Tokamak Energy high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets - achievements and current projects
Ғылым және технология
Our high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology unlocks the pathway to commercial fusion energy and has a wide range of other potential applications, including medical, science, renewable energy and propulsion in water, air and space. In this video, Principal Magnet Engineer Greg Brittles gives an overview of the progress we’ve made and what we’re working on now.

any plans for dealing with the neutrons?

It's an important point - we're developing shielding materials for the HTS magnets
great work when is the next reactor going to be up and running?

The next campaign with our ST40 spherical tokamak is due to start later this year. We've also completed design work on our next advanced prototype fusion device which is scheduled for build completion in the late 2020s and will demonstrate multiple advanced technologies required for fusion energy and inform the design of a fusion pilot plant.
Can you cool them with something other than liquid helium though? Helium, being an ever diminishing resource is not something you want to be dependent on.

Yes, we can get down to 20K using cryocoolers without the need for liquid helium - it's one of the major advantages of high-temperature superconductors vs low temperature superconductors
