Will Focus Fusion be the next big energy breakthrough?
Dense Plasma Focus can deliver a pulse of 100 J of x-ray energy of 300 KeV in a pulse of 10 nanoseconds.
1. Hydrogen boron gas is transformed into a a plasma.
2. The plasma is pinched and twisted into a tiny, dense ball
3. As the magnetic field starts to decay positive ions flow one direction and negative ions the other direction.
4. An electron beam heats the plasma ball, igniting fusion reactions between the boron and hydrogen.
5. The energy in the ion beam can be converted directing into electricity.
6. Part of the energy powers the next pulse and remainder is output energy.
7. $300k cost, 5-20 MW output
