PLASMA FUSION, Part II
Stephen M. Elliott
The development of plasma fusion power plants will provide an abundant and environmentally clean supply of electrical power. Once fully developed, this method of producing electrical power will produce more energy than is needed by our growing population, will not contribute to climate change, and avoids the problem of high level radioactive waste.
Following the popular plasma fusion power seminar last September, Steve Elliot is returning (as promised) for Part II.
Following the popular plasma fusion power seminar last September, Steve Elliot is returning (as promised) for Part II.
This time he will present, “ the first development stage of the Split Torus Small Tokamak (STST), an actual plasma device that we will use to gain experience with ionized gas and tokamak machines. The STST will be developed over time and will continue to be part of future GiF workshops.” Part II discussion will focus on ionized gas plasma and a review of the principles of tokamak fusion machines.
RSVP: February 14 for returning students to secure your spot
March 4, for everyone else, space limited.

In part I workshop, on September 5, 2010, Steve discussed basics of fusion reactions, the tokamak fusion machines and tokamaks in different countries including the ITER tokamak being built in France.
If you are interested in the environment, energy, and big science, bring your ideas and join us. Aside from Plasma Fusion Power, in the fall of 2009 Steve also did a two-part GiF series on Thought Experiment/ Designing With Your Mind with two groups of 8 children who worked on the project over two weekends in a row. Steve is based in Colorado and travels to Europe for his work once or twice a year.
More About Steve:
Stephen M. Elliott: In 1975 at the Scaife Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh, Stephen M. Elliott started working in charged particle physics. During his career, Mr. Elliott has worked on the development of ion beam sources, electron guns, linear accelerators, field emitting devices, magnetron sputtering cathodes, and plasma and ion deposited thin film coatings. In 1991, he founded Thin Film Consulting to provide charged particle beam device design and thin film process development services. In 1993, Mr. Elliott began using Vector Fields software for space charge beam device development. Since then, he has developed models for the simulation of X-ray tubes, neutron generators, plasma and surface ion beam sources, electron guns, cavity resonators, klystrons, and ion spacecraft thrusters. In 2008, Mr. Elliott became the CEO and Sr. Scientist of Lamplighter Technology Inc.
