Humanity stands on the threshold of a new energy era. In Hefei, eastern China, the next-generation "artificial sun" known as BEST is designed to transform fusion from a science experiment into a real-world power source. Standing for Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak, the reactor’s mission is to achieve “burning plasma,” where the fusion reaction generates its own sustaining heat. This is essential for the industry's holy grail: net energy gain. Targeting a 20 to 200 megawatt output (enough to power tens of thousands of households), BEST plans to demonstrate electricity generation by 2030. As a member of ITER—the world’s largest international fusion project in France—China contributes key components and shares research outcomes. Operating within frameworks like the “Hefei Fusion Declaration,” BEST serves as an open platform, pooling data and resources to accelerate the global transition to abundant, zero-carbon energy. This collaboration is proving that fusion is no longer just a distant dream, but a viable future solution.

Researchers at Tokamak Energy have captured for the first time a real-time, high-speed video of plasma behaviour inside their ST40 spherical tokamak, tracking visible green and red light emissions as the fusion process occurs. This visual insight comes via a camera operating at thousands of frames per second, offering unprecedented detail of how the plasma evolves, interacts with the surrounding lithium blanket and outer regions, and ultimately radiates energy. The imaging enables scientists to observe how the ultra-hot core transitions outward into cooler zones, how magnetic confinement shapes the plasma behaviour, and how impurities or outer-region interactions influence the process. By giving a ‘star-in-a-donut’ view of fusion in action, this breakthrough adds a new diagnostic tool to the development of fusion energy, helping engineers refine the magnetic confinement, optimise plasma stability and better understand the heat and light flows at play. It was slowed down by 100x. All this was for 0.3s A tokamak is one of the most advanced devices ever created to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the Sun. Its goal is simple in principle but incredibly challenging in practice: heat a gas until it becomes plasma, raise that plasma to over 100 million degrees, and confine it long enough for hydrogen nuclei to fuse and release energy. Because no material container can survive such temperatures, a tokamak uses powerful magnetic fields to hold and shape the plasma like an invisible cage. The device has a distinctive doughnut-shaped (toroidal) chamber surrounded by magnetic coils. When the machine is switched on, electric currents and external magnets work together to create helical magnetic fields that trap the plasma and keep it away from the walls. As the plasma spirals around these magnetic lines, it heats up dramatically. Additional heating comes from methods like radio-frequency waves and neutral-beam injection, pushing the plasma toward the extreme temperatures needed for fusion. Inside this tightly controlled environment, hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium can collide and fuse, releasing fast neutrons and a burst of energy. The goal of tokamak research is to reach a point where the fusion reactions produce more energy than the system consumes, a milestone known as “net energy gain.” Modern machines like ITER, JET, and Tokamak Energy’s ST40 are bringing this vision closer, using advanced diagnostics, superconducting magnets, and increasingly stable plasma control. 👉

China Northern Rare Earth Group not only mastered the smelting & separation tech for 6N purity RE alloy, but since 2022, it has spent 400 days to create an automatic production line from RE concentrates to Oxides. It has 60% of global capacity in RE smelting & separation. Reminder that it takes a lot of effort & research to develop ultra high purity RE material & to produce production line capable of high level production. Remember that with highly automated production line for oxides, you don't need as many specialized workers to produce the capacity you need. You just need a lot of energy + capex. This is why when we hear Heavy RE processing plant built outside of China that started production, it's always important to see how much they are able to actually produce.

