So What?

What IF...If we keep going down this track?

Page 5: Clean fusion power Australia Presentation

Runaway Global Warming

• Increased Air Pollution

• Heat Stress

• Increases in Sea Levels

• Ocean Acidification

• Mega Storms

• Droughts....

Page 6: Clean fusion power Australia Presentation

But...

What IF...we change our thinking?

Page 7: Clean fusion power Australia Presentation

13th Feb 2014

„…$5 billion National Ignition Facility, where scientists recently got a tiny bit closer to their goal of creating a controlled fusion reaction…”

Conventional Fusion

D + T -> He + Heat + n

We can do better!

Page 9: Clean fusion power Australia Presentation

Aneutronic Fusion

p + B11 -> 3He + Energy

and nothing else

Some other approaches

For comparison –

• Buzzard Fusion „Wiffleball“ (US Navy, secret)

• Tri Alpha Energy (big backers, secretive)

• Lockheed Martin „Skunkworks“ (secretive)

• General Fusion (backed by Canadian Govt)

• Other?
