First Light used a large two-stage hyper-velocity gas gun to launch a projectile at a target, containing the fusion fuel and achieved fusion. The projectile reached a speed of 6.5 km per second before ...

First Light Fusion is developing an inertial fusion with a pulsed process. They fire physical projectiles at high speeds like 40 kilometers per second to generate fusion OR they may use high-power ...

British inertial fusion energy developer First Light Fusion and UK-based strategic consultancy Stonehaven have released a report outlining a roadmap for commercial fusion in the UK by 2035, which ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

On a quiet industrial estate in England, the silence is occasionally broken by the thump of a 72-foot-long gun. At the end of the barrel, a star is born. The Big Friendly Gun (BFG) is a prototype for ...

Two British firms have joined hands to accelerate innovation and enhance the commercial viability of fusion energy for the global market. First Light Fusion signed a deal with Frazer-Nash Consultancy ...

British inertial fusion energy developer First Light Fusion and systems, engineering and technology company Frazer-Nash Consultancy have announced plans for collaborative research to advance fusion ...

First Light Fusion presents first reactor-compatible path to "high gain" fusion, which would drastically reduce the cost of this limitless clean energy source. Gain (energy out divided by energy in – ...

Engineers in England have achieved nuclear fusion by firing a giant gun at a fuel sample. Researchers at First Light Fusion designed the method to be as simple as possible, and a viable alternative to ...

Fusion power is a means of deriving electrical power from the heat released during nuclear fusion reactions, and it's been a long-time dream to produce a working reactor. Fusion occurs when two light ...

First Light Fusion, a U.K.-based firm, is developing the Big Friendly Gun (BFG) prototype in an effort to produce nuclear fusion without the need for lasers and strong magnets. According to a Newsweek ...

Nature is a wonderful and bottomless source of inspiration for the inventors of our world, and there are so many technologies that have been created after studying creatures and natural processes that ...