Taming the Edge: How lithium could help us control #fusion plasmas. This video captures the first flashes of lithium being injected into the #plasma of our ST40 tokamak, marking the start of our exploration into its effects. Why lithium? In fusion research, we aim for H-mode, a high-performance state with improved plasma confinement. Future fusion power plants are expected to operate in this mode. But H-mode brings a challenge: ELMs (Edge Localised Modes) are bursts of energy at the plasma edge, similar to mini solar flares. These can reduce plasma temperature and damage the divertor with intense heat and particles. Pioneering work by PPPL and others has shown that lithium can suppress ELMs and increase energy confinement time, leading to higher temperatures. On ST40, we’re currently injecting lithium powder during plasma shots to explore its effects. As part of our upcoming ST40 LEAPS upgrade – in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero – we’ll go further, coating plasma-facing components with solid lithium using the ‘lithium evaporation’ technique. We’ll be experimentally testing several mechanisms. One key focus is how lithium absorbs hydrogen isotopes and reduces their recycling back into the plasma, lowering the density at the plasma edge, leading to a more stable edge pressure gradient. We’re starting to understand more about lithium’s effect on plasma performance, and early results show lithium isn't getting into the plasma core, which is good news for avoiding diluting the fusion fuel in future plants. The physics is complex, and we’re still learning. But each step brings us closer to fusion energy. By incorporating lithium into ST40, the world’s highest field spherical tokamak, we’re advancing our understanding of this critical enabling technology. #Fusion #FusionEnergy #Innovation #Limitless #EnergyTransition

🚨 US PLASMA FUSION ENERGY READY FOR CORPORATE DEPLOYMENT !? This time last year the US Government and scientific institutions were still referring to plasma fusion energy as fringe science - without evidence that it could be sustained Now I have found official documents referring to deployment, distribution and commercial rollout plans. Not under the Department of Energy but under what is now called the Department of War - yes the priority is very much a military one In documents relating to the 2026 National Defense Authorisation Act, lawyers appear to be involved in a process which asks the Pentagon to examine and explain deployment pathways, infrastructure requirements, supply chains, critical materials, regulatory barriers and military applications. Those are the questions you ask when you're planning adoption. Not when you're debating whether something is possible. And Congress specifically requested analysis of compact fusion systems capable of producing high-energy neutrons for radioisotope production. So just how far ahead are the US from what we have been led to believe in a race that is worth more than the current US national debt? Morgan Stanley has estimated the victorious first mover advantage will secure a market worth $40 trillion - and all this on the back of plasma physicists and academics going missing, whilst Trump Media Group completes billion dollar deals with plasma fusion specialists like TAE Listen now to some of the details that may open up a very big debate indeed 👇 #nuclear #energy Smitty 🇺🇸🦅 Destiny Rezendes Ashton Forbes

Elon Musk just exposed the most catastrophic energy blindspot in the entire AI arms race. The West is still debating which twigs to burn. China is capturing the sun. Musk: “People just don’t understand how solar is everything. Compared to the sun, all other energy sources are like cavemen throwing some twigs into a fire.” Every natural gas plant. Every nuclear reactor. Every experimental fusion project being debated in Washington right now. Twigs. Musk: “We have a giant free fusion reactor that shows up every day. It’s farcical for us to create little fusion reactors.” And then he gave the most clarifying statistic in the entire energy debate. Musk: “The sun is over 99.8% of all mass in the solar system. Jupiter is around 0.1%. So even if you burnt Jupiter, the energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%.” Musk: “And then if you teleported three more Jupiters into our solar system and burnt them too, it would still round up.” The sun is not an energy source. It is the only energy source. Everything else is rounding error. China already knows this. While American tech executives beg for permits to build natural gas plants, China crossed 1,000 gigawatts of installed solar capacity in 2025. More than the rest of the world combined. They are not holding summits about it. They are not commissioning reports about it. They are building it. Harvesting the free fusion reactor that arrives every morning at zero cost and feeding it directly into their AI data centers. The AI race is not an algorithm race. It is an electro-industrial race. You cannot build superintelligence without infinite compute. You cannot have infinite compute without infinite energy. And right now, the United States is losing the energy war while holding committee meetings about which twigs to burn next. China built the energy-compute flywheel. Cheap, scalable, infinite solar power feeding AI models at a fraction of the cost. Compounding every single day. The nation that captures the sun’s output will hold a permanent monopoly on global intelligence. The nation that doesn’t will spend the next decade trying to understand how it lost. Everyone else gets left holding the twigs.

