Ping!.....
If it does anything to make the US independent of Muslim crude oil, Obastard will oppose it.
Next they should work on a new approach for a super efficient coal powered steam-shovel that can drastically reduce the amount of coal necessary to run the steam-shovel.
This can’t allowed - it’s too dangerous. Lasers kill people, just ask the people of Alderaan.
Do they still mine borax out in california? Just asking. I’ve looked into IEF research that Farnsworth, Hirsch, Langmuir, and others have done, and the H-B11 reaction has shown the most promise for clean fusion reactions.
Sorry... I’ll stick with eCat ... Which won’t be centrally controlled and cheap to maintain
Which, of course, is the reason ‘they’ don’t want it
BTW, this isn’t new technology. The concept of inertial electrostatic confinement goes back to the 1920’s with vacuum tube research conducted by Irving Languir from General Electric. By the 1960’s Philo Farnsworth was producing equipment that would produce high quantities of neutrons from D-T reactions in what amounted to a large vacuum tube, in essence creating a miniature star in a bottle.
And, does it produce more energy than is consumed in producing the heat, are is this just a big expensive popcorn popper.
bttt
Fusion ping!
For me, the exciting aspect of this discovery is:
“Such a power plant is ideal for stationary electrical generation in a power station or for space propulsion.”
Those that really begin to exploit the solar system (mining, colonization and so forth) will be the winners of the 21st Century.
I hope most of them are of American origin, and not Chinese. I also hope the bulk of it is done by private entities, not governments. SpaceX is a good start - in fact if I was Elon Musk I’d immediately start an initiative to incubate this technology for interplanetary travel.
Imagine the coup if it were not a government, but a private company, that first landed humans on Mars...
