Wellington. In a commercial warehouse in the capital of New Zealand, a startup has started working on a technology that will be able to harness the sun’s power on Earth. The target of this startup is to control nuclear fusion, which can be an unlimited and clean source of energy. This technology is based on an ‘inside out’ reactor, in which powerful levitating magnets are being used. Through this, nuclear fusion can be achieved, which is the opposite of the currently used nuclear division.
Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two hydrogen atoms together to produce enormous amounts of energy, using the world’s most common element – hydrogen. This type of energy can not only solve the energy crisis, but it can also prove to be a boon for the environment. The success of this project will open up the possibility of a clean and stable energy source in the future, which can be an important step towards the green revolution. If this project is successful, it can bring a new turning point in the global energy industry, and can prove to be a big step towards the supply of clean energy all over the world.
Earlier this month, OpenStar Technologies announced that it had managed to create extremely hot plasma at temperatures of nearly 300,000 degrees Celsius or 540,000 degrees Fahrenheit – an essential step on a long path toward producing fusion energy. The company called it a major achievement. Ratu Mataira, founder and CEO of OpenStar, said, “The first plasma is a really important moment, it is the moment when you know that everything works effectively.”
He told CNN it took the company two years and about $10 million to get here, making it cheaper and faster than the government-led efforts that have dominated the fusion energy sector for decades. Is. OpenStar is one of many startups pushing the world toward the nuclear fusion finish line by finding ways to commercialize the energy source of the future.
