US Scientists Repeat Fusion Power Breakthrough For a Second Time

US Scientists Repeat Fusion Power Breakthrough For a Second Time thumbnail

US government scientists have achieved net energy gain in a fusion reaction for the second time, a result that is set to fuel optimism that progress is being made towards the dream of limitless, zero-carbon power.

Physicists have since the 1950s sought to harness the fusion reaction that powers the sun, but until December no group had been able to produce more energy from the reaction than it consumes — a condition also known as ignition.

Researchers at the federal Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, who achieved ignition for the first time last year, repeated the breakthrough in an experiment on July 30 that produced a higher energy output than in December, according to three people with knowledge of the preliminary results.

The laboratory confirmed that energy gain had been achieved again at its laser facility, adding that analysis of the results was underway.

“Since demonstrating fusion ignition for the first time at the National Ignition Facility in December 2022, we have continued to perform experiments to study this exciting new scientific regime. In an experiment conducted on July 30, we repeated ignition at NIF,” it said. “As is our standard practice, we plan on reporting those results at upcoming scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed publications.”

Fusion is achieved by heating two hydrogen isotopes — usually deuterium and tritium — to such extreme temperatures that the atomic nuclei fuse, releasing helium and vast amounts of energy in the form of neutrons.

Although many scientists believe fusion power stations are still decades away, the technology’s potential is hard to ignore. Fusion reactions emit no carbon, produce no long-lived radioactive waste and a small cup of hydrogen fuel could theoretically power a house for hundreds of years.

The most widely studied approach, known as magnetic confinement, uses huge magnets to hold the fuel in place while it is heated to temperatures hotter than the sun.

The NIF uses a different process, called inertial confinement, in which it fires the world’s largest laser at a tiny capsule of the fuel triggering an implosion.

US energy secretary Jennifer Granholm in December described the achievement of ignition as “one of the most impressive science feats of the 21st century”. In that experiment, the reaction produced about 3.15 megajoules, which was about 150 per cent of the 2.05MJ in the lasers.

Initial data from the July experiment indicated an energy output greater than 3.5MJ, two of the people with knowledge of the preliminary results said. That energy would be roughly sufficient to power a household iron for an hour.

Achieving net energy gain has been seen for decades as a crucial step in proving that commercial fusion power stations are possible. However, there are still several hurdles to overcome.

Energy gain in this context only compares the energy generated to the energy in the lasers, not to the total amount of energy pulled off the grid to power the system, which is much higher. Scientists estimate that commercial fusion will require reactions that generate between 30 and 100 times the energy in the lasers.

The NIF also makes a maximum of one shot a day, whereas an internal confinement power plant would probably need to complete several shots a second.

However, the improved result at NIF, coming “only eight months” after the initial breakthrough, was a further sign that the pace of progress was increasing, said one of the people with knowledge of the results.

    My car broke down, Without going in all the detail it is a 2006 with electric power steering. I suspect a short or a defectives unit.

    Back 1995 we had really reliable cars, manual transmission, manual or hydraulic steering. these were proven technologies easy to manufacture and reliable. We had no turbo on gasoline engine, just enough electronic in them, no too much, just enough to keep them cars reliable and easy to fix. Same problems with farming equipment and heavy machinery.

    They went full retard with electric and electronics technologies. Things are unreliable and difficult to trouble shoot.

    There is no way we will survive such stupidity. Earth is now a death trap that you cannot get out of.

    The only people that will live, are the people that will get a new body and transfer out of earth into something else. If you stay, on earth, it is guarantee you will die.

    You are never there when I need help, but you are always there to make Jews video and shovel them down my face. you hare never there when I need help, but you are always there to send messsage using my YouTube. What are you good for.

    You should have killed all the Jews of the world, when I asked you.

    If you are intelligent you will kill yourself , as soon as gazoline shortage or rationing start.

    No point of pretending that earth can be fixed, it is an execution chamber for bad souls.

    The stupid whore can even not help me about anything, can even fix my car. She is incapable of fixing earth. She is just an useless whore good for nothing. She just take and give nothing in return, exactly like a Jew.

    This is bullshit propaganda coming directly from NWO. They all work together to enslave the population of earth. The bitch can put certain type of video on my Youtube page but cannot fix my car, cannot send my help when I needed. The bitch is the one that is part of NWO management team. She is a completely useless bitch to me on top of being amoral, manipulative and a liar.

    Wokeism, anti-Whites propaganda, Jews Holocaust crap have been created by the NWO to push their agenda. I am willing to die to see the NWO leadership killed and earth completely destroyed. You can put video on my YouTube page but cannot send me a tow truck when I need one. What the fuck are you good for, bitch.

Once I left earth, I will decapitate all the Jews living on earth. As soon as it is possible for me, I will kill all the Jews of the world

    This is interesting.

    If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action.
    They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no
    place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has fallen. Our
    actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person
    shall give us shelter.
    This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present and future lives,
    for this reality will transcend many generations and life spans.
    This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came.
    This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER
    be written or spoken of, for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release
    the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths
    from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself

    I already have certain power over this reality. I suggested to kill the vegetation by turning it yellow and then brown that is the color of death for vegetation.

    I am your King.

    It must NEVER, EVER
    be written or spoken of, for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release
    the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths
    from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself

    All the Jews of planets earth need to be exterminated with extremes violence for what they did to the White race. Europeans of Europe should have worked with the Germans to exterminate as many Jews as possible.

    You don’t forget your enemies, in the case the jews, you seek revenge and their extermination.

  34. eee on Wed, 9th Aug 2023 11:29 pm 

    I guess I could be willing to make deal with the Europeans if they are willing to work with me at exterminating all the Jews of the world. First we will carry bombing campaign on Israel infrastructures: water, electrical, agricultural.

    After that we will setup death squad to kill all Jews living in North America and Europe. I could make a deal.
