Yes, as the saying always goes, “fusion is only ten years away”! It’s like saying, “free beer tomorrow.” Tomorrow never comes. The problem is that the energy input require for the ultra high magnetic fields to,contain the plasma, and the energy required to produce the plasma (lasers, high energy gun, particle accelerators, etc) is far greater than the energy released by the almost vacuum plasmas at this point. Commercial fusion is very far from becoming reality if ever at all.
ITER is being built, and STEP is being designed, specifically to have a Q value greater than 1 ('efficiency') JET reached a Q value of 0.7, and it was small, and old. It wasn't built for reaching q=1, it was built as a proof of concept. China has been breaking a few records in tokamak fusion, in confinement,and conductors When ITER is tested fully, then we'll see if Q>1 is workable
@@hareecionelson5875 Having a Q value > 1 is a first step, but at this point the power produced in all of these “successful” experiments is very small in the milliwatt or micro watt regime. This is a far cry from the kilowatt or megawatt capacity sustained continuously that a commercial fusion power plant would need to produce. In the Chinese experiment I wonder what caused the “reaction” to stop? Probably an instability in the magnetic containment.
After being briefed on Fusion by a Nuclear Physics Professor over 60 years ago, this is the biggest breakthrough. Don't hold your breath until the use is stabilized.
I solved your problem like 4 years ago: Solar-Driven Electromagnetic Grid System Step 1: Solar Energy Collection Sunlight is collected and focused using a funnel-shaped skyscraper lined with angled mirrors. Mirrors reflect and direct sunlight downward in a controlled manner, concentrating the energy into a focal point. Water flows through the structure, serving two functions: Cooling the mirrors to prevent overheating. Guiding the light downward using internal reflection and refraction, behaving like a liquid optical fiber. Step 2: Heating the Liquid Iron-Nickel Core The concentrated light energy is directed at a chamber filled with molten iron and nickel at the base of the skyscraper. The temperature inside the chamber exceeds 1,500°C, maintaining the metals in a liquid state. The liquid metal begins to move, driven by: Thermal convection - Hot metal rises while cooler metal sinks. Rotational forces - Simulating Earth's core rotation. Electromagnetic induction - External magnetic fields influence the flow. Step 3: Generating the Electromagnetic Field The movement of molten iron and nickel generates electric currents, similar to Earth's geodynamo effect. This motion induces a localized magnetic field inside the skyscraper. The generated electromagnetic field is now ready for transfer or amplification. Step 4: Directing the Electromagnetic Energy Tunnels and conductive pathways guide the generated electromagnetic current to other structures. Energy transfer occurs through: Downward-flowing liquid metal - Using gravity to direct electromagnetic energy. Metal rods or conductive wires - Acting as magnetic waveguides. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) principles - Utilizing charged liquid metal flow for energy efficiency. Step 5: Creating a Circular Electromagnetic Grid Multiple skyscraper-funnel structures are connected, forming a closed-loop electromagnetic network. The fields interact and reinforce one another, forming a continuous ring of electromagnetic energy. The system self-sustains as energy circulates in a loop, keeping the liquid metal in motion. Step 6: Stabilizing & Maintaining the Energy Flow The flow of molten metal and induced currents maintains a stable magnetic structure. Excess energy is distributed throughout the system to prevent overload. This creates a balanced and self-regenerating electromagnetic field. Step 7: Extracting Usable Electrical Energy Electromagnetic energy is converted into electricity using one of the following methods: Inductive Coils - Conductive coils (e.g., copper) are placed around the moving metal to extract electric current (Faraday’s Law of Induction). Conductive Rods & Tunnels - Charged particles in liquid metal flow through metallic rods or pathways, generating direct current (DC). Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Energy Extraction - Electrodes inside tunnels extract charge and send it to the power grid. Step 8: Energy Transmission to the Grid Once electricity is extracted, it must be efficiently transferred to the power grid. Two main transmission methods: Direct Current (DC) Transmission - Efficient for long-distance power transfer (e.g., high-voltage power lines). Alternating Current (AC) Conversion - Used for local distribution, making it easier to step up/down voltages. Step 9: Power Grid Integration Electricity is routed to substations, where it is: Stepped up (high voltage) for transmission across long distances. Stepped down (low voltage) for use in homes, businesses, and industries. This allows the solar-driven electromagnetic grid to power entire cities or regions. Step 10: Sustainable Energy Loop The system is self-regenerating due to: The continuous flow of molten metal. The closed-loop electromagnetic interactions. The constant influx of solar energy. This creates a perpetual energy generation system, requiring minimal external input. Final Summary: How Energy Flows Through the System Sunlight is collected and concentrated → Water guides and cools the light while focusing energy downward → Light heats molten iron & nickel, keeping it in motion → Molten metal generates electric currents and an electromagnetic field → Tunnels & conductive pathways direct energy into a connected grid → The system forms a self-sustaining loop of electromagnetic energy → Electricity is extracted using inductive coils, conductive rods, or MHD methods → Energy is transmitted as DC or converted to AC for local power distribution → Electricity is integrated into the grid, powering cities and industries → The system sustains itself indefinitely through continuous energy cycling.