Free Energy Announcement Free Energy, otherwise known as Overunity is 100% real. The devices exist already. I have been told exactly how an operational device works. I signed an NDA so I won't be able to disclose specifics. Instead, I want to explain the concepts so everyone understands how it is possible. Overunity means Coefficient of Performance (CoP) greater than 1. More energy coming out of the device than is being locally put into it. This allows for a system that can perpetually produce energy without being plugged in. Many will claim this breaks the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The reason it doesn't break the second law is similar to a windmill or solar panel. The system is open to the Aether (quantum fluctuations) in the same way those systems are open to nature. The first law of thermodynamics says energy cannot be created or destroyed. Solar and wind cannot output more energy than they take because the inputs are limited, but the Aether represents potentially unlimited additional energy input. This is how an Overunity system produces CoP greater 1. 'Free Energy' is a misnomer. It means that the potential energy accessed is unlimited, but it does not mean that the cost of extracting it is zero. The materials to produce an Overunity device are currently expensive, as is the labor to build it. When these devices become more efficient to produce, the cost will drop. The benefits of Overunity include; 1. Energy independence from energy companies 2. The ability to live off the grid 3. No loss of power when the grid fails 4. Green energy with no pollution 5. Cost savings over time from high energy bills The downsides of Overunity include; 1. Large initial device cost 2. Disbelief I hope this information is as exciting to you as it is to me. I will try to answer any questions I can in the comments below. I am also willing to appear on shows and podcasts to discuss these concepts with the public. There are more announcements to come in the near future. Thank you.

How to get to Mars in just 3 months? The British startup Pulsar Fusion has presented an ambitious project — Sunbird. This is a space tug with a thermonuclear engine that can accelerate to 800,000 km/h! At this speed, you can fly to Mars in just 2-3 months, and to Jupiter or Saturn — in a few years. The engine is based on a thermonuclear reaction between deuterium and helium-3. Unlike conventional nuclear fuel, it produces almost no radioactive waste — mainly protons are released, not neutrons. The engine operates on the principle of direct fusion: the plasma is not held inside, but is immediately ejected, creating a powerful jet stream. This is simpler than complex installations on Earth, and does not require a large energy output — the reaction itself is enough. The first flight of the prototype into space is planned for 2027, and a full-fledged tugboat by 2030. In the future, Pulsar Fusion wants to build a network of "fueling stations" throughout the Solar System. Such stations will help recharge tugs and send missions even to the most distant planets.

🚨 MISSING SCIENTISTS, METEORITES, GLOBAL ENERGY & IRAN WAR CONNECTION!? 🚨 Pure science and logic points to a fascinating, perhaps disturbing, potential connection between the recent deaths and disappearances of scientists and nuclear, oil and energy (Iran) wars & recent meteorite showers across the US In 2017 scientists confirmed that the heaviest elements on Earth - gold uranium and the building blocks of nuclear power, are forged in neutron star collisions. Plasma fusion energy would obliterate the economic advantage and power of energy oil cartels These two statements cover the two scientific areas the two recently murdered US scientists specialised in Nuclear material and fusion energy require specific elements (uranium, iridium ... ) They are not 'made' on earth but over decades and centuries in space. When a neutron star collision occurs this produces fragments that burn through the atmosphere as fireballs or bolides - meteorites like those seen over California, Ohio and Texas recently Many Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated on record in recent years. But of course nobody can put all these jigsaw pieces together and claim a connection What we do know is that Trump media group bought a plasma fusion specialist company, TAE, just days after the murder of MIT scientist Nuno Loreiro and that the NASA award winning scientist who suffered the same fate just weeks later was a neutron star expert You can see why I cannot go into much detail or make any claims but I will leave the curious coincidences open for your own judgement. Dark Journalist Ashton Forbes UAP James and others are ready doing some great research in these areas and I suggest you look at their profiles and stories too. You know that this subject is sensitive and will not be looked on favourably by the algorithm so I would also appreciate reposts and quote posts with my thanks #Energy #Scientists

