Proxima Fusion’s Post

In our second member Q&A session of 2024 on the 17th April, we discussed enabling technologies for fusion – what are they and what recent progress has been made. Our experts were Rajesh Maingi and Dr. Michael Ford from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), with a focus on magnetic confinement fusion. Rajesh and Michael spoke about how we are edging closer to realised fusion power, but that there are critical ‘game changing’ technologies which will enable fusion power plants.

Craving something sweet on #NationalDonutDay? 🍩 Well, we’re craving clean energy. Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have shown how the shape of ring-shaped tokamaks – whether squat like a doughnut or more spherical like a cored apple 🍎 – impacts how we can stabilize plasma and bring us closer to the commercialization of fusion energy.

Fusion energy is imperative to a cleaner planet. Some great notes and points on the topic.

Watch Dr Rajesh Maingi of Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) explain what is plasma confinement in relation to how fusion reactors might work. This clip comes from our April Insights Q&A event with Dr Mike Ford and Dr Rajesh Maingi where they discussed progress in fusion being dependent on the development of critical technologies. They told us what technologies are enabling fusion, the roles that key technologies play in the developing fusion industry and how is development is progressing.

One of the most fascinating physics phenomenas that I find interesting is Cherenkov Radiation. Cherenkov Radiation is a blue colored glow emitted by electrons and photons in the atom as a result of electrons and photons moving at a speed faster than light! Yes electrons and photons can move faster than light!!!. but hold on…not in a vacuum but in a specific medium such as water where light refractions can affect the speed of light. but there are other particles that don’t slow down as much and end up moving faster than light. Whenever that happens, a blue or violet glow occurs.
