| 説明 | Realta’s magnetic mirror fusion reactor is small and modular, with a 50MW minimum efficient scale and lowest cost (cheaper energy than natural gas). This allows it to be used on ships instead of bunker oil, and at remote mining and industrial sites and distributed data centers.Today’s news on our latest investment:“Realta raised $36 million in a round led by Future Ventures.Fusion energy – which recreates the conditions that power the sun and stars – could provide nearly limitless power that is safe, reliable, and zero-carbon.The system is based on the compact magnetic mirror concept, in which extremely strong magnets trap super-heated hydrogen gas between two ends of a simple cylinder. Hydrogen atoms within the cylinder collide and fuse together, releasing massive amounts of carbon-free energy that can be delivered as heat or electricity. Animation video of operation."As one of the few fusion startups that have demonstrated an actual operating plasma, they can be one of the leaders in this space," said Future Ventures co-founder Steve Jurvetson, an early investor in Tesla, SpaceX, Planet, xAI, and D-Wave.Future Ventures co-founder Maryanna Saenko noted "We're investing early in Realta Fusion because they're charting a faster, more flexible path to commercial fusion. By focusing on compact magnetic mirror systems, Realta addresses a critical decarbonization need that larger projects aren't targeting. It's a nimble, application-driven strategy that could bring fusion benefits to market sooner."Realta Fusion spun out of an experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The experiment was the first to use high temperature superconducting magnets in a magnetic mirror configuration and confined its first plasma at a world-record breaking magnetic field strength of 17 Tesla.” — TechCrunch and PRnewswireBy using the novel high-temp superconducting magnets from Commonwealth Fusion, Realta holds the "record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma. For every doubling of the strength of a magnetic field, the power output of one reactor design increases 16-fold." — TechcrunchCompany: RealtaFusion.com |
