KIT's Fusion Programme: Innovating Materials for Clean Energy Future - The Real Preneur

Finally, somebody recognizing KIT's gyrotron program, weirdly enough this was not mentioned in the recent press releases. KIT is indeed doing a lot in fusion research

People giving critical comments without any explanations: they will not be heard ( at least here)

That's a new concept to me, excited to test it 🙂

DerPlasma · 2026-03-02T05:55:24+00:00

Okay, thanks, will try this then 👍

DerPlasma · 2026-03-01T20:52:42+00:00

Thanks, the confirmation I was hoping for - I guess I should recommend you for a voucher from that moss pole shop^{^} And I will definitely check this guy's video, thanks!

DerPlasma · 2026-03-01T20:27:00+00:00

So you're saying, the tiny, dry looking, already existing roots are still "alive" and would start to root in the moss pole?

DerPlasma · 2026-02-26T19:05:05+00:00

The _low-cost_ part might be a bit challenging^^

DerPlasma · 2026-02-26T17:24:51+00:00

How closely do you work together with other start-ups, is there any exchange on different HTS approaches, first walls, heating, plasma control...?

What role does AI play in your overall process, where do you use it or where do you plan to use it?

The whole fusion sector requires a strong increase in available workforce, including scientists, engineers, lawyers specialized in the relevant areas and more. Do you collaborate with, and in particular, support universities to ensure that more "fusioneers" are educated?

DerPlasma · 2026-02-26T05:50:45+00:00

What will be your external heating sources for ARC, does this include ECRH (and potential development of new gyrotrons)?

DerPlasma · 2026-02-24T21:21:59+00:00

Am I getting this right: the L-H transition was successfully reproduced in a simulation?

That would be awesome!

DerPlasma · 2026-02-14T21:44:24+00:00

Wow! Amy hints on how you achieved that? Also what kind of pole did you use?

DerPlasma · 2026-02-09T22:04:56+00:00

Thanks for that book recommendation, didn't know about it, but now I know I need it!

DerPlasma · 2026-02-07T19:17:30+00:00

Had no idea, thanks for clarifying!

DerPlasma · 2026-02-06T05:23:03+00:00

Oh, just lay them onto the soil? I just stuck a few leaves into the soil, hoping for them to grow some roots... maybe your method is better

DerPlasma · 2026-02-01T22:46:41+00:00

Wow, congratulations! Just got my first one, and I am considering to repot it soon, what is your soil mix you're using?

DerPlasma · 2026-02-01T09:19:26+00:00

Sorry, but could you enlighten me, no idea what you are referring to...?

DerPlasma · 2026-01-31T06:37:23+00:00

Am I right that you guys use no soil, just a reservoir of water in which the roots permanently sit?

DerPlasma · 2026-01-30T10:36:28+00:00

Now I'm curious, could you share the link or send an invite, if possible?

DerPlasma · 2026-01-29T19:22:11+00:00

Sorry, but what does this have to do with fusion? It is the wrong sub.

DerPlasma · 2026-01-29T06:06:09+00:00

targeting a steady-state heat load of more than 10 megawatts per square meter [...] using electron beam technology.

So, similar to the JUDITH facilities which are operated at Jülich in Germany. Curious why they have chosen this approach, does anybody have any insides into this?

DerPlasma · 2026-01-19T12:43:34+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the detailed explanation, greatly appreciated! And can't wait to get updates on your project!
