Simplifying the stellarator
The company maintains that with unique High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets and liquid metal shields, it brings stellarators out of the lab and onto the grid.
“To meet net zero emissions goals, a safe, abundant, 24/7 energy source is needed to complement renewables and storage. Fusion is that source,” said Renaissance Fusion.
The company stressed that in the process of simplifying the stellarator, it also simplifies the manufacturing of high-temperature superconductors (HTS).
This is a relatively new class of materials, allowing the generation of strong magnetic fields and thus enabling more compact and affordable fusion devices. It is typically a very lengthy and expensive process, but the company has accelerated it, according to Innovation News Network.
