Colliding Plasma Toroid Clean-Energy Breakthrough

EPS has discovered a new, high-density plasma toroid that remains stable in atmosphere with no need for external magnetic field confinement. MIT scientists have independently confirmed the plasma toroid discovery and have co-patented it. Based on early calculations, the company projects that this breakthrough neutron-tube technology has the potential to reduce the fuel input for energy generation compared to fossil-fuel power plants by a staggering twenty to one ratio. (Ref 1.) The cost savings will be significant, and could be even greater than 20:1 if the price of oil continues to rise, and as long as the alternate inputs continue to be available at competitive prices.


The transportation sector is the next major priority after home heating. The efficiency of an internal-combustion engine is limited by the amount of energy inherently contained in a given type of fuel, as well as by the practical limitations on the Carnot cycle to about 30% of the possible energy of 1.184 watt-hours (wh) per kilogram. A D/D pair of ESTs has about 2.0E10 wh/kg, or 2.6E6 times the energy of gasoline. By these calculations, then, one kg of EST Spheromak fuel may provide usable energy equivalent in output to 2,600,000 kgs of gasoline. (Ref. 15) Expected to be comparable to the prices of traditional internal-combustion cars, the initial cost of the C-E Tube vehicle is similarly expected to be made up quickly in dramatic fuel savings. Again using current prices, the average fuel cost of $2000 per year would drop to only about $100 per year when replacing gasoline with boron and hydrogen as fuel.
