Get Ready for the Stellarator Showdown

Cars That Think

For decades, nuclear fusion the reaction that powers the sunhas been the ultimate energy dream. Fusion requires temperatures hotter than the suns core and a mastery of plasmathe superheated gas in which atoms that have been stripped of their electrons collide, their nuclei fusing. But the challenge is huge.

Airbus is Working on a Superconducting Electric Aircraft

Cars That Think

One of the greatest climate -related engineering challenges right now is the design and construction of a large, zero-emission, passenger airliner. The highlight, from a tech perspective, is a superconducting, fuel-cell powered airliner. And in this massive undertaking, no airplane maker is as invested as Airbus.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

The PPPL team invented this nuclear-fusion reactor, completed last year, using mainly off-the-shelf components. Jayme Thornton PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants.

PPPL researchers find way to build high-temperature superconducting magnets for fusion devices

Green Car Congress

Such powerful magnets would more easily fit within the tight space inside spherical tokamaks, which are shaped more like a cored apple than the doughnut-like shape of conventional tokamaks, and are being explored as a possible design for future fusion power plants. —Yuhu Zhai, a principal engineer at PPPL and lead author.
