Photograph of a firework fountain at the UNT Homecoming bonfire. There are trails of lights and bursts of light above it. And there is smoke on the ground where it was launched from. The sparks are reflected in the pond in front of it.

This project’s mission was to achieve significant advances in the practical application of bulk high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials to energy-storage systems. The ultimate product was planned as an operational prototype of a flywheel system on an HTS suspension. While the final prototype flywheel did not complete the final offsite demonstration phase of the program, invaluable lessons learned were captured on the laboratory demonstration units that will lead to the successful deployment of a future HTS-stabilized, composite-flywheel energy-storage system (FESS).

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The United States is pursuing two paths to fusion energy--magnetic and inertial. On November 21, 2006, the United States signed an agreement with five countries and the European Union to build and operate the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in Cadarache, France, to demonstrate the feasibility of magnetic fusion energy. The United States also built and operates facilities to pursue inertial fusion energy research. This report discusses (1) U.S. contributions to ITER and the challenges, if any, in managing this international fusion program and (2) the Department of Energy's (DOE) management of alternative fusion research activities, including National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) initiatives. In performing this work, GAO analyzed budget documents, briefings, and reports that focused on research and funding priorities for the fusion program. GAO also met with officials from DOE, NNSA, and the ITER Organization in France."

We demonstrate propagation and small backscatter losses of a frequency-doubled (2{omega}) laser beam interacting with inertial confinement fusion hohlraum plasmas. The electron temperature of 3.3 keV, approximately a factor of two higher than achieved in previous experiments with open geometry targets, approaches plasma conditions of high-fusion yield hohlraums. In this new temperature regime, we measure 2{omega} laser beam transmission approaching 80% with simultaneous backscattering losses of less than 10%. These findings suggests that good laser coupling into fusion hohlraums using 2{omega} light is possible.

Photograph of a UNT professor and a Texas Park Ranger standing under Hedge Apple trees in the Greenbelt Corridor. They were leading a group of UNT students in the College of Engineering who were studying environmental and biological engineering. There are several Hedge Apples on the ground around the trees.

Photograph of the traditional Homecoming bonfire after it was lit. Students are gathered in a crowd around it and there are t-shirts from the opposing school strung on the structure.

Photograph of the giant pile of wooden pallets and materials built to make the Homecoming Bonfire pyre. There are t-shirts of other schools that UNT has played against and a large wooden sign that reads "North Texas; Built By: Talons; Mean Green" attached to the structure.
