I know it sounds crazy, but the key to sustainable fusion is in space inside O Neil Cylinders. The main preface for that is you can use HUGE Flywheels as large as the Cylinder itself that are as as efficient as any solid state Capacitor, and you can use their size and speed to provide the necessary energy to keep that much energy coming into the system to sustain it. To have fusion go for that long and be sustainable, it’s almost like your fusion plant has to be the size of a coffee cup, and you have to have Niagara Falls behind it (your Solar Cells and multiple flywheels that are as big as a torus station themselves) Once you have that much energy behind it , you can have laser fusion, with either a sphere or cylinder itself that rotates to have about 30 or 50,000 feet of water to get heated. - that will essentially act as a Dyson sphere, but Significantly Smaller with Solar cells and hot water at the surface (either in pipes or geysers- one or the other) With that Dyson sphere or cylinder rotating, you can have the water and air stick to the walls and convection can work as normal. - with laser fusion in that way, you can have plasma, then you can have superheated air, then superheated water, and then you can go outward because you have that much space. It’s all about scale, and you need a cylinder That big in order to do it. My Name is Michael Skinner, and it’s the only way you can have sustainable fusion that’s efficient enough - Do what you want to do on the big scale, just smaller scale.
Very few comments on this exceptional presentation. This should be watched at least once by the RUclipsrs expressing endless pessimism and negativity re: fusion.
Fusion is getting hot hot hot. The research is finally heating up and the competition is getting to where it needs to be. Dumbing it down doesn't help anyone. You aren't playing with fire when you're playing with nuclear fire. Completely different animals. Stop assuming people can relate. Bring them up, don't talk to their level. Do it eloquently. Don't demean them.
ruclips.net/video/Al3JZyCnT5I/видео.html "When we turned this [magnet] on, it consumed 25 watts." 25 watts at what field strength? Is that the full 20 tesla?
Yup, pretty sure it is. The cooling still takes a few MW, the only number I've heard for magnet cooling is 10 MW, while Tokamak Energy is said to have developed tech to cut that in half
The introduction should be short and be an actual introduction for an online presentation. The introducer took far too long, was boring and monotone, did not impart much interesting information if any, and spent more of her time name dropping and gossiping than she spent introducing. If you want your online presence to be respected you must be respectful to the audience and to their time
The most important lecture of this year. Super exciting and amazing stuff.
I love this presentation. I've forwarded it to a number of people who have asked me about fusion. Well done Dennis!
