France tops China’s tokamak record with 22-minute plasma containment run.

France’s Commissariat à L'énergie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives on Tuesday claimed it’s topped China’s recently-established for record maintaining fusion plasma in a tokamak, and therefore taken another step towards building a fusion reactor capable of producing cheap energy.

I’ve been following the breakthroughs at Tokamak for a long time, and they’re inching closer to success every year. They’ve demonstrated a scaled down concept of something they have faith in, and if the government invests more money into the company I definitely won’t complain. Fusion’s the ultimate goal, and maybe Musk’s $44bn would have been better spent on nuclear investment than Twitter.

Figure 8: Two-year overview (2021-2022) – top technology areas by patentee – US only However, magnet advancements were not a dominant driver of the increased innovation in 2021 and 2022. Instead, we have seen an increase in the core area of plasma generation (including particle beam techniques) and also in electrical discharge technologies, indicating many fusion companies still trialling less explored approaches to nuclear fusion. Notably, the data for the US only shows the same pattern.

Not shure about that #NuclearFusion theory tho...

I'd assume by 2100 we'll basically mandate buildings to be "energy positive" except historic buildings just out of need to have everyone supply into the #grid...

  • We'll likely have more fluctuating #EnergyPrices so people will prefer to cook and do laundry at peak energy output in the lunchtime...

I'd rather see #DESERTEC done than #Fusion #PowerPlants simply because of #cost and #scalability reasons: A #solarthermal #PowerPlant is way easier to build and maintain than #NuclearEnergy will ever be because both are #thermal and controlling #reactors is more complex than making just water/oil/salt "go phlooosh" through black pipes heated by sunlight off parabolic mirrors...

  • Potentially we'll see multiple giant setups in deserts around the globe if not #offshore in #tropical areas...
