Flexural-tensegrity snapping tails for bio-inspired propulsion in fluids

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Claudio Boni

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...

Superconductors for fusion: a roadmap

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Rainer Wesche

With the first tokamak designed for full nuclear operation now well into final assembly (ITER), and a major new research tokamak starting commissioning (JT60SA), nuclear fusion is becoming a mainstream potential energy source for the future. A critical par ...

Neutronics Analyses of EU DEMO 2020 EC Port Configuration

René Chavan

The DEMOnstration fusion power plant (DEMO) is being developed within EUROfusion and one of the challenges is the integration of all the systems into a fusion reactor by designs that meet strict design criteria required for safe and reliable long-term reac ...

The EQL0D fuel cycle procedure and its application to the transition to equilibrium of selected molten salt reactor designs

Andreas Pautz, Jiri Krepel, Boris Aviv Hombourger

In recent years, Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs), one of the Generation IV concepts, have noticeably gained in interest. Several molten salt reactor types use fuel in liquid form, bringing various advantages, notably in terms of fuel cycle. However, simulating ...

Design concept and thermal-structural analysis of a high power reflective mm-wave optical mirror (M2) for the ITER ECH-UL

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

Each of the 4 ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launcher (ECHUL) features 8 transmission lines used to inject microwave power of up to 1.31 MW per line (at the FCS diamond window), into the plasma at a frequency of 170 GHz. The millimetre waves are gui ...

Diamond Window Technology for Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive: State of the Art

Konstantinos Avramidis

Nuclear fusion power plants require electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (H&CD) systems for plasma heating and stabilization. High-power microwave beams between 1 and 2?MW generated by gyrotrons propagate in a dedicated waveguide transmission ...

Energy and Exergy Analysis of a Cruise Ship

Tuong-Van Nguyen, Francesco Baldi, Karin Andersson

In recent years, the International Maritime Organization agreed on aiming to reduce shipping’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50% with respect to 2009 levels. Meanwhile, cruise ship tourism is growing at a fast pace, making the challenge of achieving this goa ...

Probing strongly hybridized nuclear-electronic states in a model quantum ferromagnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Giovanni Boero, Peter Babkevich, Julian Piatek, Ivan Kovacevic

We present direct local-probe evidence for strongly hybridized nuclear-electronic spin states of an Ising ferromagnet LiHoF4 in a transverse magnetic field. The nuclear-electronic states are addressed via a magnetic resonance in the GHz frequency range usi ...
