It's time to announce Second Quarter 2022 Results for #FusionEnergy

Funding, $M Image
This quarter Eastern part of the world is leading 🌏🧭💵💴💶
The race was started with @HB1116 announcement of $6 million grant awarded and $16 million in contributions from partners

hb11.energy/2022/05/03/hb1…
Our next star is Helical Fusion getting pre-seed investment from Rheos Capital Works, Sony Innovation fund, @plugandplayjp , Biotope and former Microsoft Japan president
@J_Miyazawa

The next one is private initiative from China - Startorus Fusion, we don't know exact numbers, but it varies from $30 to $130 millions

Among investors are angels from @shunweicapital, Casstar, Kunlun Fund, Telescope Investment, MSA Capital, Sequoia Seed Fund K2VC, Unity Ventures
And apparent leader of #Q2 is @energy_zap with $160 millions investment in Series C with @Shell 🙀🙀🙀

@lowercarbon @Breakthrough @DCVC Valor equity partners

Indeed better than in #Q1😺😺😺

Radiative pulsed L-mode operation in ARC-class reactors - fresh one from @CFS_energy and @MIT_Fusion Image
Enhanced confinement & internal transport barriers create large pressure gradients providing significant bootstrap current fractions. High confinement time allows minimization of plasma current improving stability while also reducing external current drive requirements needed
Recently, high temperature superconductor (HTS) technology has dramatically increased achievable on-axis magnetic field in reactor designs. Since fusion power density scales, this technological advancement provides opportunities to improve self-consistent reactor scenarios

Right now, the tritium used in fusion experiments like @iterorg, and the smaller JET tokamak in the UK, comes from a very specific type of nuclear fission reactor called a heavy-water moderated reactor
Many of these reactors are reaching end of their working life, there are fewer than 30 left in operation worldwide —20 in Canada, 4 in South Korea, and 2 in Romania, each producing about 100 grams of tritium a year. (India has plans to build more, but who knows where it ends
