Fusion research, Dr. Darren Garnier
MODEL RELEASED. Darren Garnier (born 1968), American physicist. Dr Garnier is holding a magnetic levitator, which uses an electromagnet (upper centre) to keep a permanent magnet (centre) suspended. An infrared beam measures its position so that the strength of the electromagnet can be changed. The principal behind this device is being used to contain spherical plasmas in nuclear fusion experiments at Columbia University, USA. Nuclear fusion is the joining (fusing) of light elements to form heavier elements, which releases large amounts of energy. It is hoped that fusion will be a clean, renewable energy source

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Dr. Darren Garnier, an esteemed American physicist, holding a magnetic levitator with utmost precision and expertise. This cutting-edge device utilizes an electromagnet positioned at the upper center to suspend a permanent magnet in mid-air. The position of the magnet is measured by an infrared beam, allowing for adjustments to be made to the strength of the electromagnet. This remarkable technology finds its application in fusion research at Columbia University in the United States. Fusion experiments involve combining light elements to create heavier ones, resulting in the release of vast amounts of energy. With hopes set on fusion becoming a clean and renewable energy source for our future needs, scientists like Dr. Garnier are tirelessly working towards unlocking its potential. The intricate circuitry and advanced equipment showcased here represent just a fraction of the groundbreaking work being conducted at Columbia University's fusion research institute. Driven by their passion for pushing boundaries and advancing scientific knowledge, these brilliant minds strive to harness plasma containment using similar principles as demonstrated by this magnetic levitator. Dr. Darren Garnier's dedication and expertise make him an invaluable asset within this field of study. As he holds this mesmerizing piece of technology before us, we catch a glimpse into his world where science meets innovation on a daily basis.
