An idea to inspire innovation in fusion energy: the Fusion Student Challenge

2 minute read

Published:

One of the most famous videos of Steve Jobs speaking at Stanford about his life, and his idea of connecting the dots just stuck in my mind. Inspired by his idea I did the same: To connect the dots of my life, and I came up with an idea that might be of interest and that is what I would like to share with you.

Visiting The PSI

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and explore their incredible Proton Therapy Center. PSI is a world leader in scientific research, and their proton therapy facility is at the forefront of cancer treatment. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which uses X-rays, proton therapy uses beams of protons – tiny charged particles – to target tumors with pinpoint accuracy. This minimizes damage to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor, leading to potentially fewer side effects for patients.

Experience in Superconductivity Practical Days at CERN

Hey everyone! Just got back from an incredible experience at CERN’s Superconductivity Practical Days, and let me tell you, it was mind-blowing! For those who don’t know, superconductivity is basically when a material turns into a superconductor – think zero electrical resistance and super strong magnetic fields. It’s what powers some pretty amazing things, from MRI machines to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s biggest and most powerful particle accelerator.

Optimization of parameters in material selection of tricone drill bit head design.

Published in IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018

The tricone drill bit head is one of the main components in petroleum perforation settings because it makes possible to break the soil to establish a flow path between the reservoir and the wellbore. For this reason.. it is a component that requires special analysis. This work investigates the optimization process of the parameters used in the material selection for a tricone drill bit. It includes the material selection for the bit body and the inserts. The stresses to which the drill is subjected during drilling are calculated and conditions to be fulfilled are established according to its function.

Validation of a Linear Motor for Hyperloop Applications using a 3-axis Static Test Bench.

Published in IEEE, 2021

In this paper.. a static test bench to characterize the performance of a linear motor designed for a hyperloop system is proposed. This bench allows a 3D movement of the traslator in order to take measurements on all the states that the system can reach. The results from the conducted test have demonstrated a low deviation between the experimental and simulated value of the forces.

Overview of IFMIF-DONES diagnostics: Requirements and techniques.

Published in Fusion Design, 2023

The IFMIF-DONES Facility is a unique first-class scientific infrastructure whose construction is foreseen in Granada.. Spain.. in the coming years. Strong integration efforts are being made at the current project phase aiming at harmonizing the ongoing design of the different and complex Systems of the facility. The consolidation of the Diagnostics and Instrumentation.. transversal across many of them.. is a key element of this purpose. A top-down strategy is proposed for a systematic Diagnostics Review and Requirement definition.. putting emphasis in the one-of-a-kind instruments necessary by the operational particularities of some of the Systems.. as well as to the harsh environment that they shall survive. In addition.. other transversal aspects such as the ones related to Safety and Machine Protection and their respective requirements shall be also considered. The goal is therefore to advance further and solidly in the respective designs.. identify problems in advance.. and steer the Diagnostics development and validation campaigns that will be required. The present work provides an overview of this integration strategy as well as a description of some of the most challenging Diagnostics and Instruments within the facility.. including several proposed techniques currently under study.
