Fusion Energy Announcement Tomorrow.

Is this a Qtotal or Qplasma breakthrough? Can't find any statement on this.

Some of the diagnostic equipment used to evaluate the results were damaged but they say they have repeated the process more than once. I'm not sure they will say what the results really are until they can capture all the data.. Who knows at this point. I am curious on this being a path to a power source I am just cautious knowing how this could turn out and who will be in control of it at the end of the day. I hope they publish all their findings and procedures to allow other facilities to attempt to replicate it. Lord knows we don't need another Fleischmann and Pons experiment..

So this could be in our future?

Maybe.. Its a better option (fusion) vs the EV's we have today (battery technology). I would be more forgiving to current EV's if we had fusion as their power supply. At the end of the day between this, Elon and his Boring company, Space X and his humanoid Optimus he's planning on developing Mars for a future generation of humans. Not sure how feel about the humanoids and Neuralink as far as how and who will control those chips.. I keep jumping back to a hybrid of Terminator, iRobot and WALL-E..



I'm sure we all have seen these types of graphs but its interesting to see how fast technology has grown since 1950.

Isn't Bitcoin a leap backwards ?

Lots of people fleeced on Crypto

Give us more funding please. We should have something for you in 20-50 years.

Nuclear fusion: How long until this breakthrough discovery can power your house

What a bummer! So we'll still need battery powered cars as long as the batteries are safe.

"It's not going to be like Mr. Fusion in 'Back to the Future II,'" said Brizard, referencing the coffee-can-sized fusion reactor that fueled the DeLorean at the end of the film.

Why at 1:03AM? I recall reading that the facility takes so much power from the local grid to charge supercapacitors that they can't run it during the day without causing brownouts.

Fusion energy requires tremendous heat and pressure to amalgamate atoms. Temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius and millions of bars of pressure. That's how the "H" bomb works. They have to first ignite a fission reaction to create the necessary temps and pressure. Elon Musk said he looked at Fusion but the price of Tritium isotope is very high and rare.
