General Fusion Company: A New Take on Fusion Energy

AI Thread Summary
A new company, General Fusion, is attempting to market an alternative style of fusion reactor, diverging from the traditional tokamak design commonly associated with large-scale projects like ITER. This approach involves magnetized target fusion, which combines elements of magnetic confinement and inertial confinement fusion. The discussion highlights the novelty of this technology and its potential implications for the future of fusion energy. Participants express surprise at the emergence of such innovations in the fusion sector. The conversation emphasizes the importance of exploring diverse fusion technologies.

Hello all,

I cam across this company on the web and was very suprised to see that a company is trying to market a different style of fusion reactor. I only knew of the tokamak geometry and of the large scale fusion reactor projects like ITER.

Ayone else see this?

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
