ENG8, a fusion energy company based in Gibraltar, has claimed to have
consistently obtained a five-time energy gain from its experiments. The
company's claims were validated at the Culham Innovation Centre in
Oxfordshire, one of the leading fusion centers under the UK Atomic Energy
Authority, the company press release said.

Nuclear fusion offers a non-polluting and less risky method to meet the
world's energy demands. While the process has been ongoing on the Sun for
billions of years, humanity is still trying to perfect how it can replicated
on Earth.

Research in the area has focused on using magnets and lasers to create
plasma where nuclei of smaller atoms can be fused to create energy. However,
energy gain has not been achieved through these approaches so far. This
means that the energy spent to create fusion energy is much higher than the
energy generated. Therefore, a claim that energy output is five times more
than that put in is a major milestone that energy companies around the globe
would be interested in.

Fusion developer hits world-first independently verified generation
milestone
by Jane Maher in ENG8 News
on October 27, 2023

Fusion energy specialist, ENG8, has demonstrated an electrical energy output
five times greater than the energy used in this ground-breaking, independent
validation at Culham Innovation Centre in Oxfordshire, one of the top five
leading fusion centres in the world, and home to the UK’s Atomic Energy
Authority.

During each of the three tests, lasting approximately 10 minutes each,
ENG8’s ‘EnergiCell’ consistently scored an electrical energy output of five
– one unit of electrical energy in, and five units of electrical energy,
created by fusion, coming out.

The testing was conducted by Underwriters Laboratories, the largest
independent US certification agency.

Alan Smith, CEO/Sec. International Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear
Science (ISCMNS), said: “I visited Culham Innovation Centre to observe three
test runs. All three concluded with higher temperatures in the output side
calorimeter than on the input side, so it is clear that comparative
thermometry indicates an energy gain. This new work is supported by many
previous studies going back decades.

“Most encouragingly, a representative of Underwriters Laboratories also
attended and said that their tests of the device indicated a COP (Q) of five
plus the possibility to improve that figure even further.”

This is sufficient to enable the EnergiCell-powered power plants to be
self-powering in 2024 and capable of commercial sales of emission-free
energy. Still to be determined by manufacturing and distribution costs,
ENG8’s EnergiCells are on track to provide a low-cost and secure source of
energy for both domestic and commercial users.

Valeria Tyutina, CEO at ENG8, said: “The results are quite brilliant, the
stability of the fusion reaction was incredible, and this development can
make the biggest difference to climate change of any other technology on
earth. It changes everything – faster than you think.”