Helion energy is building what will be the world’s first commercial fusion power plant, scheduled to be finished in 3 years. Great interview by Lex Fridman with David Kirtley (CEO of Helion). Most power plants are heat engines. You burn fuel or run fission, boil water, spin a turbine, and get about 35% electricity while the rest leaves as waste heat. Helion flips the flow. The fusion reaction makes charged particles that push back on a magnetic field tied to a capacitor bank, so you get direct electricity instead of a steam loop. That path can reach about 85% efficiency from fusion energy to electrical output, which means less conversion gear and tighter control over power delivery. 🧪 How the machine works A giant capacitor bank drives coils that both accelerate and squeeze plasma. Two plasmas, deuterium plus helium‑3, are launched from opposite sides and collide in the center. By rapidly reversing the magnetic field in about 1 microsecond, the plasma self-organizes into a field‑reversed configuration that traps itself. Then the machine compresses it hard. Fusion happens, new charged particles appear, and their pressure pushes the magnetic field so the system dumps energy back into the capacitors. It is pulsed, up to 100Hz in tests, so each shot is a clean measure of input versus recovered electricity. 🛡️ Safety and waste There is no chain reaction. The device only holds about 1 second of fuel at any time, so stopping the drive stops fusion. X‑rays and some neutrons exist during operation, so you use shielding and standard controls, similar to particle‑accelerator facilities. When the pulse stops, the radiation source stops. 🖥️ Why data centers care The output is high‑voltage DC sitting on capacitors. You can invert to AC for the grid, or route DC with fewer conversions into rectifier buses for racks. That cuts losses and simplifies backup. The company is targeting 2028 for a first grid-tied plant for a large buyer, which lines up with growing AI power needs. 🧩 What is still hard Helium‑3 is scarce on Earth, so you must produce it or source it. This fuel also likes higher temperatures, roughly 200M-300M degrees, so the pulsed magnets and power electronics must be very fast and very tough. Stability is managed by giving the plasma enough “spin” and length so it behaves like a fast top that stays upright, plus thousands of synchronized switches that fire with microsecond timing. If this architecture keeps showing pulse gain and high‑efficiency recovery, you get a compact generator that skips steam, feeds a capacitor, and delivers clean power in the exact format modern compute wants.

💎Scientists and engineers from the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UK Atomic Energy Authority) and the University of Bristol (University of Bristol) have successfully created the world’s first carbon-14 diamond battery. This new type of battery has the potential to power devices for thousands of years, making it an incredibly long-lasting energy source. The battery leverages the radioactive isotope, carbon-14, known for its use in radiocarbon dating, to produce a diamond battery. Several game-changing applications are possible. Bio-compatible diamond batteries can be used in medical devices like ocular implants, hearing aids, and pacemakers, minimising the need for replacements and distress to patients. Diamond batteries could also be used in extreme environments – both in space and on earth – where it is not practical to replace conventional batteries. The batteries could power active radio frequency (RF) tags where there is a need to identify and track devices either on earth or in space, such as spacecraft or payloads, for decades at a time, thus reducing costs and extending operational lifespan. “Diamond batteries offer a safe, sustainable way to provide continuous microwatt levels of power. They are an emerging technology that use a manufactured diamond to safely encase small amounts of carbon-14,” said Sarah Clark, Director of Tritium Fuel Cycle at UKAEA. The carbon-14 diamond battery works by using the radioactive decay of carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,700 years, to generate low levels of power. It functions similarly to solar panels, which convert light into electricity, but instead of using light particles (photons), they capture fast-moving electrons from within the diamond structure. Professor Thomas Scott, Professor in Materials at the University of Bristol, said: “Our micropower technology can support a whole range of important applications from space technologies and security devices through to medical implants. We're excited to be able to explore all of these possibilities, working with partners in industry and research, over the next few years.” A team of scientists and engineers from both organisations worked together to build a plasma deposition rig, a specialised apparatus used for growing the diamond at UKAEA’s Culham Campus. This development is the result, in part, of UKAEA’s work on fusion energy. The expertise gained in fusion research is helping to accelerate innovation in related technologies.

