Our goal is to solve the fusion energy problem by using the Levitated Magnetic Dipole (LMD). LMD consists of a circular superconductor carries a strong current. It generates a strong magnetic field, that can confine plasma. In essence it is a very strong magnet – an electromagnet.

The confined plasma, which is the fuel for fusion, surrounds the superconductor completely. Therefore, we want to avoid using supports. Instead, we lift (or levitate) the superconductor with a fixed ordinary magnet, like a Maglev train.

LMD has been shown to be viable solution for fusion energy in several lab experiments and it has a unique potential as an energy source. It is considered to be:

• The fastest, most robust and cheapest approach to practical and affordable fusion energy.
• The optimal way to confine plasma. The plasma is inherently stable.
• Ideal for D-D fusion, a fusion process with unlimited global supplies of fuel and very low
  radioactivity.

The experiments also showed that essentially three challenges remained to finalize the concept. Two of these are today in principle solved and in the public domain.

And the last one has now been solved by Orial Onnovation. The patent pending technology will let us finalize the LMD concept and develop a solution that will offer limitless, practical and affordable energy to the world.

Energy is the driver behind nearly all aspects of modern societies. It is used for production, transportation, heating, entertainment and more. The need is ubiquitous. The demand is ever growing. At the same time there is a growing awareness that energy should be safe, clean, sustainable, and on-demand.

If we succeed with fusion, we would have the ultimate energy source. It would be safe, reliable, clean, sustainable, on-demand, and limitless. In fact, the fuel that is used for fusion is available in the oceans and the supply is enough to meet the world’s current energy consumption for 2 billion years.

If it was also made affordable and readily available it would have a huge positive impact on our societies worldwide, significantly improving standard of living, help battling climate change, and potentially making all other energy sources redundant.

The atom is one of the smallest building blocks of nature. It consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Hydrogen is the simplest atom. It has only one electron around the nucleus. If you heat Hydrogen gas sufficiently, the atoms in it will split into free electrons and atomic nuclei, a state known as plasma. Plasma can be confined by magnetic fields, but it cannot be contained with ordinary vessels. It is too hot.

When two such atomic nuclei in the plasma collide and merge into one, vast amounts of energy is released and this is nuclear fusion. It also happens in Hydrogen bomb. We want a slow working Hydrogen bomb. It has proven to be very difficult to make nuclear fusion a working energy source.