hi there I'm Nick dick I'm director of
0:02
investor relations at NJ today again we
0:07
are at colum Science Park home to the UK
0:11
atomic energy agency and today we're
0:14
getting the electricity to electricity
0:18
energy cell tested by Underwriters
0:20
Laboratories and I've just heard that
0:22
it's done a q value of plus five on or
0:25
around that for the last 10 minutes
0:27
that's a complete Game Changer yeah my
0:31
company UL is the uh the the largest
0:35
company in the United States dedicated
0:37
to the certification uh uh process all
0:41
the measurements was uh appropriate and
0:45
uh the results is uh is uh quite
0:49
brilliant for sure is is is five but I
0:52
think can be can be more than five Q
0:56
value of five one unit energy in to get
1:00
things going and five units of energy
1:05
liberated by a fusion process and the
1:07
stability of that Fusion was just
1:09
remarkable um to watch it happen I'm an
1:12
engineer so I look at things from an
1:14
engineering point of view um I I think
1:17
this could make the biggest difference
1:18
the climate change of any other
1:20
technology on the face of the Earth this
1:23
changes everything really um but it
1:26
changes things in other ways that you
1:29
might
1:31
expect which I'm coming to terms with
1:34
now it will effectively democratize
1:37
energy throughout the world the the
1:40
ability to produce energy in a
1:43
standalone fashion it affect so many
1:47
things energy cell as well as
1:51
providing non
1:54
interrupted baseload power constant
1:58
power it's also a hugely decentralized
2:01
solution my sense is that this is
2:04
another Frontiers land technology where
2:07
some people dismiss it because they
2:08
don't understand the mechanism but the
2:11
proof is there you know we saw it today
2:13
now this decentralization is really
2:16
really important because the grid has
2:19
lots of bottlenecks in it and we need to
2:22
spend
2:24
billions uh adding new 500 KV 1,000 KV
2:29
uh line
2:30
to get renewable
2:32
energy down from where it's generated to
2:36
where it's needed things like electrical
2:38
vehicle Chargers you can't connect them
2:40
to the grid so in this country there's
2:43
enormous problems because you can't
2:45
charge your cars and as you know this is
2:48
leading to some mad situations where
2:51
wind farms are turned off or
2:53
curtailed uh as they say in the industry
2:57
because either it's going to fry the
2:59
grid and they they can't get it through
3:01
the system so people are coming up with
3:02
all sorts of crazy Solutions like diesel
3:05
generators to charge your electric
3:08
car you're talking about an exponential
3:12
growth to decentralized for every home
3:14
every car everyone will have this and it
3:17
will happen a lot faster than we think
3:19
you can have one on the back of your
3:21
house provides all of your electricity
3:24
and heat because once it started it
3:27
never has to stop as far as I'm
3:28
concerned it exceeded my expectations
3:31
the unit was able to run seamlessly and
3:34
uh yeah we got to see it in action which
3:36
was you know more than I I could have
3:39
could have hoped for it's very very
3:40
exciting because this technology
3:42
certainly even today the results they're
3:44
seeing um had just never been done
3:47
before ever anywhere in the world the
3:49
impact that Fusion could have on a
3:51
global scale there's so many people
3:53
without electricity I'm a
3:56
biotechnologist um chemical engineer and
3:59
uh General technology Scout at the
4:01
moment working for companies in the UK
4:04
and the Middle East to bring um the best
4:08
decarbonization Technologies to Market
4:10
as quickly as possible very impressive
4:12
it's a fantastic team um incredible so
4:15
many man Decades of absolutely top level
4:18
experience part of my role hopefully
4:21
will be to help scale that up and
4:22
commercialize it as quickly as possible
4:25
um into different applications
4:27
industrial applications and for other
4:29
consumer applications and this could be
4:32
you know the Holy Grail to help solve
4:34
that I was one of the early investors
4:36
into the into the technology and I've
4:38
seen it go from early birth into what I
4:41
would call a Quantum leap for mankind I
4:44
think we could have an intermediate
4:46
product um shippable within 12 to 18
4:49
months I'm backing this with uh with you
4:52
know my time and my effort and and money
4:55
because I think it's the right thing to
4:56
do the um fossil fuel industry is has
4:59
been there for us for 300 years it's
5:02
enabled the Industrial Revolution our
5:04
society wouldn't exist as it does now
5:06
without it but you know we're coming to
5:08
the end of when that's viable um and
5:10
this is a transition in human society um
5:14
it's been a long time coming but I think
5:16
everybody's ready for it and without any
5:18
doubt now we we know that we're in the
5:20
fast lane I'm hoping to see my
5:22
investment take off big time so and I
5:24
want to be part of it too we are going
5:27
on a road show in um December early
5:31
January um specifically to America and
5:33
to other countries as well to promote um
5:36
our business and to raise additional
5:39
Finance from institutional investors
5:41
here we've got Commonwealth Fusion
5:43
systems Commonwealth Fusion specializes
5:45
in hot Fusion company's worth uh $7
5:49
billion uh or Circa $7 billion $7
5:52
billion in change I heard somebody was
5:54
talking about a billion at a rather High
5:57
valuation um well you have to look at
6:00
the market because in um in a technology
6:04
sector we are working in um the only way
6:07
is to use current comparatives and um uh
6:11
there are many companies which are valed
6:13
over a billion which work in this sector
6:16
and they have not yet achieved the
6:19
results we managed to
6:25
achieve

Janesville, Wisconsin-based nuclear fusion company SHINE Technologies has
obtained visible proof of its reaction at work, visible radiation produced
as a byproduct, a press release stated. The company claims this is the first
instance when this has been achieved for nuclear fusion.

With the world looking for cleaner ways to meet its energy demands, nuclear
power is gaining favor once again as a low-carbon source of energy.
Companies are also focused on harnessing energy from nuclear fusion instead,
which does not raise concerns about nuclear waste.

Challenges for nuclear fusion are still aplenty as researchers look for ways
to contain the plasma used for generating energy as well as obtaining higher
yields than the energy put into the fusion reaction. SHINE has adopted a
multi-disciplinary approach to nuclear fusion as it looks to apply the
technology in industrial and medical applications on its way to tackling the
problem of generating energy.
