Japan sets new nuclear fusion record
A massive nuclear fusion experiment just hit a major milestone, potentially putting us a little closer to a future of limitless clean energy.

You're viewing part of a thread.
China currently is off of what designs are left that were made at Oak Ridge in the 60's. They are doing the work that should have been completed in the 1970's at Oak Ridge.
Energy independence free from petroleum that could help desalinate water and capture CO2 from the atmosphere mean anything to you?
How about using nuclear waste from light / heavy water reactors to make more energy? Or making isotope that can better kill cancer without harming the rest of your body?
Yes it may be hard but it was proven to be feasible whether you like it or not by people much smart then you or I and is leaps and bounds easier than fusion hence the reason for them building one in the 1960's.
I have some news for you. If were feasible, then it would've been adapted already. The reason that it isn't should give you a hint.
We will let China deal with that as they are working on it right now
🙄
@n3m37h @DarkThoughts Wow, I mean the writing has been on the walls for years that China has been way ahead on the making it go part. I'm hopeful that they will publish some publicly available science that the rest of us can learn from. Nothing quite like running it a while to gain insight.
I know, it's a shame that the US let this one slip. Regardless once this gets figured out it will do the entire world good... Maybe...
