“Now fusion has a chance,” Hitachi America Professor of Engineering Dennis Whyte says in a release from MIT this week after a collection of papers from MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) was published describing the successful testing and data collection from a magnet (pictured) made from high-temperature superconducting material that achieved a world-record magnetic field strength of 20 tesla for a large-scale magnet. “That’s the intensity needed to build a fusion power plant that is expected to produce a net output of power and potentially usher in an era of virtually limitless power production,” MIT stated. The analysis shows that plans for a new generation of fusion devices — the one designed by MIT and MIT spinout company Commonwealth Fusion Systems, as well as similar designs by other commercial fusion companies — “are built on a solid foundation in science.” Prof. Whyte, who recently stepped down as director of the PSFC, said the testing was “the most important thing, in my opinion, in the last 30 years of fusion research.”
Business Alabama’s annual awards luncheon last week recognized Montgomery Water Park as Project of the Year. The 120-acre attraction, which opened last July, “simulates a natural river with class II-IV rapids to accommodate beginners, seasoned whitewater enthusiasts or professional athletes for a variety of whitewater activities including rafting, kayaking and stand-up paddle-boarding,” says a release from the park and Montgomery County. Developed and operated by Southern Whitewater Design Group for the Montgomery County Community Cooperative Group, the park was “conceived and developed as a large-scale public-private investment to catalyze economic growth and provide health-focused recreation and employment opportunities.”