The same was said 30 years ago about people who said we would be able to have a face to face conversation with someone on the other side of the world. Monkeys aren't known for their patience.
@@Crawdaddy_Ro well, the technology that enabled television, satellites, cell phones and the internet were less challenging by far than what is required to produce a sustainable fusion reactor that reliably provides ample power. The progression from the vacuum tubes of the 1920’s to the first transistors in the late 1940’s to the first integrated circuits of the early 1950’s only took about 50 odd years. Believe it or not, based on Einstein’s energy;mass equivalency relation E = mc^2, people like Eddington , Gamow, Russel, Atkinson and others began to workout the requirements for nuclear fusion in the 1920’s and the design for a toroidal magnetic “bottle” to contain a hot fusion plasma was first proposed in 1946. It is remarkable that fusion research and the electronics that went from tubes to IC’s follow a similar time line. Yet producing contained, sustained fusion is still in it’s infancy with many competing techniques still unable to make a break through let alone break even. This attests to the difficulties and the very real problems that sustained fusion presents. It is not a trial problem that may take much longer to crack than most think.
@@Crawdaddy_Ro There are differences though. Already far more than 30 years ago, people said that fusion reactors would be at commercial break-even in just a few years. Since the build of the Perhapsatron, not much progress has been made in this direction. Monkeys aren't known for their scientific understanding, either.
@@Nonononono_Ohno Another concept that trips up monkeys like you and I is the idea of "exponential incrementation." If you're wondering what that has to do with our conversation, then you've missed the crux of technological progress.
The problem with this is, while it’s a unique concept, it conflicts with our current economic system. This is why the next question is always, “okay how do we monetize it?” This is why it will take generations and a completely new mindset to leverage true “freedom and abundance.”
@@elmolewis9123 Exactly, people go on about "free energy" systems that are denied to us with the inventors allegedly disappearing or whatever. All energy sources are ultimately free to start with, whether it be fossil fuel dug up from the ground or the potential energy harvested by hydroelectric power stations or the energy in wind blowing, corporations build the systems that are used to harvest and distribute energy and they charge us for that energy, or alternatively you can buy devices that harvest and store energy like solar panels, no matter what new source of energy is discovered a corporation will jump in and start building whatever device we need to harvest and store that energy and will sell us those devices, like solar panels and small scale home wind power systems. If you have the ability to build some device that harvests and stores energy from some new source nobody will stop you building and using it, build a mini hydro generation system of you have a place that's suitable, drill some pipes down into a hydrothermal source of heat if it's feasible where you live, put up a windmill and use batteries to store the energy, nobody is stopping you.
of course the end goal has always been to get a sustained fusion reaction after initial startup energy but how are they going to maintain it, control it and harvest it as fast as needed to prevent meltdown?
40 years ago I worked at a company -planning to mine Helium 3 on the moon. Wonder how it's going now? We had magnrtic refrigerators and were designing mining robots back in the 1980's.
