FUSION REACTION ENGINE…WHERE MIGHT WE HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE?

Here is an interesting development that quite a few of you shared with me: NASA's development of a pinched plasma fusion engine: Engine in development could cut Mars travel time to three months The reasoning behind the development is indicated by the title of the article itself: such an engine would cut travel time to our nearest most interesting celestial neighbor, Mars, by better than a half, thus also tremendously reducing the engineering problems of sustaining a human crew for a journey that could take 16-18 months using currently available technologies. But I want to draw your … [Read more...]

EUROPE TAKES MORE STEPS TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Europe is getting serious - or is it? - about moves away from energy dependence on Middle Eastern and Russian petroleum and natural gas for its energy supplies: Europe launches trillion-euro energy revamp Note the move toward an increased role for nuclear energy, being championed by France, Europe's largest nuclear power (by far), most of whose electricity is produced by nuclear power.

DOES THIS RING THE BELL?

A reader of my books and visitor to this site recently shared an article with me. It seems General Fusion has come up with a novel idea to achieve controlled fusion reactions without the need for multi-million dollar Tokamaks and all the other financial gigantism that characterizes government-funded and big corporation-backed fusion research. In an article on their website, General Fusion says it will "build a ~3 meter diameter spherical tank filled with liquid metal (lead-lithium mixture)." If this is beginning to sound a bit like the Nazi Bell device, hang on, it gets better, for this … [Read more...]
