‘Artificial sun’ sets record for time at 100 million degrees in latest advance for nuclear fusion
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/01/climate/ ... index.html

A team of scientists has made a major breakthrough in fusion energy technology. They’ve built the first-of-its-kind fusion experiment using permanent magnets, a surprisingly simple technique that could potentially slash the cost of future fusion power plants.

The team, based at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), pioneered a new design for a type of fusion machine called a stellarator.

Nuclear fusion power plant plan reaches 'major milestone'

First Light Fusion, in Yarnton, Oxfordshire, has increased the distance a projectile is fired into the fuel by more than ten times. The company says the development is crucial to its design for a commercial power plant. Mila Fitzgerald, a scientist at the company, called it an "exciting step".

Can't be far away for commercial fusion now, a decade perhaps?

In the 70+ years I've been alive, commercial fusion has always been 30 years away.

Will Nuclear Fusion Soon Be The "Norm?"

Key Words
"The dream of humanity"
"Spurred by the failures of wind and solar"
"$60 million state fund" (slush fund)
"The new method... is a game changer" (it's better this time)
"hope is that fusion energy will the “norm” as early as the mid-1930s."

That last point is what makes this news so credible, the claim to be 10 years out in the future. Which is, as any armchair expert on Nuclear fusion knows, the proper timeline. Fusion power is always just 10 years in the future. No more, no less. 10 is a workable number, $10 will get you a feed, put some gas in the car, buy you a pack of cigarettes. In the public consciousness 10 is not too big and not too small, it goes by unobserved doesn't it? When it's spend, so what! There is always another 10 there on hand.

What are we talking about here? Cold fusion? Hot? Lukewarm Fusion. Ahhhh, you'll have to read the report/article/sales pitch to see.

A brief montage of Oooo, Ahhhh, for the techno dreamers to salivate over. "California-based", just remember that, and "Los Alamos National Laboratory" Totally TechnoCool.

...to imitate the forces that created their habitat has been alive for at least as far back as the time when humans with a single language decided to build a city with a tower that reached the heavens...
build on Enrico Fermi’s discovery that neutrons could split atoms to recognize that splitting atoms would release significant energy...
California-based TAE Technologies has been developing a reactor that runs on proton-boron aneutronic fusion – that is, a fusion reaction that fuses a hydrogen nucleus with non-radioactive boron-11...
New research at the University of Texas, in conjunction with Los Alamos National Laboratory and Type One Energy Group, uses symmetry theory to help engineers design magnetic confinement systems

Rules out those who can read, and if they can, can' t think. Carry on Waffen-SS wanna be.

How's that adam. Finally a thread where you know as much as everyone else

Tanada knows more on this topic than everyone else on this topic. Most certainly that includes me.

A parrot posting things from online isn't the same as undestanding the topic. I know minor things about nukes, Tanada is quite the informed on the topic.

You are just a parrot.

Lack of knowledge that is your dilemma adam. Just look at your life, you have a lot less than you had 10 years ago, admit it. As each year passes you'll have less and less, when was the last time you ate eye-fillet steak? Bought a decent wrist watch or lashed out on a great winter jacket?

Pull your dumb head out of the ground and look around

Lack of knowledge that is your dilemma adam.

Sure. After CSIRO hunted me down, flew to America to ask questions and give my group presentations on their work so we could help them, as they walked out the door they said, "Gee there Adam, you really don't know as much as those published science papers you wrote indicate, or your reputation in the US indicated, have a good day.."

Yes...now that I think about it...that's what they must have said.

Just look at your life, you have a lot less than you had 10 years ago, admit it.

There you go again. You say something, stupid, uninformed, make believe...and then pretend it is true.

Why do you do that? I don't have less gold then 10 years ago. Nor 44 years ago. It has stayed the same. I invested money in 2015, and it is more, just as markets have increased. The house has changed, and is more, I might have 1 fewer motorcycle.

But overall, where does this seemingly instinctive urge to be so easily outted as the fool come from?

As each year passes you'll have less and less,

Why? It hasn't been true for the last 10 years. Or the 35 before that. This must be true because an uneducated doomer in a country lacking testicles says so? How entertaining. In either case...Seig Heil!

As each year passes you'll have less and less, when was the last time you ate eye-fillet steak? Bought a decent wrist watch or lashed out on a great winter jacket?

Had an excellent steak last weekend. Have never worn a wristwatch. I wear two different winter jackets. One is more a smoking jacket type thing, my mother gave it to me as a Christmas present when I was drilling wells in Canada, sent it to the hotel wrapped up, they put it under the Christmas tree in the lobby. And on Christmas morning told me, "Hey...you've got a present under the tree!". I loved the staff, and they took care of me while I taught yet others under the yoke of your King how to do it like Americans do. My emergency jacket I carry in the trunk of my travel car? A RCMP winter parka. Bought it at a surplus store when in northern Alberta, the thing is the exact opposite of modern gear, heavy, double insulated, nice easy to access pockets, have only used it once or two even though Colorado winters where I am only occasionally go below -25C.

What a pathetic life you must live, for great things to be dictated by....STUFF.

How are your kids and family doing?

Pull your dumb head out of the ground and look around

Did that when I left the holler back in the last century. Graduated high school, and knew that being an ignorant, unthinking, howl at the moon uneducated ditch digger wasn't going to be my life. Thanks for providing perspective on what I avoided through good decisions beginning back when I graduated high school.