🚨BREAKING: UAE🇦🇪 EXITS OPEC AND OPEC+, OPEC LOSES ITS THIRD LARGEST PRODUCER The UAE announced its withdrawal from OPEC after more than five decades, effective on the 1st of May. The UAE is a founding member, having joined in 1967, four years before the UAE itself was established. The UAE said the move reflects its national interest and its role in meeting market needs at a time when the Strait of Hormuz crisis has disrupted energy flows and kept oil prices elevated, and forecasted higher energy demand in the future. The UAE has ambitions to increase production from 3.4 million barrels per day to five million by 2027, which OPEC quotas would have constrained. The UAE’s decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+ is a fundamental reordering of the global energy market, and a further shift towards multipolarity, with the UAE positioning itself to be at the forefront of meeting rising global energy demand. OPEC has long declined in its geopolitical power, and the UAE has decided to forge its own path with having no limits on increasing production, as the world reels from the energy shock unleashed by the Trump-Netanyahu war of aggression against Iran. The UAE is not the first in the GCC to leave OPEC, with Qatar leaving in 2019. The propaganda headlines you’ll be seeing of a UAE-Saudi conflict over the decision will likely amount to hot air. There will inevitably be short-term energy price instability, but countries around the world will rush to secure deals with the UAE to offset a major economic crisis caused by the war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The international institutions of old are increasingly irrelevant, and OPEC is widely seen as the organisation of yesterday. The future will likely involve energy institutions and mechanisms within BRICS, to facilitate stable energy prices in a multipolar world. The UAE’s exit from OPEC is just one step closer in that direction. With China and the global south set to drive economic growth this century, the UAE is now well-positioned to benefit from multipolarity, free of production caps, as long-term energy demand will continue climbing, as the nations of the global south develop their economies and increase living standards for their people.

Reposting because the AEC requires authorisation... "AEC rules Abbie Chatfield does not need authorisation for podcast, but cross-posting rules unclear" - There are rules for some but not others. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• It’s time governments stopped lying about renewable energy. “The federal government’s wind farm subsidies are enriching foreign corporates and leaving Australians worse off, all in an effort to prop up unreliable and inefficient renewable energy projects,” said Mia Schlicht, Research Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs. Today, the IPA released new research detailing how the federal government’s Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) guarantees a river of gold for predominantly foreign owned wind farms and how the cost is transferred to electricity consumers. The research found: In 2024, through the LRET subsidy scheme, a total of $1.04 billion was paid by electricity consumers to the 50 largest wind farms operating in Australia. 35 of Australia’s 50 largest wind farms, 70 per cent, are entirely or partially foreign owned. Australian energy consumers were forced to pay $689 million to foreign owned wind farms. “In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, the federal government is forcing Australian electricity consumers to hand over $1 billion through hidden charges on their power bills to largely foreign owned companies, all in the name of net zero,” said Ms Schlicht. “How can the Prime Minister, having broken his promise to cut household power bills, justify sending over $689 million to foreign companies when mainstream Australians cannot afford their power bills?” To meet economy wrecking emissions reduction targets, the federal government forces electricity retailers to purchase large-scale generation certificates from renewable energy producers. This artificially inflates the demand for renewables, with added costs passed on to consumers.” One of the biggest subsides that renewables get is the renewable energy target that forces energy retailers to buy renewable energy or they get penalised. This forces demand for renewables up in the short window that the sun is shining which increases the price of energy via your power bill. This scheme isn’t well understood but it should be, because if people knew how much it was increasing their power bills and that the money was going offshore they would be up in arms. People First will continue to lobby for the removal of the RET as it is unacceptable the energy prices are being forced up because of it. Quote from:
