1950: Energy from fusion is only 20 years away.
1970: Fusion technology is only 20 years away.
1990: Break-even fusion is only 20 years away.
2010: Fusion power is very close, only 20 years away.
2020: Fusion can be optimized for energy production.
The time is now. For nearly three-quarters of a century nuclear fusion has been just outside of the grasp for use as an energy source. Every day we walk outside and see our sun, bright and warm, but yet we have no viable method to replicate the process on Earth to produce energy.

Unlike nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is the safe combination of atoms. It has the potential to produce energy without proliferation of weapons or fear of meltdown. Fusion might possibly be the ultimate safe and clean energy source.

Fusion itself is fairly easy, even young people at the high school level have built simple fusion reactors called fusors for science projects. Why then do we not have all our electricity produced from fusion? The problem is optimization. Although fusion is easy, it is not easy to get energy from it. In fact no one has ever come close to break-even, the point which you produce more energy than you use.
Horne Technologies is here to change that.

Nuclear Fusion for Green Energy Production on Earth and in Space
A hybrid approach and technology is being implemented to develop fusion technology for terrestrial and space energy applications. Fusion is the disruptive energy of the future.
Four core technologies are combined with state of the art high-temperature superconductors to improve the performance of the fusion device:
I) Inertial Electrostatic Heating (IEC)
II) Superconducting, Magnetically-Shielded Grid
III) High-Beta Capable Fusion Core
IV) Ion-ion and ion-neutral thermalization mitigation optimization
For 10 years Horne Technologies has been working on these fusion technologies to create optimized solutions for a viable fusion reactor for use in space and on Earth.
I) Inertial Electrostatic Fusion (IEC)
One of the only methods to utilize advanced fuels (such as aneutronic) in a fusion reactor is the method called inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC), a device which operates in a vacuum chamber. This is a very simple method of creating fusion, which was invented by the TV inventor Philo Farnsworth, to accelerate the fusion materials to the center by electrostatic attraction. If the materials you want to fuse are attracted to the center they accelerate to high energy and then collide in the center to produce fusion. This is the previously mentioned method that is simple enough for students to attempt for advanced science projects.

IEC 1) A center grid is negatively charged
IEC 3) Fusion fuel is attracted to the grid
IEC 3) Fuel passes through the grid
IEC 4) Fuel collides in the center and fuses
Unfortunately, the IEC method requires a grid to attract the ions and much of the fuel runs into the grid it is therefore not efficient enough to produce power. This is where the second technology comes in.
II) Superconducting, Magnetically - Shielded Grid
By using superconducting magnets as the IEC grid, you reduce the collisions of the accelerated fuel into the grid. This is accomplished due to the fact that the very strong magnetic field causes the charged ion fuel to be diverted around it as it is being attracted to the grid.
Another issue with the IEC is that many of the fuel ions that are accelerated into the IEC center actually miss each other and do not collide to fuse. If they miss, they loose energy by scattering off each other's electric field, this is known as coulomb scattering . If the super-hot, fast ions could be held in the same place for longer, they would have a higher chance of fusing. This is the third technology incorporated into the system.
III) High - Beta Fusion Core
An additional important advantage of the magnetically-shielded grid is it allows for a magnet configuration that is capable of a high-beta fusion core. This is a condition that occurs when you have strong magnetic field curvature where the plasma pushes back against the field. This causing a plugging effect to the leaks and creating an empty field region where the plasma is momentarily contained. This momentary containment increases the chance fusion will occur.
The grid creates a region where there is no magnetic field; plasma then pushes back on the field and creates a high-beta condition where it is momentarily contained.
IV) Ion-ion and ion-neutral thermalization mitigation optimization
In devices that have a region of high energy ions and an area outside which has lower energy ions and neutral atoms there is a large loss mechanism in which the hot ion fuel interacts with the cooler background material losing energy. This is a loss mechanism for many proposed fusion concepts devices.
Horne Technologies is using proprietary, advanced optimization concepts to overcome this loss mechanism. Optimizing parameters to reduce this loss mechanism greatly increases the chance of net energy in the third-generation device.
