speed. The shear locks you in place. You are effectively trapped in that center lane. Zap applies this logic to the plasma. They create flow profile where the outer layer of the plasma are moving faster than the inner layers. When the central plasma tries to bulge or kink, which is a specific instability that killed the zpinch in the 1950s, the fastmoving outer layer shears it back into alignment. This smooths out the instability purely through fluid dynamics. No external magnets required. This allows them to keep the plasma stable thousands of times longer than previous attempts long enough to fuse by solving stabilization. Wow. The two reasons why I thought this was big. One, George Miley talks about this. He talks about this in the context of lasers and trying to get the lasers. He says part of the problem with trying to get your lasers to combine is that if they're moving at different speeds, it's like trying to hitch a ride. You can't do it. That actually analogy is exactly the same as what was just described there is that if you have these columns on the outside of plasma and a different column on the middle, the middle column can't hit a ride on those other columns. And apparently George Miley said he found a way around this. He solved this somehow. Didn't explain how. at least doing it with lasers. I always think back to it with the MH370 orbs. I keep questioning myself on does that have to be fusion in those orbs? Can it just be like a hypersonic propulsion? I think it does have to be fusion. The fact there's a persistent bubble of plasma around it and that the beams we see coming out of it are black and not hot, there's no way around it. It's got to be fusion. And what that means is when it comes to fusion stability, they haven't just gotten a thousand times better. They've gotten infinitely better. Like they've perfected it. This is what's this is why I struggle so much. When you watch the MH370 videos, you can see the orbs spinning around. Not just them spinning around the plane, but the orb itself spinning. And that's clearly being used as a stabilization method for their little plasma engine orb flying around to keep it stable. The spin itself of the orb helps keep it stable. >> It's a simple equation. Density time temperature times time. To get fusion reactions that produce energy, you need to get the product of these three numbers high enough. Every fusion approach compromises one of these variables. One is magnetic confinement tokamax. These machines like it are like slow cookers. They reach moderate temperatures for a very long time, seconds or minutes, but the plasma density is very low. Two, there's inertial confinement using laser. >> So he confirms something that we've talked about is that the tokamax the plasma density is too low. This is why I think you need a beta near one. I think the beta near one is one of the ways that you can achieve the high plasma density. >> These machines like the NIF are like explosions. They reach incredibly high densities and temperatures but for a tiny fraction of a second. Zap. And interestingly there, I think he just explained the zap in the MH370 video. He says in inertial confinement fusion, we use lasers to target a spot and you get this huge burst of energy just for a brief second. So they're all looking at that equation from a different perspective. Time, energy, or is it pressure, time, energy, density, whatever it was. So they're saying here the MH370 videos are a quick huge release of energy. So much energy that has warped spaceime. Basically if you were to ask Grock, it would say that yeah, a fusion bomb might be able to manipulate spacetime, but it's several orders of magnitude energy too low. Well, not a problem. And then you have Zpinch. >> Energy. Zpinch sits in the Goldilock zone. They reach moderate temperatures and densities for moderate amounts of time. grill where the energy coming out of the fusion reaction equals the energy put into the plasma. They're just a 30% power boost away from a milestone that eluded scientists for decades. And unlike the National ignition facility which claimed net energy but ignored the massive inefficiency of their lasers, Zap's efficiency calculations are direct electricity in versus electricity out. >> So this is the part where I wonder it must be using one of our animatronic fusion fuels to be able to pull that off. And later on in this video, he mentions that they do use lithium as the uh shield because it also produces tridium. They push that current to roughly 2 million amps tall. It looks a bit like a vortex cannon. You inject the fuel mixture detium and treatium gas at the top. Then you hit it with a massive pulse of electricity. This effectively turns the gas into a plasma and accelerates it down the column. The central rod in the machine ends in a nose cone. So the plasma shoots out the end into the empty part of the vacuum chamber forming a long thin column. This is where the Z pinch happens. It unfolds in a specific sequence of phases. Phase one, an electric field is applied along the gas column. Phase two, this causes electrons and positive ions to flow in opposite directions. Phase three, this flow of current generates concentric circular magnetic lines that wrap around the plasma column. Phase four, these magnetic field lines interact with the moving charged particles. This creates a Loren force. Using the right-h hand rule, we can see that this force points directly inward toward the center of the cylinder. Phase, >> you shoot a column of plasma. The plasma produces its own electromagnetic fields and based on the lorren forces produced, it's going to squeeze inward. And when it squeezes inward, you're going to have fusion. To me, it's so simple how you could imagine how a hypersonic engine could incorporate this. All you have to do is take this exact thing you're looking at here, turn it on its side. Turn it on its side. Now imagine instead of injecting the hydrogen, whatever they say up here at the top, that the air is just coming in one way and then you're using that air, you're mixing it with a little bit of lithium or uh whatever helium 3, whatever our neutral a neutron fusion fuels are. And then this is what's happening in the middle. All you're doing is putting a charge through it. And the only other thing that you would add to it, add some magnets in here. Add some superconducting magnets right around the core. and turn this core area into a magnetic mirror. And then you just use your magnetic nozzles and inject out your X-rays, whatever direction you want to inject them out. Pretty cool. >> Five, every particle in that column feels a crushing force from all sides. Phase six, the plasma collapses. This magnetic vice grip compresses the plasma into a filament that is only it's the shield. It absorbs. Your chamber is lined with the sun inside a metal can. How do you stop the walls from melting? and how you harvest that energy. Zap uses a liquid metal wall. The reactor chamber is lined with a flowing river of molten lead and lithium. This is the brilliant engineer's choice for four distinct reasons. One, it's the electrode. The liquid metal acts as the outer electrode to complete the electrical circuit. Two, it's the shield. It absorbs high energy neutrons and radiation so they don't leak out and irradiate the facility. Three, it's the coolant. It acts like a heat sink. It carries the intense heat away from the core to a heat exchanger where it can generate steam and electricity. Four. >> Yeah. Oh, one more. >> It's the fuel factory. This is >> Okay. Yeah. All those reasons. So, hopefully I can memorize what he just said right there. The MH370 orbs are exactly it. They are a fusion reactor. Every single thing he mentioned right there is solved in the MH370 orbs. The orbs themselves are containing the fuel. They're pulling parts of the fuel from the air, but they have lithium that they can mix in with it when it gets pulled in. The plasma itself completes the circuit. In the in the design that he described, they're using liquid lithium surrounding the fusion core. But in the MH370 situation, we have the plasma around it. And the plasma when dense enough will complete the circuit. It will create a circuit in and of itself without the need for a physical metal wall. This is also how we can dissipate heat. He says we can use this to dissipate heat. It can be the cooling requirement. Well, in this case, we don't have to worry about that because the heat's going to be dissipated to the surrounding environment. some amount of the energy will release will escape from our plasma bubble to the environment and we can control that release of energy. So these are all things that the MH370 video orbs have solved and we see something addition in the orbs which is we see a nonequilibrium temperature. We see a heat signature that's yellow or green surrounded by a very room temperature plasma low temperature plasma field. This would indicate that there's some processing that's happening that as S said it's been pulled from far from equilibrium. Something has been pulled out of of balance. The coolest part detium is abundant in the ocean, but tridium is radioactive and scarce. When the fusion neutrons hit the lithium in the liquid wall, the interaction breathes tridium. Zap can extract that tridium and pump it right back into the machine as fuel. And because it's liquid, it's self-healing. A solid wall would get brittle and crack under neutron bombardment. But the liquid simply flows. They even optimize. >> And there you go. The the orbs almost certainly have to be using lithium because you would mix a little lithium in there. It's going to breed tridium, which is heavy hydrogen, extremely rare. And now you've got your fusion products to continue your reaction. And you don't care about radiation leaking out. your bubble is containing all of this stuff. So there you don't have to worry about damage to the outer core of the reactor, the wall of the reactor because there's no wall. All you have to worry about is your actual device on the inside, the plasma not actually touching it. So you can actually see from watching this video from 2025, how engineers in the black project, they must have solved all these problems to build those MH370 orbs that we see zapping a plane in 2014. the chemistry. By using a utctic mix, roughly 16 lithium atoms for every lead atom, they lower the melting point of the lead from 327.5° CC down to 235°. This means they waste less energy just keeping the metal molten. To really appreciate how revolutionary this is, we have to look back at why this revival is so historic. The Zpinch isn't new. It's actually ancient. The phenomena was first observed way back in 1905 when a lightning bolt struck a hollow lightning rod in Australia and crushed it flat. In the 1950s, the Zpinch was actually the very first approach scientists tried to control fusion. >> This was as old as Tesla. They knew and this is the the primary method for how they were going to try to do fusion in the 1950s, which was honestly how far this goes back. That's how far back the hidden fusion goes. So this could this is like the perfect criteria for your hidden physics that has been suppressed that works that now suddenly people are going back to. At the end of the day my true opinion is it's the true answer is going to be a mix of using inertial electrostatic fusion which is essentially what this is and inertial confinement. You don't don't throw out magnets just cuz you found another way. No use both dream simple compact fusion. But that kinking issue was just catastrophic. The plasma would pull off and die in nanconds. After 7 years of failure, the scientific community gave up. They pivoted to using massive external magnets to force the plasma to behave. Thus, the tokamac was born. >> Now, this is another crazy part. So, he says they gave up on it in the 50s and they moved to tok. We know the story of the tokamac. We know the story of it. Remember Bousard worked on it. He was he wasn't it was either Busousard. Wasn't it Bousard? Yeah. Was it a Bousard that helped come up with the idea of the tokamac and he was the one that said that it was the big worst idea ever? >> They're redeeming a 70-year-old failure with modern fluid dynamics. >> What's the catch? All of these things. And even I've learned even when I was trying to do the magnetic motor thing, you realize what's the catch to all this? What's the hold back? There always going to be a hold up because otherwise somebody would have done it. even in the case of a free energy device. And so here you go. What's the what's the catch to this particular process? >> It's the switching. To make this a viable power plant, you can't just fire it once. They need to fire it repetitively. To match a small nuclear power plant, they need to fire roughly 10 times every second at 10 herz. This means switching 650,000 plus amps on and off 10 times a second continuously for years. The power electronics required to handle that kind of load without melting are incredibly complex. Currently, the fuse machine operates at a relatively mild 10 to 20 kilts. To get the currents that they need, they'd have to ramp it up to around 30 kilovolts. These high voltages put a massive strain on the switching devices. How? So, very interesting. The hold up is the switching because we're using pulseed power. So, let me visualize this for my normies out there who I still kind of am one. The issue here is we need a huge amount of voltage. We got to power this thing on and then we got to take the energy back out. And we have to do this 10 times a second. Probably even more than that, but let's just go with 10 times a second for simplicity. So, we basically got to flip the switch on and off 10 times a second. And we need to have that energy discharge through our capacitors and recharge. 30,000 volts. 30 kilovolts, I think, is what he said. We need this huge amount of energy that we have to be storing. And so this means that now we have a new challenge. Not only do we have to build a fusion reactor, but we also have to build a battery system that can manage this. It's not going to burn out. This thing's got to last 10 times per second for decades, years. Doesn't this make If you guys didn't watch, go back and watch our Helen Fusion review. It was probably about two or three months ago where we watch one of their clips where they actually go through this exact issue. They talk through they have to build out a whole process for how they're going to manage the batteries. They're going to say this one's charging up while this one's discharging as a whole extremely complex. Now, what you learn is there's a big difference between building a fusion reactor and building a power plant that's on the grid. This is how we can have magical orbs that are fusion plasma propulsion orbs that in theory are producing over unity enough energy to teleport airplanes. At the same time, we don't have a public commercial fusion reactor cuz there are different challenges associated with it even on top of the national security challenges. So, I wanted you to see that so that you could visualize how you would incorporate not just the fusion zpinch concept and if you're interested, check out Zap Energy who he mentions there. Now you can see how they could take a concept like a tube concept with those hypersonic scramjets and incorporate fusion into it. The only thing you would have to do is come up with an injection system or a system to separate the air by turning into a plasma and pulling the hydrogen out of it to use that in your engine, to use that in your fusion reactor. My guess is they found a relatively simple way to do that. How about the the lithium payload? And in fact, it might be something that's fractal. It might be that what they're doing inside of the plasma fusion orb itself is a smaller version of what they're doing to the plane at the bigger scale. Like taking your Lincoln logs and making your log c your log house just a little bit bigger. You're like, "Hey, let's do the same thing we're doing inside the fusion orb, but let's do it on a bigger scale now." And now, instead of a small amount of lithium being slowly injected into our fusion orb, instead of that, let's just have a f a lithium payload inside of the plane. And then our our are basically charged up balls of dutium with tridium inside of them. tridium and lithium. Now we have all of our reaction constant. We don't even need the the tridium because we're going to breed the tridium.
