Everything about The Levitated Dipole Experiment totally explained
The
Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) is a project devoted to researching a
nuclear fusion configuration which utilizes a floating
superconducting torus to provide an
axisymmetric magnetic field which is used to contain
plasma. It is a collaboration between
Columbia University's Department of Applied Physics and the
MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and is funded by the
Department of Energy's Office of Fusion Energy.
Unlike other types of
magnetically confined fusion, the
Levitated Dipole is designed to be robust to external fluctuations in electric/magnetic fields. In most laboratory plasmas, small fluctuations can cause significant energy loss, however in a dipolar magnetic field, fluctations tend to actually compress the plasma without energy loss.
This effect was first noticed by Akira Hasegawa after participating in the
Voyager 2 encounter with Uranus.
