What happened since 2010[edit]

It was planned to be complete by 2014. Are there technical or financial problems ? Have any of the proposed MgB2 coils been built and tested ? - Rod57 (talk) 09:45, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still only a planned device[edit]

Please let it be clear that IGNITOR doesn't yet exist (and maybe never will). If there is any evidence to the contrary, please cite it. --Geek3 (talk) 11:57, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SPARC (tokamak) a copy of IGNITOR?[edit]

Renato Spigler published this article in arXiv. I am not sure if it is a reliable source for this article, but Spigler appears to be in contact with Bruno Coppi. Spigler proposes in the article to build IGNITOR in Italy because of the strained relations with Russia. There is also a remark on SPARC (tokamak):

And why has ENI been participating in the Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) consortium since 2018, an MIT spin-off, with already 50 million euros paid, to build SPARC, a machine that is essentially an attempt to copy Ignitor, without even consulting the originator? All of this remains a mystery.

All in all, it appears that IGNITOR will never be build because a very similar reactor is already under construction. But is the article by Spigler alone enough to rewrite this Wikipedia article? --Kallichore (talk) 22:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
