By: Tom D. Tamarkin March 5, 2017 Introduction Mankind thrives on Earth today with a worldwide population of over 7 billion people. Fundamental to his existence is agriculture and energy. It takes massive amounts of energy to sustain agriculture. And it takes energy to produce and transport water for man and crops. Man has built … Read more
By: Tom D. Tamarkin Jan. 20, 2017 Proposal for privately funded fusion energy experimental science, R&D leading to commercialization Abstract The world will soon face an energy crisis of monumental proportions which many ignore. By 2050 we must significantly increase total energy production or face a need for worldwide redistribution of wealth and energy allocation … Read more
Members of Tom’s family for the last hundred years have had “science in their blood.” Tom’s great grandfather was Sir Thomas E. Thorpe, a very highly esteemed chemist in the U.K. From 1951 to 1968 Tom’s father, Thomas E. Thorpe, taught physics at West Phoenix High School (WPHS.) WPHS earned the reputation of having one … Read more
Submitted on 18 Mar 2014 (v1), last revised 13 May 2014 (this version, v3) C. E. Knapp and R. C. Kirkpatrick Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA Abstract: A one dimensional parameter study of a Magneto-Inertial Fusion (MIF) concept indicates that significant gain may be achievable. This concept uses a dynamically formed … Read more
the Last Tech Age 2014/12/30 Do magnetized plasma targets offer options for smaller, cheaper fusion power? In this part -2 of our Paths Not Followed series, we discuss 3 proposals that show promise of being fusion game changers. All consider manipulating blobs of plasma isolated from any coils that generate magnetic fields for confinement. All … Read more
