A reactor inspired Iron Man could generate limitless energy. |
Fusion energy could be a reality in less than a decade thanks to Iron Man. It is a group of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), it has designed a small reactor that could create unlimited amounts of energy, with a design commercially viable, identical to that used by Tony Sratk in the hit movie of the comic hero Iron Man.
The fusion technique would provide an inexhaustible source of energy and could solve the global energy crisis, and this design would make this possible because, unlike other similar systems, using new superconducting commercially available, made of barium copper oxide (REBCO ); the strong magnetic fields generated by these coils are better able to contain superheated plasma, allowing the reactor to be smaller, cheaper and faster to build.
While this new reactor is designed for basic research on fusion energy production potential can be multiplied according to the increase of its magnetic field, doubling the magnetic field would increase 16 times the energy produced fusion.
Currently, as designed, the reactor should be able to produce about three times more electricity than it needs to keep running. So far, no fusion reactor had even produced the amount of energy it consumes. For researchers at MIT "fusion energy will be the most important source of power on Earth in the XXII century, but long before the need to avoid catastrophic global warming." This new design is a clear step in this direction.
