The new chamber ERC-27 was tested using nuclear fuel and also magnetic mirrors. In test 4037 performed last week the chamber was damaged but could be repaired. Then it was repaired and made a second test, then the ERC-27 survived but not the launcher that is used to close the switch that was blown. The generated energy was 25% lower but it could be measured the magnetic field that blown the last record that is now over 10.5 Megateslas, but it can not be measured accurately because that it was 282% higher than the maximum level of the sensor and also higher than the scopeRead More →

It was tested in the ERC-21 chamber. It recovered 11 times more energy than test 4032 (test 4033 destroyed the ERC-22 so it was not measured). The test was repeated in test 4035 with a small improvement in the grounding, so it was improved the energy recovery by another 24% but the chamber suffered a small crack that must be repaired. In test 4036, it was tested using thermonuclear fuel and magnetic mirrors using the chamber ERC-24, as a result, the pressure was about 20 times higher and the ERC-24 was blown away. It is very clear that thermonuclear fuel and magnetic mirrors generate aRead More →

The engineers of Advanced Ignition SL were frustrated after the last tests, which only burned 5% of the injected fuel, and the energy generated was only 50% of the injected fuel. The engineers introduced a new electro-optical resonance device system in the reactor that rejigged the entire process. The discovery allows them to increase the magnetic field 20-times and plays a pivotal role in nuclear fusion. In a press release, Advanced Ignition SL said Pulsotron-3 led to a positive result. Pulsotron-3 demonstrated that the only way to overcome the 5-megateslas of the magnetic field is, to use the nuclear fusions and create another magnetic field.Read More →

It was tested the samples S4022-24 using ERC19 and samples S4025 and 26 using ERC16. The test S4022 went wrong due to the scope setup used in the previous ones and the data was lost, so the test was repeated at test S4023 but the copper part of the ERC (electric recovery coil) that recovers planar electric waves made a short circuit and produced a blast during the charging of the main capacitor bank that had to be aborted, then it was repaired using a piece of paperboard and made the test but only 3.6% of the energy was recovered. It was repeated (test S4024)Read More →

There was less energy recovery using Pulsotron-4 than using Pulsotron-3, so several tests were performed to fix that using configuration-2, so we improved in one test from 14.5% to 70%. That solution will be added to several others to help to generate more energy than used. In the graph can be seen the old coil in blue and the new one that is grey. The other two plotlines correspond to other sensors: We added some captures made during the tests: Fortunately, only a launcher was broken during tests that were replaced immediatelyRead More →

It was made new tests using Configuration-2 but a low magnetic field was measured. It was processed videos and data generated in the last test campaign revealing an intriguing capture that seems to be a soul in pain. Unfortunately, the flames revealed that plastics used in sealing burns due to tests, so it must be replaced by more harder isolation material  Read More →

During the last test campaigns performed from 25 October 2020 until 7 of November, 9 tests were performed, and as a result, 1.6-2.57 megateslas was reached, or perhaps higher, but unfortunately our star oscilloscope of 4 gigahertz is out for calibration, but in the last test only 287 kiloteslas was obtained. Then the magnetic sensor was removed so then an inspection revealed new damaged parts, then Pulsotron has dismantled again for inspection to see some plasma leakages discovered using the new high-speed cameras. and as a result, several parts must be changed. As a result of the autopsy of the magnetic sensor, the high strengthRead More →

After the first three tests, several parts of the fusion reactor were broken, so the parts are replaced and a general refurbishment was made, including new ERC, new magnetic sensor-5, and large shield to stop alpha particles and X rays to allow to make tests using thermonuclear fuel. The new Pulsotron-4C2 is active and full operative now. Here is an image of its first test with new parts:Read More →

At this test campaign, it was tested the new magnetic sensor MAG5 that is designed to measure magnetic fields up to 4 gigahertz and withstand ten times larger magnetic fields than the old MAG4 sensor. As a result in the test 4002 the magnetic field was so large that saturated oscilloscope channels corresponding for the two more close sensors, giving 3.92 Megateslas at the third At test 4003 it was measured 2.67Megateslas, but the magnetic sensor was broken. Also, several isolation parts of the Pulsotron was broken and must be replaced. As a conclusion, the performance of Pulsotron-4 generates 5.3 times larger magnetic fields than Pulsotron-3Read More →
