Modeling feedback control of unstable separatrix location in beam-driven field-reversed configurations
March 2017 | Niko Rath | AIP Publishing | Paper
We present a linear, one-parameter model for rigid displacement of a toroidally symmetric plasma.
Enhanced fusion reactivity in the beam-driven field reversed configuration
March 2017 | R. Magee | TAE Technologies | Paper
A dramatic enhancement of the deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction rate – 100x beyond thermonuclear – is observed from a field reversed configuration plasma during high power hydrogen beam injection.
Entrepreneurial spirit and fusion research
January 2017 | GOTA Hiroshi | The Journal of the Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research | Paper
TAE Technologies is one of the companies that conduct fusion research in the entrepreneurial approach. It is often asked why and how such research in the large scale and long range may be carried out based on private funds. English version included.
