Canada-based General Fusion announced a new Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) machine that will fast-track the company’s technical progress. It also included new grant funding from the Government of British Columbia, which builds upon the Canadian government’s ongoing support through the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF).

The system is a fusion of a GPS (or GNSS, Global Navigation Satellite System) and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrating three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, based on a context-aided Unscented Kalman filter for navigation in urban conditions. The result of attitude estimation is fed back into the sensor refinement process.

Had the company gone through with its intention to sell mercury propellant thrusters to some of the companies building massive satellite constellations over the coming decade, it would have resulted in Earth’s upper atmosphere being laced with mercury. Bender is referring to the 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury , a U.N.

One promising way to meet modern industrial challenges is by using additive manufacturing (AM) processes, such as powder bed fusion and other emerging techniques. Developed in concert with numerous manufacturers, the DRAMA initiative includes the new powder bed fusion AM facility mentioned previously.

It refers to materials that superconduct above −195.79 °C, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. Those high magnetic fields may one day enable nuclear fusion energy, which I wrote about recently [see “ This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape ”]. High temperature” isn’t room temperature.
