Pacific Fusion’s next fusion machine could clear a key hurdle to commercial power | TechCrunch

太平洋融合公司(Pacific Fusion)于周二在新墨西哥州动工建设一座旨在实现“净设施增益”的聚变能源演示设施,这是其迈向商业化发电的关键一步。该公司计划在 2030 年前实现净设施增益,并瞄准在 2030 年代中期运营商业电站。该阿尔伯克基项目将测试其利用高强度电脉冲产生磁场压缩燃料靶的技术,演示设施每日可发射数发“脉冲”,而全尺寸电站需每秒发射一发。新系统由 156 个脉冲模块组成,每个脉冲能量约为 100 兆焦耳,是纳点火设施(National Ignition Facility)输出的十倍。作为成立于 2023 年且已筹集超过 10 亿美元的新兴企业,太平洋融合公司正致力于成为全球首个交付此类高产出聚变设施的实体,同时该基地还将承担涉及高当量聚变的国家安全相关实验。
