OpenStar Technologies Ltd is pursuing a levitating dipole reactor (LDR) for fusion energy production. As part of the first LDR prototype, a 5.6 T, 1.44 kA HTS magnet, Junior, has been successfully designed, built and tested.
Junior consists of 14 non-insulated (NI), solder impregnated HTS coils connected in series. Coil parameters such as radial resistance and joint resistances are...
Open Star Technologies is advancing the Levitated Dipole reactor concept, utilizing high-temperature superconducting technology to maintain a toroidal magnetic field for effective plasma confinement. Inspired by Earth's magnetic field, this innovative approach offers distinct advantages over other fusion concepts. It enables rapid iteration cycles, ensures inherently stable plasma physics, and...
