I love your animation video how you guys make it This video ???
hi great job for reaching 8.1 million subscribers i watch your videos everyday.
An update for everyone just discovering this amazing channel: we just managed to make a fusion reaction that gave off more energy than we put in! It's not even close to being a viable energy source yet, but it's a huge breakthrough!
Six years ago fusion was a fairy tale, yesterday the news said we made it profitable in energy terms, when are we going to make it cheap enough? In January? XD
@@javierqb8898 if only hahaha, I expect within my lifetime, 50-60 years most likely, the most optimistic estimate I have seen is 30 years, but I feel like that is wishful thinking.
Well, I guess you are right but I think we are very close
@@javierqb8898 no way near... there are still a lot of problems

the weirdest thing just happened, I was doing my chem homework, started thinking about nuclear power, that led me to this video, which led me to look up fusion reactor progress. Amazingly 3 hour it broke that for the first time scientists actually had a positive net gain energy from a fusion reaction . Absolutely nuts.
was it including the cost to make the fuel... ? afaik not including fuel
Holy coincidences!
Maybe you should remember this coincidence and give chemistry a go if you are interested in it.

@@VengefulMaverick I dont "think" that my country isnt doing as much bullshit as america. I know it. "scientific breakthroughs". Yes. Nearly 100 years ago. Today it would need MUCH more than a fucking military research group to make something as influencing as stuff like the internet. Or what else did u mean? Cuz most usefull things theese days arent made cuz of the military. And things that actually were made cuz of the military were made while the country was in a big war. Spend thoose 600billion in scientific research and u will get much more "breakthroughs" than with the military. or at least pay 400billion instead of 600 and u could do so much better and more usefull stuff with it
@@VengefulMaverick I didnt explain myself in my first comment cuz i thought that it is pretty obvious.

@@Raj-gr6dy I'll be way more excited if we spend 10 billion on our greed and corruption problems.

Both arent mutually exclusive, and id say that fusion is pretty damn important for the good of humanity

@Ultimate Doge wasn't just america tons of governments know what a thorium reactor is they just go we want bombs also since these guys have them.
I’d love to see the analytics on this video given the recent fusion news.
like how much of the 10 billion have we spent (probably much much more). And we need to include the Artemis launch costs.
@Sunny and the us army budget is almost 1 fucking trillion
Get a life or go complain abiut studf that really makes sense instead of complaining about research thatll make the world way better (and potentially help solve some of the issues you mentioned)
@@peacenow42 more like how we produced more energy than we put in the fusion reaction for the first time.
@@projekttaku1 So we beat the laws of physics and thrift? We got more energy and spent more money. So it must be good!
@@peacenow42 yup. While were still along way from it being commercially viable, its proof of concept and can now allow fusion energy to advance at a much faster pace, and other countries will also likely catch up with this new development and it'll become a arms race to make it more efficient and cheaper for commercial use.
This can only mean good things as it means near limitless clean energy, which would fix many problems in the world and is very desirable.
coming back to this after the recent news, crazy to see how far this channels production quality has grown while still being just as informing. mad props to the guys at kurzgesagt

Donland they still innovate what our countries do that should be the question...
What u can do for the betterment of others rather than asking the opposite question...
@Ezio Auditore Europe has invested lots of money on it. France has the largest fusion reactor currently (the ITER mentioned in the video); this year Italy is building an experimental prototype that should improve on France's technology--the so called DTT project. So, the US is not alone in this--it's actually a worldwide project, as it should be (many teams from plenty of countries work together, often in real time)
@Ezio Auditore but with scientists from all around the world.
I watched this video a while ago... unbelievably happy with the progress we're making, seriously! what an amazing thing to be thankful for..
FUSION ENERGY UPDATE PLEASE. This channel is the best way to explain to people in lay-man terms how this breakthrough will positively affect our planet and species as a whole.
remember, this is simply proof of concept and not commercially viable. However now it can advance at a much faster rate and other countries will enter a arms race to make fusion energy more efficient, cheaper and commercially viable, which can only mean good things as global warming will become less of an issue, same goes for pollution, and there won't be energy crisis's anymore.
This video explains how fusion energy works. They don't need to update it
@@keepitclean8791 but alot of what they say is kinda outdated now, like "will we ever get more energy than we put in?".

What will come first, commercial fusion or half life 3?
Brb2jNdett Commercial fusion: half life 3 will require so much energy to run that fusion is practically a prerequisite
Probably commercial fusion as small as a phone battery...

