Self-colliding Beam - Plasma hybrid
Fusion
21st started when…
Back in 1985 an article in Science Magazine peaked the inventor’s interest in fusion.
21st’s technology is based on Bogdan Maglich’s private fusion research company Advanced Physics work. Maglich’s Advanced Physics Corporation had Murray Gell-Mann and Glen Seaborg on the Board of Directors. Advanced Physics Corp. closed down in 1994.
High energy (large orbit) designs were at the heart of the Migma approach.
NOW, after more than 30 years of development 21st Century Fusion is ready to launch a patented fusion technology based on the Migma Fusion approach of B. Maglich.
The photos in the gallery are from the various early stages of the original (garage based) fusion research. There you will see some devices which led to the published and pending (and abandoned) patents that will be the first to energy positive (Q>1) fusion. The device will produce small quantities of electricity. The first and second iterations are not expected to exceed 10kW. These iterations will provide scaling laws and provide design requirements for HTS High Temperature Superconductors. These designs will be used to qualify HTS production and delivery among the numerous HTS companies around the world. The price of fusion will be directly linked to the price of HTS magnet systems, including the cryo-plants necessary for remote independent operation.
21stCenturyFusion system optimizes the means of energizing ions, via ExB acceleration. The energetic ions are focused directly onto themselves (self-intersecting orbits, Migma). It is thus an accelerator and a beam collider in the same device.
