Tokamak Energy has just unveiled a detailed plan of Demo4, their magnet system that can carry 12 million amps of electricity to achieve strong magnetic fields for fusion reactors.
One of the main requirements of fusion reactors is strong magnetic fields that can control and confine the hot plasma in the reactor. Large amounts of current need to be passed to generate such large magnetic fields.
Speaking of the development of the HTS magnets, Dr. Rod Bateman, who manages the HTS magnet development team at Tokamak Energy,, "The breakthrough to enable a compact spherical tokamak was the development of HTS material which can operate in high magnetic fields. These HTS magnets generate strong magnetic fields that confine and control the plasma, facilitating higher pressures and temperatures necessary for fusion reactions. Additionally, HTS magnets require less cooling power, simplifying cooling systems and reducing the costs in fusion energy reactors.Tokamak Energy is developing the Demo4 magnet system to replicate the magnetic fields required for fusion power plants.
Ahead of a comprehensive overview of Demo4 presented at SOFE, Graham Dunbar, the Technical Lead at Tokamak Energy, mentioned that the Demo4 system will be a completely balanced set of magnets shaped in a tokamak configuration. The 18 Tesla system will be nearly a million times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.