How about including facts related to how the plasma stream wventually collapses. What are the factors that cause that? Was there actually an energy gain from this event? Or was the energy required to invitaste and sustain it greater?
Of course there wasn’t any net energy gain. It was just a plasma confinement experiment, no actual amount of fuel necessary to produce continuous fusion as used. You want to know what causes the plasma confinement to break down? Not being good enough at plasma confinement. Just the same as we have to practice a musical instrument to become proficient at okaying it, so too does the ai have to learn and practice at confining plasmas for long periods of time.
Since its completion in 2006, the EAST unit has operated more than 150,000 plasma operations, and through the open and shared institutional management model, it continues to maintain the international leadership in the engineering and physics of steady-state plasma operation. In terms of long-pulse high-confinement mode operation, it has crossed major milestones such as 60 seconds, 100 seconds, 400 seconds, and has always broken through itself, challenged the limit, and impacted the long-pulse high-confinement mode plasma operation with higher parameters. In 2012, a 30-second high-constraint mode was realized, in 2016, a 60-second high-constraint mode was realized, a 101-second high-constraint mode was realized in 2017, a 403-second high-constraint mode was realized in 2023, and a 1066-second high-constraint mode was realized in 2024.

Many European countries are now regularly running at well over 50% of their energy demand coming from ‘free’ renewable sources and the pace of transition is increasing year on year. Similarly in China and elsewhere there is a rapid expansion of solar, wind and other renewable sources. It is conceivable that soon the cost of both fission and fusion energy may become comparatively inhibitive given the free availability of cheaper and easily maintained sources. The problems of containing/disposing of radioactive materials will have to be surmounted - Fusion reactors generate neutrons that render containment vessels radioactive
I'm curious about the neutron utilization in fusion reactors - specifically, can these neutrons be used to breed fusion fuel by transmuting hydrogen into deuterium and tritium? While deuterium is actually fairly abundant in seawater (about 1 in 6,420 hydrogen atoms), tritium is indeed extremely rare in nature and needs to be produced artificially. What happens to the neutrons produced during fusion reactions, and what safety measures are in place to handle neutron radiation?

Do you know that the first controlled, sustained flight of an engine-powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903 flew only four miles.
In movie like Spider-Man 2 where this sun like energy may actually become unstable or self tanging out of control could be reality true. Is there an emergency shutdown to prevent such casualties, or is it not what the thumbnail how it will actually look like?
The only difference I can detect between fusion energy generation and fission energy generation is that fission produces radioactive materials. Fission (that is, nuclear) reactors are expensive to build and surely so will fusion reactors be expensive to build. I cannot see how fusion can be the Holy Grail of cheap energy production.
Tocamac solenoid and plasma only work in low gravity and near cooling source for steam turbines. Canadas sapphire electric hydrogen sun is the high gravity fusion method that is practical. Scrap everything else. Hard to maintain plasma critical mass and control temperature. Hydro still 6X more power than fission reactors, so maybe stick with hydro and wind?
Fusion reactors and their benefits for a power-hungry world sound like a dream come true. So did fision reactors when they came on line right up until one went critical then 💥 boom . What will happen when a fusion reactor goes critical ☠️
No heating pump system tones in our appartments than it is clear to reimagine whole industries maybe even together so America can always also work with China too

Cauz if this ozone layer would have closed itself again anyway already what was the research about the climate and universe we really gotta analyse better again once more what was the problem see the problem database we need it
It appears that China, a latecomer to the table of advanced technology, is achieving goals the rest of the world has been striving for for decades. Go, China.
This development may be limited on commervial use by the cost and operating precision stability of lasing..heat containing materials..superconductor design and cist of energy as supplied.While the effort of Chinese scientists is commendable in labs..they should bring it to usable level out of lab conditions🙏

That's probably why this is news. The NIF one definitely created more energy than used. But I was told the energy is about the amount a human gets from eating a Snickers bar. Which makes you realize just how amazing our bodies are with energy. Nice to see progress moving forward.