Please make an update of this video! :D :D :D
We are all so excited about fusion + National Ignition Facility made 2 major breakthrough; one in August 2021 and then a few days ago they managed to produce more energy than they used, first time ever.
Never thought so much progress would have been made in only 6 years :) With the US government, Google, Chevron and other companies starting to pour billions in fusion energy, it really looks like it might happen in our lifetime. And with recent news, more funding might even pour in these projects from other investors.
Six years ago fusion was a fairy tale, yesterday the news said we made it profitable in energy terms, when are we going to make it cheap enough? In January? XD
@@javierqb8898 and with the proof of concept people are going to now try to make it more efficient and cheaper, and more people will convert to using fusion. I only wish we had poured this kind of effort into fusion earlier so we wouldn't be in such a bad situation.
From Laser energy to Fusion energy was net positive. (2MJ to 3 MJ)
Electricity to Fusion energy is nowhere near net positive. (between 300MJ and 500MJ to 3MJ)
I just saw the BBC news and this pops up
I write my thesis for ITER now, not a big part but still quite cool that I can contribute to the project
No matter how small, thanks for your work. Even if it won’t happen in our generation or the next, fusion is bound to be the energy of the semi-near future, and it’s important that we pave the road to it right now. So thanks again for your work
Sorry 69, will like you when more, but deserve it...
@@davidmangru3762 the problem is that always 30y out, there's even memes! Its more like a one day will be cool, but for now center on other things...

If not any big problem occurs during the next few years, the first fusion in ITER is programmed for December 2025. Go on their RUclips channel ! It is so impressive !

10 billion doesn't seem that bad when a single B-2 stealth bomber costs tax payers nearly 2 billion dollars.
The only problem is if you just write scientists $10 billion cheque they wouldn't quite know what to do with it. The parts for the ITAR reaction has to be made by specialist companies from all around the world, and even then they don't always meet the requirements of what the scientists want, and has to be sent back for modifications. Even then they still don't know if the machine will work. Certainly more money will be helpful but sometimes when making new science there's no substitute for patience.
All true, but it would still help a lot if governments contributed more to science budgets, which tend to be rather overlooked compared to shit like buying more missiles/planes/aircraft carriers etc.
Not true, patience does not get you anything. We sat on our ass for decades and starved nuclear research and space R&D off funding, and progress basically stopped there.
This is not fundamental research like general relativity, instead it's an engineering problem. Engineering problems are solved very well by correct application of £££. If there was a sustained high level of funding then you can build the industrial complex you need, train more scientists, etc.
enforcing military might is much more practical than gambling on major advancements for humanity. /sarcasm

come here 5 years later after seeing BBC video about nuclear fusion energy breakthrough
FUSION BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!
After watching many Kuzgesagt videos, I have come up with the steps to mastery of the solar system:
1. Create moon base using skyhooks for cheap transportation
2. Get large amounts of energy using helium 3 and fusion
3. Using this energy, construct and power a station capable of mining asteroids autotamanously. While this is under construction, send a shuttle to a nearby asteroid rich in resourses and bring it back using gravity math stuff
4. Expand asteroid operation until rich in resources
5. Expand to Mercury, and set up a system to propel solar panels in order to begin construction of the Dyson Sphere
6. Complete dyson sphere and set up system that can effectively move the solar system using the energy from the sphere and mass from the sun.
7. Come close enough to a black hole that we are able to construct a large glass dome around it and use it as an infinite energy source

Australia has also spent 2 billion to boost gas companies in the middle of a fire season too!
Australia spends billions handing out subsidies to climate criminals, and also is paying to let gas companies take over CSIROso that they can silence them about climate change. For more stuff like this: see thejuicemedia
Do a video on the molted salt reactor please.
Upvote this comment so it gets to the top! I also want Kurzgesagt to make a video on LFTRs!

LFTRs FTW
They did a set on nuclear fission, they mentioned advanced reactors. If they did a video on LFTR, it wouldn't be long enough likely, but if they did one all advanced reactors they might fill the time. Hopefully they know some people to iron out the details, and if they don't me and my nuclear engineering buddies can point them in the right direction.
The Emperor has spoken, and so it must be true.
Would love to see an update on this video!!
At least Kurzgesagt would celebrate for this success!
Those madlads in Oxfordshire have done it.
"The Sun works because of nuclear fusion. In a nutshell..."
He said it! He said the thing!
so why the free electron doesn't produce electricity or that just way too hot in the sun
@@kaungsatthein8172 you know, you need a lot of protons ie, H+ and gravity with high temp to start the fusion reaction, but
the sun has way more lot of hydrogen, but only 20% of it goes for fusion, and till now only 5% have turned into helium among those 20% hydrogen,
the remaining 80% hydrogen only contributes gravity and cannot be used as fuel for fusion
you know a star will be a star until it undergoes fusion.
@@zoro.73 thanks
@@sparklenights5421 happy to help you :)
yes
p.s.: yey a heppi ending 4 de ppl
I live for these videos

he was just reading her name
+Seth Wheeler (I Am The Ram Rod) lol
The rudest.
I really appreciate your hardwork. No words to say.
Today the technology has been achieved
"Can we bottle a star"
Terraria fans: well yes but actually *yes*
God of Pizza lol
THANK GOD SOMEONE MADE THIS JOKE

