Late last century, the Joint European Torus (JET) near Oxford, UK, churned out 22 megajoules of energy in what was, at the time, a record in fusion power.
Late last century, the Joint European Torus near Oxford, UK, churned out 22 megajoules of energy in what was, at the time, a record inNow, experimental upgrades have brought the facility into line with the technology anticipated for a major international project, resulting in the production of nearly three times that amount of power.
Most research on fusion currently uses common forms of hydrogen with either a single proton in its nucleus , or a slightly rarer form with a proton and a neutron . Since then they've been tinkering with designs, including the replacement of the carbon lining, with a mixture of tungsten and beryllium. While the new material is more resilient and won't act like a hydrogen sponge in ways that carbon can, it does affect the plasma's movement.
