The essence of the patent relates to the creation of fields to confine the plasma.

Not sure there is anything really exploitable in the description.

The end of the patent is a shame, it is filling and reusing what already exists everywhere in electronics and computers. (all that relates to the last figure = figure 9). It makes me doubt the above in the patent.

I'm sure they won't have a fusion reactor in 2024.

Basically it's ITER except they would use magnetic mirrors instead of a torus. Instead of using the grid to create the magnetic field, the electricity would be produced by MHD : Oops: Well yes, MW for magnets must be produced on board the plane : Mrgreen:
I have never seen an MHD generator produce electricity industrially (or am I wrong?).
And they have room temperature superconductors ??? Otherwise it takes a hell of a factory to keep the cold.

It is clearly a pipo patent just filed to justify research funding.

I leave it to specialists to analyze these statements:



A 13 year old child carries out a nuclear fusion in his house!

It made its debut in the 2021 edition of Guinness World Records: Jackson Oswalt, a young American barely 13 years old, was the youngest person in the world to have carried out a nuclear fusion. The boy has indeed managed to merge two atoms of deuterium in a reactor that he himself had built in the playroom of his house in Memphis.


This feat, achieved in February 2018, was of course verified, by the Open Source Fusor Research Consortium first of all, then was confirmed by Richard Hull, a nuclear physics enthusiast, who himself has already carried out several mergers. nuclear power at home, and who maintains a list of amateur scientists who share this unusual hobby.

Interestingly, after the United States, the United Kingdom is another serious parallel competitor to the Iter project.
