Germany’s Proxima Fusion is developing Stellaris, a stellarator-based fusion power plant. It uses twisted magnetic fields to control superhot plasma, allowing atoms to fuse and release energy. The company aims to bring it online in the 2030s.

Germans naming their new tech after the galactic genocide game.

The weird thing about stellarators is that the harder machine to design may end up being the easier one to operate. If Proxima can really make steady-state fusion work without the disruption problem tokamaks face, that feels much closer to something you’d actually want running as a power plant.

Twisted magnetic fields, superhot plasma, atoms fusing… Gary is officially not fixing this one with a wrench. 🔧😄

Still waiting for useful output… and nothing.

Likely that nobody drew that shape. It came out of a computer search for a magnetic field that holds plasma (AI designs are everywhere these days). Proxima even published a dataset so AI models can generate new ones.

wenn in deutschland gesagt wird, es kommt 2030. dann kann ich euch garantieren es kommt nicht frueher als 2040 oder spaeter. Als Stuttgarter garantiere ich es euch.

The Germans really know how to turn people into media-hyped fools. We’ve already seen this with that trollish dwarf, von der Leyen. If you want to pull off a merger, you German morons, first get some fuel from UFOs or send a team to Pluto to give a presentation.

Still feels like sci-fi but it's actually being built.

And it won't work.

Great

Oh baby

Cool I guess. But we underuse solar, our God given right to energy

이론만 존재 했던 개념인데 이 자기장 출력을 구현할 물질을 개발했다는 것인지?

It’s basic physics and a lot of scammed investors, we just wait until free energy arrives and don’t care where it comes from

@grok is nuclear fusion solved? Is it profitable? How much money has been spent developing nuclear fusion? Is it better than solar power?

😄😄😄 What AI is good for (tracking trajectory in real time) gave me 10 (?) years @ 1 kiloton -constant- thrust, to move a 'smaller' asteroid from the belt to Earth orbit, with the mass of the rock for fuel in a "Vortex Fusion" engine. Pay it now, or pay it later, "Ann's Ring":

looks like AI designed that in a simulation.

Actual real-time operation—specifically the stability of the material—will remain a challenge, as will, most importantly, the thermal management and continuous cooling system, albeit in a slightly different configuration.

Hmm

すっごいでっかい融合炉を作ってるけどさ、AIの急速な進歩で全く新しい設計の融合炉が理論上の設計がされちゃって実物が完成する前に旧型って事になりそう

AEG

China fez primeiro

Hahahahahahahahahaa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 by 2030 this reactor design will be so obsolete. All of these companies are building junk!!! You dont need this weird design to acomplish high beta aneutronic fusion. Tired of this stupid shit. Everyone is so amazed by garbage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
