FUSION REACTOR AT TRI ALPHA |
TIME MAGAZINE FUSION ARTICLE
FUSION is using the power of the SUN here on Earth to create electrical power.
NOVEMBER 2 2015 |
There is an excellent article inside and on the cover of the Time Magazine publication dated November 2, 2015 dealing with how various FUSION projects are going.
The major focus of the article concerns an Orange Country California company called Tri Alpha.
Most FUSION projects are using a combination of Hydrogen Isotopes named Deuterium and Tritium as fuel to use in their reactors.
The upside to using these as fuels is that they will fuse at low temperatures. Making things easier.
However, this produces radiation and you have to heat steam, that turns turbines to produce electricity.
With Tri Alpha's approach, they use Hydrogen and Boron as fuel.
This is called Aneutronic Fusion as little or no neutrons are produced in the reaction.
The neutrons carry radiation.
There are two advantages to this, there is very little radiation, and electricity is produced in the reaction itself, not needing to heat steam and turn turbines.
Some naysayers say that the 3 Billion degrees Centigrade needed to do this makes things too difficult.
Tri Alpha personnel point out that heavy ion colliders have produced temperatures of 3.8 Trillion degrees Centigrade.
There are a number of companies throughout the world doing FUSION projects.
If they can do this we are home free on the clean energy front.