NIF in it's current form is NEVER going to be practical, sure, they have got their little gold Hohlraum that holds the frozen fuel pellet sorted out, and made good fusion with it, but, the laser bank that is used to power it ? holy mother f'er, is that thing a dinosaur, it is so crazy powerful , so crazy big, that it LITTERALLY fries itself when operating. The laser is building sized, multi compartment with equipment that is just absurdly expensive and fragile, the beam is so powerful it "crazes" the glass optics and amplifiers, I doubt NIF is going to be able to stay operational for much longer, since TOKAMACS really are the "go to" way to make fusion work, EAST current progress is really great, to hold a fusion sustaining for 17 minutes proves that they are past the big hurdles, in the past, the big issue really has been squeezing and holding that plasma without it sneaking past the field and BANG ! imagine a plasma at over 100 million degrees Celsius coming into contact with ANYTHING physical, that's a bad day for that material plus it also quenches the process, a major no no.Recently, newer super conductors (REBCO) have come to the rescue and enabled finally the kinds of magnetic field strength that is ultimate essential for sustained, stable, fusion. The great thing about tis new superconductor, is that it is high temperature, by that I mean liquid nitrogen and that is perfectly doable and practical plus it is very easy to make and work with, and more importantly, it can handle MASSIVE current without crapping out. It is in fact so good, that it has enabled lots of smaller startups to attempt much smaller scale TOKAMACS, but suffice to say, with size you get more room to play with field density and probably will be easier to actually implement. Fusion will change the planet for sure, but it will also mean a new type of space propulsion system too. All this is definitely coming, but to say that we need to stop oil right now is just absurd, it is needed more now than ever, it will enable the wealth to move the slow transition to other energy types, plus the multitude of other essential uses of oil, anyone who says end oil just has no clue what they are talking about.
That’s what you deduced from Musk said? Honestly, I’d love to see we do that with that few but it’s not possible. We do not have enough storage for the night, nor do we have the technology that advanced for a solar panel.
Humans need to invest greatly in a fully operational quantum computer. It would greatly assist in the completion of a fully operational fusion reactor. It would also answer so many questions that the science world has tried to answer. Quantum encryption is also possible with this. You all have a great day.

I solved your problem like 4 years ago: Solar-Driven Electromagnetic Grid System
Step 1: Solar Energy Collection
Sunlight is collected and focused using a funnel-shaped skyscraper lined with angled mirrors.
Mirrors reflect and direct sunlight downward in a controlled manner, concentrating the energy into a focal point.
Water flows through the structure, serving two functions:
Cooling the mirrors to prevent overheating.
Guiding the light downward using internal reflection and refraction, behaving like a liquid optical fiber.
Step 2: Heating the Liquid Iron-Nickel Core
The concentrated light energy is directed at a chamber filled with molten iron and nickel at the base of the skyscraper.
The temperature inside the chamber exceeds 1,500°C, maintaining the metals in a liquid state.
The liquid metal begins to move, driven by:
Thermal convection - Hot metal rises while cooler metal sinks.
Rotational forces - Simulating Earth's core rotation.
Electromagnetic induction - External magnetic fields influence the flow.
Step 3: Generating the Electromagnetic Field
The movement of molten iron and nickel generates electric currents, similar to Earth's geodynamo effect.
This motion induces a localized magnetic field inside the skyscraper.
The generated electromagnetic field is now ready for transfer or amplification.
Step 4: Directing the Electromagnetic Energy
Tunnels and conductive pathways guide the generated electromagnetic current to other structures.
Energy transfer occurs through:
Downward-flowing liquid metal - Using gravity to direct electromagnetic energy.
Metal rods or conductive wires - Acting as magnetic waveguides.
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) principles - Utilizing charged liquid metal flow for energy efficiency.
Step 5: Creating a Circular Electromagnetic Grid
Multiple skyscraper-funnel structures are connected, forming a closed-loop electromagnetic network.
The fields interact and reinforce one another, forming a continuous ring of electromagnetic energy.
