clean fusion power australia presentation
DESCRIPTION
Oliver Snow Presents the story of Clean Fusion Power with Aneutronic FusionTRANSCRIPT
Clean Fusion Power
Crowd Funding the Energy Revolution Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Inc.
>1,000 new coal-fired power plants planned
So What?
What IF...If we keep going down this track?
Runaway Global Warming
• Increased Air Pollution
• Heat Stress
• Increases in Sea Levels
• Ocean Acidification
• Mega Storms
• Droughts....
But...
What IF...we change our thinking?
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!
Aneutronic Fusion
p + B11 -> 3He + Energy
and nothing else
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics & the Dense Plasma Focus
Aneutronic (NO radiation)
Compact (shipping container)
Cheapest Energy Source by far!
Limitless fuel from SEAWATER!
US Patent #7,482,607 (2009)
Method and apparatus for producing x-rays, ion beams and nuclear fusion energy
Goal product: 5 MW Focus Fusion generator
Lower projected cost than any other energy tech
$60/kW, .2 cents/kW-hr

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?
