pulsotron (Page 3)

After a delay of 11 days, we could mount it in 3 days and make to work the Pulsotron-4 fusion experiment (it is not a Fusion Reactor as long as not reactions are done yet). We performed it first discharge at 100% power.Read More →

In the last tests, it was measured the charging current in the capacitor knowing the capacitance and the voltage change measured at capacitor terminals. The current is extracted from plasma affected by the ejected particles produced during fusion The recovered energy beats new record. 1.2MA flowing towards the energy recovery capacitors was measured. The pulse is short, 23 microseconds only, then the capacitor is discharged at 200 kiloamps Also, we have to inform that Pulsotron-4 entering in service is delayed as several components must be replaced, so tests are performed using the damaged Pulsotron-3 reactor. It is expected that the reactor can definitely break downRead More →

At test S3070 we used the ERC-08 Electric Recovery Coils and 88.13% of the net energy injected in the target was recovered. But the main scientist suffered an electric shock from the recovery capacitors,  then to increase the energy recovered, new security systems must be installed. At the test S3071 the coils were separated from target to reduce damage from reaction but the energy recovered decreased to half, that is still much higher than the last test campaign We are happy because recovery 200% allows us to begin to sell commercial reactors. In next tests, the recovered energy was 26.89% (test S3072), 22.5% (T3073) andRead More →

In test 3068 we improved the connections between the capacitors to reduce its inductance, but as result the energy recovered falls to 14.29% and the magnetic field was 190 kiloteslas Then we increased the capacitor bank a 50% to increase the energy recovered and as result in the test S3069 it was recovered 16.7% that is better but far from our record value 22.6%Read More →

We publicized the paper AC Magnetic sensor to measure mega-amps current and kilo-tesla magnetic fields up to gigahertz frequencies With the help of the described sensors we made time compression of the generated magnetic field during dozen nanoseconds but the field is unstable and difficult to manage.Read More →

A new world record in energy recovery from a Fusion reactor at test S3068, was established in 22.6% without nuclear fuel, and it is expected to recover 10.6 times more loading targets with thermonuclear fuel, and there are still several technologies to improve that numbers, so there is a lot of room to obtain more energy recovery than injected. This is a good notice for a damaged Pulsotron-3 that works at 88.9% of nominal voltage. Fortunately there are good news because we are waiting parts of the new Pulsotron-4 that is 6 times more powerful and have another improvements over Pulsotron-3. It is estimated that theRead More →

It was made tests 3059 to 3063. In test 3059 it was tested new coils coiled around glass pipes, as expected they broke, as it happened before, but unfortunately, the obtained energy was very low, and also it was broke the support structure MAG-8, then the glass pipe coils are withdrawn. The laboratory got covered with glass pieces that had to be cleaned, but the MAG-8 was replaced by a copy and tests continued to increase the recovered energy a 50% more using the same coils than test 3054, but failed to obtain more energy. It was investigated at post-processing the data and it wasRead More →

In test S3055 it was installed the repaired MAG-4 sensor and the new energy recovery coil REC-8. As a result, the energy recovered was 419% higher than in test S3049, but lower than in the last test, so some modifications from coils REC-4 to REC-8 must be reverted. It was totally destroyed the MAG-4 sensor and could not be repaired again, so in the following tests magnetic field was not measured. in test S3056 the coil was mounted around a pyrex glass. As a result, it was recovered 42% less energy. The recovery REC-6 was totally destroyed, also the pyrex glass coil was totally destroyedRead More →

In order to check the setup for the next Pulsotron-4 fusion reactor, it was arranged the Pulsotron-4 switch launcher and electrodes at Pulsotron-3.  Also, it was installed the new Energy Recovery coil REC-4 and the new MAG-4 magnetic sensor with a wideband of 4.5 Gigahertz, but a 200MHz scope was used while the new 4GHz scope arrives. As a result, the energy recovery was increased a 497% over previous S3049 test. It was destroyed the launcher finger and the magnetic sensor in three parts. The magnetic sensor could be repaired but not the launcher finger so tests stopped  Read More →

  An unprecedented magnetic field was measured in both loaded tests: At test 3052 it was measured 5.73 Megateslas and 41.74 Joules was recovered At test 3053 it was measured 5.77 Megateslas and 50.07 Joules was recovered   In previous tests with the same setup using unloaded tests it was measured: At test 3048 it was measured 98.2 Kiloteslas and 41.77 Joules was recovered At test 3049 it was measured 81.0 Kiloteslas and 42.20 Joules was recovered   In the second loaded test it was detected an increase of the energy recovery of 18% with respect unloaded ones   Actually we know where the newRead More →