The system self-sustains as energy circulates in a loop, keeping the liquid metal in motion.
Step 6: Stabilizing & Maintaining the Energy Flow
The flow of molten metal and induced currents maintains a stable magnetic structure.
Excess energy is distributed throughout the system to prevent overload.
This creates a balanced and self-regenerating electromagnetic field.
Step 7: Extracting Usable Electrical Energy
Electromagnetic energy is converted into electricity using one of the following methods:
Inductive Coils - Conductive coils (e.g., copper) are placed around the moving metal to extract electric current (Faraday’s Law of Induction).
Conductive Rods & Tunnels - Charged particles in liquid metal flow through metallic rods or pathways, generating direct current (DC).
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Energy Extraction - Electrodes inside tunnels extract charge and send it to the power grid.
Step 8: Energy Transmission to the Grid
Once electricity is extracted, it must be efficiently transferred to the power grid.
Two main transmission methods:
Direct Current (DC) Transmission - Efficient for long-distance power transfer (e.g., high-voltage power lines).
Alternating Current (AC) Conversion - Used for local distribution, making it easier to step up/down voltages.
Step 9: Power Grid Integration
Electricity is routed to substations, where it is:
Stepped up (high voltage) for transmission across long distances.
Stepped down (low voltage) for use in homes, businesses, and industries.
This allows the solar-driven electromagnetic grid to power entire cities or regions.
Step 10: Sustainable Energy Loop
The system is self-regenerating due to:
The continuous flow of molten metal.
The closed-loop electromagnetic interactions.
The constant influx of solar energy.
This creates a perpetual energy generation system, requiring minimal external input.
Final Summary: How Energy Flows Through the System
Sunlight is collected and concentrated →
Water guides and cools the light while focusing energy downward →
Light heats molten iron & nickel, keeping it in motion →
Molten metal generates electric currents and an electromagnetic field →
Tunnels & conductive pathways direct energy into a connected grid →
The system forms a self-sustaining loop of electromagnetic energy →
Electricity is extracted using inductive coils, conductive rods, or MHD methods →
Energy is transmitted as DC or converted to AC for local power distribution →
Electricity is integrated into the grid, powering cities and industries →
The system sustains itself indefinitely through continuous energy cycling.

(2:45) "Sooner than they thought". A rather vague term, soon. What was the original plan, and how much sooner?
My thought exactly
I ll pray for a breakthrough soon! My love to the world. ❤❤❤
Very good dry. Now start actuall fusion reaction and get more energy out.
Those little dots that light up in the beginning of the process is that us witnessing actual fusion happen
Hi guys this would be nice 👌 free energy for everyone not just the few keep up with the good 👍 work David ❤❤
Many European countries are now regularly running at well over 50% of their energy demand coming from ‘free’ renewable sources and the pace of transition is increasing year on year. Similarly in China and elsewhere there is a rapid expansion of solar, wind and other renewable sources. It is conceivable that soon the cost of both fission and fusion energy may become comparatively inhibitive given the free availability of cheaper and easily maintained sources. The problems of containing/disposing of radioactive materials will have to be surmounted - Fusion reactors generate neutrons that render containment vessels radioactive
Amazing!!
I'm curious about the neutron utilization in fusion reactors - specifically, can these neutrons be used to breed fusion fuel by transmuting hydrogen into deuterium and tritium? While deuterium is actually fairly abundant in seawater (about 1 in 6,420 hydrogen atoms), tritium is indeed extremely rare in nature and needs to be produced artificially. What happens to the neutrons produced during fusion reactions, and what safety measures are in place to handle neutron radiation?
I will believe it is a real, practical, solution, when I see it work in a scale that can actually work

@@bigmacpaddywack No what he is trying to say is he doesn't want to and refused to believe the Chinese can have something more advanced than Americans/Europeans
Do you know that the first controlled, sustained flight of an engine-powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903 flew only four miles.
I will be excited when I see the technology being put into practical use.
