So the new fear will be of living in a distant future on a waterless planet where everyone sounds like Donald Duck or Alvin and the Chipmunks...

LOL! Keep the funding rolling in. Success is JUST over the horizon.

That’s the question we’re not supposed to ask. Fossil fuels are the other side of the coin for Electric Cars and other types of ‘new’ energy. I think it also takes a lot of fossil fuel use to produce Ethanol as well. That fact is rarely brought up for full disclosure and discussion.

Did you notice (if I recall correctly) that the scientist who replies “Well I’m not Tony Stark” is played by Ralphie from A Christmas Story?
To: SeekAndFind
nearer to replacing depleting fossil fuels... Far from depleted. Not even sure if it’s from fossils as to the amount found and used since it’s discovery. Makes me think it’s something the earth produces almost naturally:-)

What could possibly go wrong? Talk about your global warming.

8,600 TIMES HOTTER THAN THE SUN.
ON EARTH.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

The vessel is in a shape of the magnetic fields driven by a core. These magnetic fields keep the plasma contained in a ball of âfireâ which does not touch the container which remains insulated by a vacuum, I believe.As we well know, power interruptions can NEVER occur, and mistakes are IMPOSSIBRU!

To: JimRed
It mentions something about an intense magnetic field that prevents the plasma from touching the sides of the containment vessel.

Of course, Communist science is ahead of American. Of course.

“So how does it not melt vaporize its containment vessel and everything around it?”
The containment vessel is magnetic fields. So the hydrogen reacting doesn’t touch anything that melts.
The key statistic that they DON’T give is how much energy went in and how much came out. It takes a lot of energy to run a Tokamak.
I’m not sure how they address your melting problem when they want to get the energy out in a useful form.

At a time when fossil fuel supplies are dwindling and fears about global warming are forcing governments to seek clean energy sources, fusion could provide the answer.
Hmmmmm, have to question these premises.

And how is that going to power my car? If fusion power gets cheap enough, battery powered cars will become (more) practical. Fusion fuel might be nearly free - but somebody will have to pay for the reactor.

Vast quantities of ifs and buts in there. Really I’m calling into question the headline, there’s a good half dozen serious technological leaps between this and the end of fossil fuel.

102 seconds?
The Russians, who seemed to be the leaders in this technology, have only mastered fractions of a second.

my microwave did that once when I pressed "beverage"...talk about HOT coffee!!!
The Chinese did this a few days after the NORKS blew up their hydrogen bomb....coincidence????, I think not.

50 million degrees C -- for 102 seconds. How do they contain that amount of heat? You're kidding.....my oven has a SPRING LOADED door and a silicone gasket that goes all around it....what more do you need?????

Good point, never thought about that. That would explain all the burnt food that comes out of mine.......thanks.
