The Most Powerful Superconducting Magnets in The World Will Help to Get Clean Energy

in #science7 years ago

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology received funding of $ 30 million to create an experimental thermonuclear power plant. Yet till today's day controlled thermonuclear fusion is still the most promising source of pure energy available to mankind.

Unlike nuclear fission, on which modern energy technologies are based, nuclear synthesis generates energy by synthesizing hydrogen atoms in helium. The same process takes place inside the stars, including the Sun.

One of the most promising projects for thermonuclear fusion is the "tokamak", a camera that uses powerful magnets to create a magnetic field around a red-hot plasma produced by nuclear fusion. MIT hopes to build a compact tokamak called SPARC, capable of generating 100 megawatts of heat, and then a full-scale thermonuclear reactor with a capacity of 200 MW.

The key to creating this compact tokamak will be the development of the most powerful superconducting magnets in the world. They will be based on the newest material, which is a steel tape covered with a superconducting compound of yttrium-barium-copper oxide (YBCO).

Such magnets will generate four times the stronger magnetic field and ten times the output power than any of the existing analogs. YBCO tape can also reduce the cost, time and complexity of building thermonuclear devices, and also simplify their production.