I don't see the proof of that 'record'. There are just some CGI in the video. Provide the auditory with the proof of that whole process.
In movie like Spider-Man 2 where this sun like energy may actually become unstable or self tanging out of control could be reality true.
Is there an emergency shutdown to prevent such casualties, or is it not what the thumbnail how it will actually look like?
thank you.
Where was this experiment conducted?
Somewhere in China.
China is quite big, so, where exactly?

I think for fusion to work the reaction will have to be held in a spherical chamber not a doughnut shape.
Please provide the names of the scientists from the USA who witnessed the 17 minutes. CCP is not known for telling the truth.
Exactly. Anyone remember the barrel burning of files at chnse embassy here in liberty land? Wasn't to long ago!
Exactly!!
China, just turned the Ai industry upside down with DeepSeek R1, don't underestimate China, or you will lose.
I think they might have done it. They don't need the US to validate what they did.
@@jamespugh6827 USA isn't known for telling the truth either haha. Both suck and lack transparency especially with public financing.
Totally excited
This has blown my mind! Fusion for sure within 20 years...
Yes indeed. My grandpa said that too, about 70 years ago.
Already amazing China!. keep researching and keep developing.
Wow! So exciting!
I Love Living in The Future!!
How many new channels are coming out.
Very cool 😎 indeed. Peace ✌️ 😎.
Oh those 17 minutes....
Iya,, sudah mulai fokus pada cold fusion,
The only difference I can detect between fusion energy generation and fission energy generation is that fission produces radioactive materials. Fission (that is, nuclear) reactors are expensive to build and surely so will fusion reactors be expensive to build. I cannot see how fusion can be the Holy Grail of cheap energy production.
Tocamac solenoid and plasma only work in low gravity and near cooling source for steam turbines. Canadas sapphire electric hydrogen sun is the high gravity fusion method that is practical. Scrap everything else. Hard to maintain plasma critical mass and control temperature.
Hydro still 6X more power than fission reactors, so maybe stick with hydro and wind?

This could work if there was alot of available H3 on earth but there is tons of it on the bright side of our moon !
Yes there is, but I'm not selling it cheap.
😛😛@@zeriousvolt1245
There is no bright side of the moon.
Could you please answer why only 17 minutes.Is it because they cannot contain the plasma in a stable state for longer period,? Thank you.
That's as long as it lasted before falling apart. They'll keep trying to see what processes might have it last longer.
@@StumblingthroughlifeThank you.
Humans will regret not assisting the entropy of the earth itself. Geo-Thermal is so much easier, and the existing oil and gas companies can do it.
Still waiting on you to do a video on North Korea's discovery of the unicorn.
Fusion reactors and their benefits for a power-hungry world sound like a dream come true. So did fision reactors when they came on line right up until one went critical then 💥 boom . What will happen when a fusion reactor goes critical ☠️
BYD THEN energy and now AI by china... awesome
Thorium reactor is the way ❤❤❤😮❤❤❤
Is that Tony's Arc Reactor?
Maybe resolving cooling plates maybe turn or retract
Deepseek dropped now i hear about this china definitely ahead of the curve
Very impressive! God bless keep up the good work.
And India get break the record of religious gathering like mahakumbh in prayagraj😂😂😂
No heating pump system tones in our appartments than it is clear to reimagine whole industries maybe even together so America can always also work with China too
You need to learn the leadagers skills again and again like no heating pump system tones is an example cauz we all here in reality know we gotta walk more in future we need more living space also for us also the refugees all know anywhere and effective efficient use and access to a source to all and are resources limited so let’s train 🚂 the best again now is your turn common don’t give up be fluid intelligently ain’t we ought to do sth
We need a problem database we knew that to limit and by that expand our analyses what are the problems actually? Cauz if this ozone layer would have closed itself again anyway already what was the research about the climate and universe we really gotta analyse better again once more what was the problem see the problem database we need it
Well done China. 🇿🇦
What is the purpose. ?
It appears that China, a latecomer to the table of advanced technology, is achieving goals the rest of the world has been striving for for decades. Go, China.
