Fusion power has been a decade away since the 60s.
Excellent - clean fusion power is just fifteen years away. Back when I was young, they said it would take a decade and a half.
I feel like I have been reading this same article for the last fifty years...
Just another $10 billion and one more decade, and we will have a fusion device that actually produces more energy than it consumes!
I’m holding out for the pill that turns water into gasoline.
Ping.
I think I read this same story 30 years ago!
Not sure I understand how fused H-BO atoms will produce electricity directly that can be captured. Unless what they are saying is that the fusion produces electrons....but then the higher energy values don’t make sense.
So how is the ‘direct electricity’ being captured? Induced from a generated mag field?
Fusion the power source of the future....and it always will be.
An Australian spin-off company, HB11 Energy, holds the patents for Hora’s process. “If the next few years of research don’t uncover any major engineering hurdles, we could have prototype reactor within a decade,” said Warren McKenzie, managing director of HB11.
...
In other words, it’s a scam.
Re: “...the energy generated by hydrogen-boron fusion converts directly into electricity.”
I don’t understand how that is possible.
My thanks to anyone who has a brief explanation about how that works.
> within a decade,
Wow! Fusion energy, a cancer cure and a diabetes cure in 10 years. Unfortunately the earth only has a decade remaining due to global warming.
Powerful lasers required. How much power will be required to create how much power?
Hmmm...Speaking of things I once thought impossible, wish I had known about this before I let the urologist insert a laser and burn a tunnel through my prostate. It definitely created a sustained confusion reaction.
