The problem with fusion energy is simple: how to control 150 million degrees plasma?

The AI can control fusion. And the Princeton researchers made a big work with the AI and its ability to control high-temperature systems. AI is a tool that can control the magnetic fields and plasma-energy interactions with a very high accuracy. The form of fusion reactor is forming. The most promising version is the Tokamak. The Tokamak reactor is a donut-shaped accelerator. In that reactor, magnetic field and laser rays push plasma into high pressure and raise its temperature to 150 million degrees Celsius. 

The problem is this. The system must compensate for the pressure in the sun's nucleus. The system raises plasma temperature higher than in the sun's core. That reactor must keep plasma hovering in the reactor because if plasma touches the reactor shell, it burns a hole in the reactor, causing an explosion. 

Another problem is this: how to keep plasma in form? The answer could be that the system starts a fusion reaction at the plasma-ring outer shell. That presses energy in the plasma. If a reaction happens in the middle of the plasma ring, that flash destroys the entirety. It's a big problem to control the high-energy plasma in temperature. That is higher than in the sun's nucleus. 

The new wave-based theory of heat transport can make a revolution in the fusion tests. The idea is that the system creates a wave-based thermal pump, that transports energy out from the plasma. This system can make the cooler point in the plasma ring, and that helps high-temperature ion or anion particle impact. 

And for controlling the system, researchers need all the information about it. And that means they must know precisely how heat moves in complex structures. The heat transporting theory is important when a system tries to predict a point, where too high an energy level in the wrong point destroys the structure. 

The photon polarization means that certain wavelengths can removed from radiation. If the system can polarize infrared radiation, that can deny the infrared impact to the reactor. The problem is, how to make that thing in 150 million degrees. 

One solution that can control temperature is infrared lasers that shoot counterwaves against infrared radiation. That comes out from the plasma.  If that counterwave system is powerful enough, that system can push all infrared radiation back into the system.






The answer could be the cold fusion. 

Originally cold fusion meant thermonuclear bombs where plutonium shell surrounds the fusion stage. In the regular Teller-Ulam construction, the fission stage that ignites the fusion is in the middle of the fusion stage. That causes the effect, that fission breaks the fusion structure. When the fission starts at the bomb's outer shell, it keeps the fusion material in its form longer than in the original solution. 

So. 

In hot fusion, the fission stage is in the middle of the fusion stage. 

In cold fusion, the fission is around the fusion stage. 


The other version of cold fusion is that the particle accelerators shoot ions and anions together. 


Today, cold fusion means the fusion where particle accelerators shoot ions and anions together. The system is hard to make in Tokamak. The system requires the ability to control plasma. And if the system injects anions into the ion ring, that will begin fusion. But the problem is that the same magnets that push ion plasma in the middle of the torus pull the anions to its shell. 

The cold fusion requires an "Y" shape reactor. There are two accelerator lines. That shoots ions and anions into the same point. One version is to use sodium and chloride ions and anions. Then those ions and anions will make the fusion reaction. This system can operate, as a pulsed plasma fusion engine in a futuristic interplanetary spacecraft. 

The other version is that the Tokamak creates the ion or anion plasma ring. And then the system brings an object with opposite polarity in the middle of the plasma ring. That thing should pull the plasma ring in that particle beam. The system creates a ring-shaped anion plasma ring. And then it shoots that ring to the particle accelerator. In that structure is a proton beam that pulls anion plasma in it.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