Imagine a world without money !
This development may be limited on commervial use by the cost and operating precision stability of lasing..heat containing materials..superconductor design and cist of energy as supplied.While the effort of Chinese scientists is commendable in labs..they should bring it to usable level out of lab conditions🙏
Do you know that the first controlled, sustained flight of an engine-powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903 flew only four miles. No commercial use right? Commendable efforts right?
The sun is shining by quantum tunnelling effect. It is not at 100M°C. This why we need a reactor much warmer than the sun.
Well done China
We got the Power
I love how they show several nuclear cooling towers while they talk about fossil fuels. That's steam coming from those towers.
China: we did 17 minutes guys!
Proof: trust me bro for real we did
US: Saddam Hussein has WMD guys!
Proof: trust me bro.

More importantly the next step an engine for a starship
They need it to put out more power than it takes to run it. That's always been the problem.
That's probably why this is news.
The NIF one definitely created more energy than used. But I was told the energy is about the amount a human gets from eating a Snickers bar. Which makes you realize just how amazing our bodies are with energy. Nice to see progress moving forward.
I think A.I will help us perfect fusion faster than we think.
That's easy since we think so slowly.
The real question is did they get more energy out of the system than what was put into it?.. if the answer is no then who gives AF
What better the that when there's a nuclear winter ❄️
does this not produce heavy metals just like in the sun?
good name
NIF in it's current form is NEVER going to be practical, sure, they have got their little gold Hohlraum that holds the frozen fuel pellet sorted out, and made good fusion with it, but, the laser bank that is used to power it ? holy mother f'er, is that thing a dinosaur, it is so crazy powerful , so crazy big, that it LITTERALLY fries itself when operating. The laser is building sized, multi compartment with equipment that is just absurdly expensive and fragile, the beam is so powerful it "crazes" the glass optics and amplifiers, I doubt NIF is going to be able to stay operational for much longer, since TOKAMACS really are the "go to" way to make fusion work, EAST current progress is really great, to hold a fusion sustaining for 17 minutes proves that they are past the big hurdles, in the past, the big issue really has been squeezing and holding that plasma without it sneaking past the field and BANG ! imagine a plasma at over 100 million degrees Celsius coming into contact with ANYTHING physical, that's a bad day for that material plus it also quenches the process, a major no no.Recently, newer super conductors (REBCO) have come to the rescue and enabled finally the kinds of magnetic field strength that is ultimate essential for sustained, stable, fusion. The great thing about tis new superconductor, is that it is high temperature, by that I mean liquid nitrogen and that is perfectly doable and practical plus it is very easy to make and work with, and more importantly, it can handle MASSIVE current without crapping out. It is in fact so good, that it has enabled lots of smaller startups to attempt much smaller scale TOKAMACS, but suffice to say, with size you get more room to play with field density and probably will be easier to actually implement. Fusion will change the planet for sure, but it will also mean a new type of space propulsion system too. All this is definitely coming, but to say that we need to stop oil right now is just absurd, it is needed more now than ever, it will enable the wealth to move the slow transition to other energy types, plus the multitude of other essential uses of oil, anyone who says end oil just has no clue what they are talking about.
If this is true then Fusion is no longer 30 years away but more like 3.
If it gets out of hand, spiderman can drown it in the river
Lot of no talk about this power from Canadian scientists
Takes a lot of fossil fuel to do that, if it actually happened.
So Doc Oc. "Power of then sun in the palm of my hand"
The thumbnail says it all. 🚩
Good news, if true. About time fusion is only 20 years away.
China will make the world Great again ❤❤
Come back in another 30 years.
Who here just remembered spiderman 2 ?
Only another ten years until it works. Almost there, again!
If we fall behind China technologically we can thank the Invention Security Act.
But did they break even?

Humans need to invest greatly in a fully operational quantum computer. It would greatly assist in the completion of a fully operational fusion reactor. It would also answer so many questions that the science world has tried to answer. Quantum encryption is also possible with this. You all have a great day.
