🤣Don’t hold your breath. Fusion has been 10 years from reality since I took my Nuclear Engineering courses back in the 1970’s.
Are you sure what you said is correct?
I think you should probably brush up on your nuclear engineering if you think this isn’t a massive accomplishment lol
Amazing
Great news! I hope this can be turned into clean power soon so we can end our dependence on fossil fuels.
Live off the land, you can survive without using fossil fuels so go and do it
@Deft One uhhh geothermal energy.
@Robert Turner _Nuclear has radioactive waste that is harmful to life and lasts thousands of years._
The danger posed by fission radioactive waste is exaggerated and misunderstood. Also, fusion too does produce waste, but of a different kind to fission.
@Primmakin Sofis Tell that to the folks close to 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl, or Fukashima. Or look at how Nevada felt about Yucca Mountain. They did not want the waste. I believe these communities are all acting rationally to have concerns.
@Shaolin Rasta geothermal isn’t even close to as energy dense as nuclear. Nothing can match nuclear power output
What is she talking about as a reaction h as s happened before in a laboratory.
No, it hasn’t. Labs all over the world would be repeating and expanding upon it if it had been.
I had an ’06 Ford Fusion, was a decent car. Hopefully this one is a bit better.
real science
There is even a documentary on it but because cold fusion was the big thing back then the 2 scientists that had done this had there careers literally destroyed and there names slandered
@Keatrith Amakiir yes but back in the day there was so much money pumped into and that’s why pretty much the while science community went against these other 2 scientists discovery.
@rapier1954 Farrell not talking about cold fusion the 2 scientists made a reaction with hot fusion it was a big thing about them publishing there findings before they had it peer reviewed
@Sean Baran Please put up the reference to actual scientific official sources for what you are claiming.
@rapier1954 Farrell il b more then happy too when I’m done work and I find it. Documentary came out years ago.
@Sean Baran Well post it and we all want to read it
” I’m a fusion, .. tee hee”
Dr. Octo beat you to it already but ended up destroying it before it destroys the earth – careful – hehe
A great leap forward of human being. Congratulations !
@Richard Billyham BAAAAAAAH BAAAAAAAAAH BAAAAAAAAH
“I’m a computer. Stop all the downloadin’.”
When can we start using it?
One step at a time.
It’ll be at least a decade, at best
There’s a big fusion project in Europe called “Iter”. They are a coupe of years from when they expect to produce net positive energy. After that they have 20 years of research planned. So, decades still.
@Jim Trainor Look closely at how they define positive energy.
This is the equivalent of humans figure out how to get gasoline out of crude oil. No combustion engine, rubber tires or cars for that matter when it was figured out but where we went from then to now. Think of were we can take this in the 100+ years.
It’s the moon landing all over again. 🤣🤣🤣
lol the audience is like “what’s fusion”
insert picard facepalm meme
Could this help solve the climate crisis?!
Yes it has no carbon footprint .it will be years from now and need a gigantic initial investment.the environment will be the real winner
Mars here we come!
Maybe in 20 years !
ISWYDT!
Cool discovery, I can hardly wait for the “Fusion energy Tax” .
– “Pollution should be freee!!”
– “Enough with the science, already.”
Nice! Can’t wait for the Liberals to find a way to tax it.
Great! How much longer before we have fusion bombs?
We’ve had those for 70 years. They are called thermo nuclear weapons. Smashing atoms together is the easy part, getting them to sustain a reaction indefinitely is the (so far) impossible part
Defies the laws of thermodynamics.
