At d3dfusion.org we inject microwaves (100 - 200 GHz) to heat and drive current in our fusion plasmas. We've just unboxed our newest 1 MW microwave unit, a gyrotron named Zapdos, and are excited to bring it online. This unit will extend our plasma parameter range deeper into reactor territory. 🧪

Got my DNP-NMR “LABO” kit from Ames Lab, which they put together as a United Way fundraiser. I will pretend the gyrotron is another NMR magnet and add my lady spectroscopist later (I think the LEGO person is supposed to look like Fred P who has quit bsky maybe) #NMRchat #chemsky

A big step forward for hotter fusion plasmas!
A new gyrotron is completing installation at d3dfusion.org and it will deliver 1 MW of heating and current drive power to the plasma.The unique aspect of this unit is that it can output power at three different frequencies (all above 100 GHz). 🧪 1/2

A 2-megawatt gyrotron could soon heat plasma at Wendelstein 7-X — with the power of about 2,000 household microwaves. IPP, KIT, the University of Stuttgart and Thales are developing the source, cooling and beam transmission technology.

Paul Woskov, an MIT research engineer, demonstrated that millimeter waves could melt through basalt. Vitally they may also be cheaper than conventional drilling. While a mechanically drilled 8km well costs ~$50m, a gyrotron could do it for $110-690k.

Of course technical and practical challenges remain. What happens when bedrock vaporizes? How to transmit the energy down the well? How to set up the rig and obtain the right gyrotron to run 24/7? In 2023, a team vaporized a 10m hole, far from 20km, but it shows progress.

Quaise is the main name here, using gyrotron millimeter-waves to vitrify rock walls as they go. Relevant to CDR if it cuts costs for deep geothermal powering DAC, or for sealed injection wells for CO2 storage. Still pre-commercial though.

The viability of geothermal will change radically if the Quaise gyrotron works as hoped.

DIII-D conducts research across a wide range of plasma parameters, requiring different frequencies of wave injection to be effective. Future fusion reactors will be simpler in this regard; they will operate with a narrow parameter range and use a single frequency gyrotron. 2/2
