A group of brilliant people are planning on powering the world for about 65,000,000 years. Their company is called general fusion. These people are trying to do what other scientists failed at for hundreds of years, the technology used to be known as lightning in a bottle.This technological wonder heats plasma, already at millions of degrees, to much higher temperatures. This technology’s source for fuel is limitless and causes almost no pollution. This company works on two different types of fusion, laser fusion, and tokamak fusion. tokamak fusion traps plasma in a magnetic and and tries to not let it escape. With laser fusion you put fuel in a little pellet and shoot lasers all around it, there is no magnetic field in laser fusion, but it compresses the pellet fast enough so that the heat doesn’t escape so it just gets hotter. General fusion is planning on doing both methods. This way the magnetic field keeps the heat inside, so they don’t have to compress the pellet very fast so the heat doesn’t escape, if they don’t do both they have to squash the pellet in one billionths of a second, but since they’re doing it with both methods they only have to squash it in one thousandths of a second.
General fusion is has a special structure that they are using for the experiment. There is a vortex sphere that has 2 plasma injectors on either side of it. The plasma injectors spin up liquid metal, and then inject plasma into the vortex. The vortex will be surrounded by thousands of pistons, making a compression wave which will squash the plasma. The Plasma then gets denser and hotter, until it is to enough to do fusion. The fusion energy emits neutrons, so they fly out and be absorbed by the metal, and that will emit heat so the metal will be hotter, and generate steam. The steam will run a turbine and make electricity, and some of the steam will come and run the pistons. That is how the machine will generate energy from just liquid metal, pistons and a lot of machinery.
