Actor Harry Hamlin gives an entertaining TEDxLA talk on how he got involved with the development of nuclear fusion power and the formation of the company Tri Alpha Energy (see recent posting here):   ====

Miles O’Brien, science and technology reporter for the PBS NewsHour, made the following profile of the commercial fusion power company Tri Alpha Energy, which I have mentioned here a few times over the years. Here is the Transcript for “Is alluring but elusive fusion energy possible in our lifetime?” PBS NewsHour. There is also this BBC video … Continue reading Sci-Tech video: Miles O’Brien reports on Tri-Alpha Energy fusion power project →

Here is an interview with General Fusion CEO Nathan Gilliland about nuclear fusion power and General Fusion’s unique approach to  creating it: I thought it was particularly interesting that GF often interacts with other commercial fusion projects such as Tri-Alpha Energy. The TED talk in 2014 by GF’s founder Dr. Michel Laberge has certainly been quite popular: Physicist’s Fusion … Continue reading Sci-Tech: Interview with Nathan Gilliland, CEO of General Fusion →

Over the years I’ve posted a number of times about innovative fusion power projects that are underway in various places (e.g. see Tri-Alpha Energy, General Fusion, Lockheed Compact Fusion, EMC2 polywell, Helion Energy, and LPP focus fusion) each aims for a much smaller and practical power plant than the giant ITER tokomak and NIF laser inertial confinement projects that consume … Continue reading Sci-Tech: MIT SPARC project aims to build demo fusion power reactor with private funds →

Tri-Alpha Fusion, a spin-off from the plasma fusion program at the University of California at Irvine, has been working for more than 15 years on an innovative design for a nuclear fusion power system. The company has raised over $140M in investment from venture capital firms and notables such as Paul Allen. However, except for occasional science publications, it has … Continue reading Sci-tech: Tri-Alpha Fusion opens up →
