      Everyone LOVES your t-shirt. But I say, TAKE IT OFF! You'd look awesome in just a cape, the symbol of power and prestige. A flowing cape will make you appear larger and more imposing, potentially intimidating those evil anti-science villains. However, once they catch wind of your superior cognitive abilities, you’ll need to adopt an alias to safeguard your secret identity. Copilot suggests "Doctor Divertor" and "Magnetic Maestro." :-)

    A very clear presentation. Perhaps Dr Cowley can tell us how the plasmas will be controlled in the DT operation when the high energy neutrons will knock the hell out of sensors and insulators in a matter of minutes?

    While mixing tokamaks and stellarators might bring the best of both, care should be taken not to bring the worst of both. To be fair, studies at the University of Auburn Compact Toroidal Hybrid (CTH) experiment have proven it's possible to reduce disruptions.

    congrats!! ... doctor Cowley Finally, the U.S. govt is recognizing the importance of fusion research. In the past, it did the equivalent of giving a nice corner-smile-glance, but never really dealt with it as a serious alternative energy generation method. If we can crack this nut, we'll never want for electricity - we'll always have more than we'd want.

    One thing that I have never had explained to me is what happens when a 100 million degree photon hits the container wall, is the energy absorbed and diffused into nearby atoms or does that atom get blasted off the wall and into the chamber which I assume would prevent this type of fusion?

    • @jjeherrera
      @jjeherrera 19 дней назад +2

      The issue aren't the photons, but the 14 MeV neutrons, which will displace and activate the atoms in the wall. That's why research on the first wall materials is so important. Although everyone in the fusion community is aware of this, there hasn't been enough investment on this, and that's why 14 MeV neutron sources are so badly needed.

    Don't the toruses become radioactive from neutron bombardment after some time? Would that be considered nuclear waste? I have been asking this question since 1972

      The answer to this is yes, and the activity will be high enough to question whether repair by remote vehicles will be possible.

    It is all about containment…..
    The sun uses the force of gravity to contain the fusion reaction and only energy in the form of radiation can escape the force of gravity.
    Whilst here on Earth the fusion reaction is contained by the magnetic force.
    The question must be how the energy from the fusion reaction is captured and released from the magnetic confinement.
    It seems an impossible task…..

      @@deepharia4209Quite how this question can be answered is not clear, but there is certainly a move in the U.K. to get SMRs on the road. At least we know that they will definitely work - unlike fusion reactors which are decades from coming to the market in spite of the present day claims. The investors don’t understand the problems.
