Re: The 1500t secondary myth (long)

Is there any way to get more juice from the power co. or dedicated generators? If I recall the experimental fusion reactor in Maryland (?) eats 30MW+, even tho they have to give the power company a heads up before they flip the switch. So how much power would it eat at the Zsec limit?

Hi Steve,

As it turns out, other factors limit ALF's size before the Zsec drops too far.
At present, the Zsec for the ALF is 38.8kOhm per tower [1186mH at 5200Hz.]
Site power is the principal limitation, at just under 8MW. Hopefully the energy
recovery scheme will provide some extra margin here.
