Summary
[edit]| DescriptionHeavy Lifting — the Book of CFS just arrived (55101635086).jpg |
English: The cover (below) shows a top down slice of the SPARC fusion plant, with a ring of 18 D-shaped toroidal magnets, each strong enough to levitate an aircraft carrier. Embedded in the center of the cover is a slice of their superconducting VIPER cable that makes the magnets.
CFS VIPER: "The magnet can handle strong electromagnetic forces that in effect try to unravel the loops of cable that make up the magnet. PIT VIPER can withstand 1000 kilonewtons of force per meter of looped cable. That’s like each turn of the magnet standing up to the thrust of a SpaceX Raptor rocket engine trying to pull it apart. Second, a single PIT VIPER cable can carry an extraordinary 50 kiloamps of electrical current — about what 250 American homes would use at their maximum power consumption. Third, PIT VIPER can operate under a pressure of 300 megapascals. That’s nearly triple the pressure of ocean water 36,000 feet down at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot in the planet’s oceans." |
