It was made tests S3050 and S3051 that do not uses capacitors to load recovered energy Also, it was loaded samples S3052 and S3053. It was installed the well known 7 pipes electric recovery coils to try ignition. It was calculated that 10 times more magnetic field would be needed but we tried ignition in two tests, using the alpha particles shield to protect the laboratory and using also “un par de cojones” Results will be verifiedRead More →

To charge the targets with thermonuclear fuel, an argon gas chamber was used with the help of a binocular loupe. The targets will be tested in the Pulsotron-3 fusion reactor, where the 50 mega-amp barrier is expected to be overcome in a month.Loading Targets with Fusion Fuel Also, it was made the tests S3048 and S3049. in both tests one of the coils was damaged and repaired. The electric energy recovered was higher than before but less than using larger coilsRead More →

It was tested again the 7 coils energy recovery system, where the short coils were modified in order to increase energy recovery as long as the large ones can’t fit inside the alpha particles shield. In the S3045 the recovered energy was almost the same as the large coils, but we lost data from oscilloscope connected to the coils in the S3046 test, so the test must be repeated. In test S3046, it was measured 62 kiloteslas, but 25.3 kiloteslas remained during 6 microseconds as can be seen in the scope plot. It is like the plasma ball generates its own magnetic field after theRead More →

It was tested using short energy harvesting coils to be fit in the Ignition Chamber. As a result, they collect about 20% less energy. it was tried to change coil shapes in tests S3043 and S3044 but with unsuccessful results. The magnetic sensor-3 obtains high levels of the magnetic field: between 225-238 kiloteslas in the 3041 test and between 219-242 kiloteslas in the second test. The TOF measurements show that the plasma ball was broken sooner than in other tests but at least 88% of the capacitor bank energy was discharged inside before breaking. It was demonstrated that as more energy is collected, more powerfulRead More →

We worked in the new Argon glove box in order to manage poisonous or dangerous materials but left some time to test old and new coils. It was repeated the tests over a coil named “half-coil” using two impedance networks that recovered a lot of energy but less than expected. When dismounting we saw that some holes appeared in the external part but the internal part was really damaged and almost all of it simply disappeared because it was burned and or blown. Also, we installed a new coil system by using shorter coils to reduce the overall size to fit in a truck. TheRead More →

It was made 4 tests: First all it was repeated the test 3033 but it was reduced the capacitive load. As a result, the recovered energy was increased a 210%. The discharge current was also well over the 1 mega amp with an error of 8.3%. The frequency of the magnetic field at the new magnetic sensor was reduced from 139MHz to 109MHz which is too high. The 3 magnetic sensors detected the plasma ball explosion at 5.86microseconds with a time of flight of 28ns between passing sensor-1 to 3 giving 321km/second It can be seen clearly the phase change when the EM pulse reachesRead More →

A new sensor array is installed close to the target. We made 3 tests, in the first test 28 kilotesla was reached, in the second test only 5.6 kilotesla, but in the third 74 kilotesla was reached, but also sustained during 500 nanoseconds!. The new sensor array allows a redundant check of the generated magnetic field and more information of the plasma shape but a lot of calculus was involved In the 3rd test it was used a new system with seven energy recovery coils Energy generation is around the corner Also, we mounted a new globe box to mount inside fusion fuel to beginRead More →

In this test campaign, it is checked using magnetic mirrors and enhanced energy recovery systems. Miranda’s seals have been received for inspection. On the other hand, some parts of the following Pulsotron device are being designed. Regarding the tests, 3 different tests were carried out on the Pulsotron-3 machine working at 90% of the maximum voltage. The use of passive magnetic mirrors was tested as well as electrical energy recovery tests. In addition, some components have been added to the Pulsotron to improve performance and reduce energy leaks, for which it was partially dismantled, but the thunder chamber that was severely damaged after the lastRead More →

In order to check the parts after the high power ray received back during the last tests, it was dismounted and tested every capacitor to look if they work. Their capacity was right, but it is clear they can not withstand working at full power, so it was decreased the working voltage to 87% of the maximum The Electric Energy recovery system was upgraded by increase the cross-section of the power lines ten times, also it was installed 50W slow discharging resistors instead of the old 5W ones. Also, it was designed a new electric recovery coil named “thunder chamber” Tests number 3026 and 3027 wereRead More →

In this week’s tests, it was intended to improve the electric recovery setup by making some modifications to check the electromagnetic transmission of energy. It installed a second DC-link capacitor but before connecting, it was shortened the length of wires and tested. In the third test, the coupling was very good and an extremely high current was flown inside the DC-link capacitor blowing its wires and also a 47-kiloohm 5W resistance installed for slow discharge the DC-ling capacitor between tests, but the capacitor was discharged at the beginning. Here is the photo of the blown resistance: Capture made during test number S3023:   Capture made duringRead More →