IM YOUR 150 LIKE.
@@XalconKugelBlitz okay.. thanks?
It's worth the risk. Let's spend the money!
There are many other elements that are required for nuclear reactors, apart from the fuel.
There isn't enough on Earth to satisfy the demand of all other industries, so where are you going to get more? Mining operations in space are still a long way off, and likely to be incredibly expensive.
You've heard the random youtube commenter guy. Do it!
Liberis Puritatem Lol yes! :D
In future, the name of Jon Krieger is known by everyone. Father of fusion power plants.
Cept it's already being done. Tomoaraks exist and have for a while. Stellarators are coming, and the Wendelstein 7-X already test fired successfully. By this time next year, they will have run the 'continuous' test as well, and if it proves viable, which the results they have so far are more promising than they originally expected them to be, then it won't be long before someone makes a reactor.
In RUclips's world this was, is & will be the best channel of all every day.
Hi I'm from the future, Dec 11 2022 and a fusion reaction just created a net gain of 20% press conference coming Tuesday. Interesting to see who will try to hold back and oppose the steps needed to develop this now that's proven possible.
maybe us little poeple struggling to stay alive???? are you interested in us?
@@peacenow42 Yeah it's really terrible that you little people all have to die when the price of fossil fuels drops because free energy exists.
@@jamesowens3587 I get it. You think because 'free' energy becomes possible all wars will stop...people will start behaving without greed and corruption...dream away.
yay
Oh gosh that animation is just dreamy. OK I have an idea to solve fusion energy. They should do a 10 billion dollar Kickstarter. I'll put in $10 no problem. Let's go.
If only 1 in every 7 people on the entire planet contributes, we'll have this funded in no time!!
tbh, I get a feeling 10 billion wont cut it
no problem, by the time we reach that point, we are the ones printing money :)
Lets do it
Btw, what am i getting for my 10$? Tons of virtual kwh?
10 billion dollar is pocket change, but its better spent on weapons we need those against evil aliens (sigh)
You mean it's better spent on a trillion dollar plane that the military doesn't even want :P
We need a small loan of 10 billion dollars, who's willing to lend it?
we could just print 10 billion dollars and create the technology before anyone catches on
patu8010 nope because inflation
I think thats why he said before anyone catches on. But yeah inflation would make problems
Who's back here because of the ignition breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility?
Every video from you guys is just awesome. It shift me to new level. Good job.
Kutzgezagt Vsauce Vsauce2 and Vsauce3 uploaded a video in one hour.. Wow!
*Kurzgesagt
its like x-mas

like after Trump became president.
the fact they just explained fusion by showing Dragon ball z fusion when Goku taught the fusion dance to piccolo. props on that subtle piece of joy
Jonathan Barber yeah, but piccolo isn't a saiyan.
Super Waffle
So?
Mavado so, as a dragon ball fan, I am triggered.
I'm petty sure the chaos emerald was powering that generator also
This video was done 6 years ago and it's now December 2022 and it is accomplished.
I have been considering home schooling my newborn and I think I want to show them your videos
We spend 10 billion dollars on stupid shit every year. Cost being an excuse not to take a chance is bullshit. This is the future, if we actually TRY.
AkilTheAwesome why would money even matter? Do it in the name of science
Because you need money to do something "in the name of science". You know how world works? I hope you do. Yes money matter.
AkilTheAwesome I totally agree. DO IT. JUST DO IT
AkilTheAwesome we also spend 10 billion on porn to
The risk may be great, but the reward is even GREATER.
So it's a small sun providing energy by using tritium as fuel.
You're telling me that Spider-Man 2 actually had some basis in reality?
You are a fool to think that the spiderman trilogy doesn't have basis in reality

Fusion technology plans and the science behind it has been in circulation for decades, It just hasn't worked beyond about 50% efficiency until these past two.
If it wasn't, all this years have bite myself to spiders for nothing.
IT WILl ALWAyS NO MATTER WAat YA DO
@Shivapranav Karnam yay
we had haters but we out here in 2022 with nuclear fusion 😎 next decade we growing exponentially 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
