Z-machine vs ITER

[Ahmed]

On the solar, you are surely right, moreover this company plans eventually to establish this kind of facilities around the Mediterranean.
Reducing conso is a necessity, but not an absolute solution. The real energy priority is liquid fuel, but I do not see a solution capable of amortizing the shock due, not to the disappearance, but to the depletion of oil.

If the fusion plants give enough electricity not too expensive, the solution will be to look for electric cars or hydrogen.
It is also possible to incorporate carbon atoms (extracts from atmospheric CO2) into hydrogen molecules (obtained by electrolysis), and thus produce synthetic hydrocarbons allowing current ride vehicles (provided it does not emit particles nor nitrogen oxides).
You can also invest in the production of liquid fuel made from biomass (a by-product of solar energy).

The breakdown of gasoline makes me less afraid than the breakdown of meaning, because the first is coming and the second is already there for a long time!

So Cuicui, news of the Z-Machine?

We look forward to seeing you! Capt, to relaunch the subject.
I only have information that JP PETIT publishes on his city.
It is supposed that dry carbide at Sandia Labs. Unfortunately, the blackout is now total, which is surprising.
On the other hand, as I have already pointed out, JPP considers that the restoration of the French Gramat z-machine is of little interest, since by its design, its power is too limited. It should be designed and built another. Price: 1 / 200e of ITER. It could be built in less than a year.
Huge sums of money continue to be swallowed up for the construction of ITER and Megajoule (which have a military interest) but still nothing for the study of a non-polluting power plant with boron-hydrogen fusion.
As seems to say those who govern us: fight against pollution and the greenhouse effect, yes, but provided you do not shade the oil and fission nuclear power plants!

1 year and a half later ...

I have not heard of Z-pinch, except what I was able to convey to my entourage who ask me questions about the photo of the Sandia Z-Machine in my office

On the American side, it's the total blackout. The Russians too are very discreet. Apparently, they are very happy to be able to make miniature H bombs, reliable and maintenance-free expensive because without bomb A by way of matches. Electricity generation does not seem to interest them, as current means provide sufficient profits for their shareholders.
To hear about z-pinch, France + some partners should finance a proto. But do not count too much, since it would shade the juicy industry of uranium fission.
And then, it may upset all those who trumpet loudly, for years, that ITER is the future.

This is indeed the misfortune, in France, "the church of the immaculate fission", breaks in the bud all the programs which overshadow it.
On the other side of the Atlantic, it's different, as long as it will not exploit the last liters of oil, we must not rely on the emergence of power plant with magnetic necking.
