How will Helion cool its proposed power plant... The energy generation volume (copper magnetics) is very small and can't be cooled by sufficient air or water flow
What the heck is that bouncing hot "particle" at the top of the WEST tokamak at 4:35??!? It can't be an actual particle, it would be knocked around the vacuum vessel toroidally as soon as it hit the plasma and wouldn't be so regular in its motion. It can't be a Thomson scattering laser beam, the time scale of the video is way too long for a light pulse to be slowed down to what's seen here, and why wouldn't it be traversing the entire bulk of the plasma.... Edit: aha, I thought of something! I bet it's actually a Langmuir probe. A metal ball on a stick that's being periodically mechanically "dipped" into the plasma volume to measure the e temperature and density in the plasma directly. It's being rapidly heated to incandescence every time it hits the edge of the plasma, I bet.
Nice see the latest in tokomaks. Strikes me that they are going ahead without a working prototype. Our configuration delivers and our prototype runs on air as a chemical fuel. I've not tried deuterium except in 1969 at the Rutherford when we powered a 1/4hp electric motor I've been ignored ever since. Total disbelief. Then the psychiatrist attacked and I lost my job.
As a Fusion student, it is nice to get these well structured news overviews! Thanks FIA!
Thanks Mr. Peachman! To the point and well explained as usual. Thank you guys for doing this.
Yay!! Best news of the week are here! Weekly!
3:50 Grafite obsorbs hidrogen , but tungsten cools the plasma .Covering of the tungsten plates with grafite could be obvious solution of this problem

They try to fake it in the hope they will make it before the people will found out that they have no real solution
what is that 'bouncing ball' spark in the upper left at 4:40 ?
zare u familiar with the SAFIRE project?
I hope for his sanity that he has not spent time looking into such BS 😂
its a load of hokum as is the electric universe nonsense, I also personally know these people, its sad
delusional, sorry
